JAKARTA - PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan admitted that he wanted his political electability to increase like Prabowo Subianto. He said Prabowo's electability increased because he was a minister and was often invited by President Joko Widodo to make a working visit.

This was revealed by Zulhas after the Ramadan gathering which was also attended by Gerindra Chairman Prabowo Subianto, PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar, Golkar Party Chairman Airlangga Hartato, and Plt General Chairperson of PPP Mardiono.

"I also want to (close to Jokowi)," said Zulhas at the PAN DPP Office, South Jakarta, Sunday, April 2.

According to Zulhas Jokowi, it is like perfume that can spread a fragrant odor to people nearby.

In the survey results of a number of institutions, it was stated that the level of public satisfaction with Jokowi during his time as President of the Republic of Indonesia was quite high. From there, Zulhas wanted it to spread to his electability.

"If we are close to perfume, that's the fragrance. Imagine, Mr. Jokowi is 74 (percent of the level of public satisfaction). He likes it extraordinary. So, if we join the fragrance, it also smells good," explained Zulhas.

In his remarks at the gathering, Zulkifli Hasan alluded to Prabowo's rising electability as Minister of Defense. According to Zulkifli, Prabowo's electability increased thanks to Jokowi who often invited him to work.

"If Pak Prabowo and Pak Jokowi harvest rice, the survey will increase, sir. Yes, that's right, sir. So, if you join, the aura is rising, we will be carried away, sir," he said.

Jokowi responded to this statement. According to Jokowi, Prabowo's increased electability was not because of him. This was revealed by Jokowi when giving a speech at the Ramadan Gathering at the PAN DPP Office, South Jakarta, which was also attended by Prabowo.

"This was mentioned earlier about Pak Prabowo's increase in electability. I thought that his increase in electability was not because of me. No, yes, because he and Gerindra himself," said Jokowi.
