Prabowo-Jokowi Duet Declared Volunteers, Gerindra: Just Enjoy The Dynamics

JAKARTA - The Daily Chair of the Gerindra Party, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, responded casually to the declaration of volunteer support for Prabowo Subianto to partner with Joko Widodo for the 2024 presidential election.

The support came from the Prabowo-Jokowi 2024 Joint Secretariat. This volunteer group declared the General Chair of the Gerindra Party Prabowo Subianto as a presidential candidate, while Joko Widodo as a vice-presidential candidate. Because Jokowi has been president for two terms.

"We just enjoy it as a dynamic ahead of 2024, after all, the presidential election is still in 2024", said Sufmi Dasco to reporters, Monday, January 17.

According to the Deputy Speaker of the DPR (House of Representatives), the proposed pairs of candidates are the rights of citizens as permitted by the constitution.

"The name is a pair of pairs, it's a dynamic in society, stating that rights and opinions are guaranteed by law", said Dasco.

However, according to Dasco, currently, the Gerindra Party has not decided who will accompany Prabowo to fight in the 2024 presidential election. Gerindra, he said, is still mapping out the dynamics of the coalition of political parties and figures. "We from the Gerindra party are also still mapping, both for the coalition of parties and vice-presidential candidates", he said.
