JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party DPP Habiburokhman said that the former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudjiastuti, had a very high chance of joining the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka National Campaign Team (TKN). He believes that Susi's closeness to the Prabowo-Gibran camp is officially just a matter of time.

This was conveyed by Habiburokhman in response to Gerindra West Java's claim that Susi would join the West Java winning team.

According to him, Susi is the nation's best figure who has brilliant achievements as a minister. In fact, he said, even after not becoming a minister, Susi still campaigned for many positive things, especially regarding maritime affairs and fishermen.

"If I hear that his views are like, indeed a professor is about how fishermen function to support national defense. Because he can be at the outermost points of our territory. It is natural that all candidate pairs want Mrs. Susi to attend. We really want him to be here with us," said Habiburokhman, Tuesday, November 21.

Even so, the Deputy Commander of the Law and Advocacy for the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN) will respect Susi's decision if she does not join his side.

"For example, joining Pak AMIN's camp, Mr. Ganjar has no problem. Mr. Anies-Muhaimin then Mr. Ganjar is also the nation's best sons, this is a fastabiqul jhoirot contestation, yes, competing to do your best," he said.

Habiburokhman said that relations and communication with Susi were very good. Both personally with Presidential Candidate Prabowo, as well as with Gerindra cadres and the West Java Regional Campaign Team (TKD).

"For our feelings, it's just a matter of time, Mrs. Susi comes closer to us officially," he concluded.
