Gerindra Party Prepares Cadres To Become Jokowi's Minister In Today's Memory, July 26, 2019

JAKARTA Memori hari ini, enam tahun yang lalu, 26 Juli 2019, Partai Gerindra menegaskan akan siapkan kader-kadernya jika Presiden Indonesia terpilih, Joko Widodo (Jokowi) inginkan. Upaya itu dilakukan sebagai bentuk kolaborasi membuat Indonesia lebih baik.

Previously, the 2019 presidential election brought Jokowi back with Prabowo Subianto. The fight between the two in the presidential election is considered interesting. This condition raises the narrative that Prabowo will continue to be an opposition.

The re-meeting of two big figures Jokowi and Prabowo in the 2019 presidential election brought a stir. Jokowi and the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) tried to think about the right potential companions. Likewise with Prabowo and the Greater Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra).

The search is not easy. Both of them need a representative who is able to raise their voice. Nor is it a figure who is just a complement. Jokowi's camp finally chose Ma'ruf Amin. Prabowo's camp chose Sandiaga Uno.

The two pairs then began to launch campaigns here and there. Political promises are spread. They want to increase the lives of the Indonesian people. This condition made the Prabowo camp not remain silent. Jokowi's government is trying to be evaluated everywhere.

These matters include, among others, related to the implementation of the State Budget, the neutrality of state officials, the implementation of bureaucracy, press restrictions, and the implementation of the law. Jokowi's camp did not remain silent. They attacked Prabowo by reviewing Prabowo's past.

All the performances were finally determined on April 17, 2019. The Indonesian people flocked to elect the new President of Indonesia. The result is a quick count out. Jokowi is 55 percent superior. While Prabowo is only 45 percent.

Prabowo also refused to lose. Prabowo felt cheated because their internal calculations won.

"As a Muslim, I want to close by singing takbir and after that prostrate with gratitude. All my friends defended us, the Catholics, Protestants, Hindus, Buddhists, we mostly want to glorify Allah SWT. Based on the results of our real count, we have won 62 percent," Prabowo said as quoted by the CNN page, April 17, 2019.

Prabowo's camp increasingly lacks an invitation when the official results of the General Elections Commission (KPU) determine Jokowi as the elected President of Indonesia. Later, there was an issue that Jokowi would cooperate with Prabowo to take part in his government volume II.

The issue received rejection from the residents of Prabowo. They want Prabowo to remain in opposition. However, the Gerindra Party's statement brought everything down. Gerindra admitted that he would prepare his best cadres to become ministers if Jokowi wanted it on July 26, 2019.

Gerindra promised to choose cadres with integrity. Far from corruption. Gerindra is also ready if its cadres can fill whatever ministerial positions the government wants. It was later discovered that Gerindra received two ministerial rations. One for Prabowo (Minister of Defense). One for Edhy Prabowo (Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries).

"If indeed Mr. Jokowi needs Gerindra cadres to help the running of his government, Gerindra has prepared these people. The cadres prepared are clean cadres, and have integrity, meaning that we are up to Pak Jokowi. "

"That is his prerogative. But they represent the government, together running the wheels of government, if they are asked from the Gerindra party they must commit to helping the government, and Gerindra members of the DPR continue to monitor and control," said Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Arief Poyuono as quoted by the ANTARA website, July 26, 2019.
