Jakarta Pilkada Health Test, Pramono Anung Permit Absent From Accompanying Jokowi Today

JAKARTA - The Jakarta Governor's Candidate, Pramono Anung, said that he had asked permission not to accompany President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) because he had to undergo a health test as a stage of the nomination process in the Regional Head Election (Pilkada) contestation.

The request for permission was submitted to the Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Pratikno.

"I always obey the rules, in particular I also call Pak Praktik. I can't accompany the president's event because I have to have a full one-day health test," Pramono Anung told reporters at Tarakan Hospital, Friday, August 30.

According to him, there are several Jokowi activities that must be accompanied today, one of which is the inauguration of the Dharmais Hospital.

However, when asked about the request he submitted to the Minister of State Secretary regarding the leave of office as Cabinet Secretary, Pramono Anung denied it.

This is because the application submitted is limited to permission for today's activities. "Allow," said Pramono Anung.

Pramono Anung and Rano Karno will undergo a series of medical tests at the Tarakan Regional General Hospital (RSUD), today.

Health checks are one of the stages that must be carried out as a Candidate for Governor and Deputy Governor of Jakarta.
