JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung responded to President Prabowo Subianto's statement that he admitted supporting him to become the Governor of DKI despite coming from the PDI Perjuangan (PDIP).
Where, in Prabowo's leadership as head of state today, the position of PDIP is not included in the cabinet and is outside the government. According to Pramono, the central government's support for local governments does not deal with political parties.
"If you become governor, it has nothing to do with party affairs," said Pramono in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, January 6.
As the regional head, Pramono admitted that he had to be able to work together with the central government in taking care of the governance of the government in Jakarta until his term of office ended.
Moreover, cooperation or coordination across government agencies has been passed by Pramono for decades, from his experience as a member of parliament to the Cabinet Secretary.
"Moreover, I have been in the central government for 25 years, so I will definitely work hard for it," said Pramono.
"Alhamdulillah, so far almost all programs in the DKI Jakarta Government have received full support from the central government," he continued.
Previously, President Prabowo Subianto revealed that national unity efforts were not limited to the choice of political parties to join the government or not. According to him, togetherness can still be built even though there are differences in political positions, including the existence of parties outside the government.
"Our country is great, our country is rich, and our country can be more prosperous if its leaders are united, cooperate," said Prabowo.
Prabowo emphasized that the unity in question was not the uniformity of political attitudes. He also alluded to his political relationship with the PDI Perjuangan. According to him, even though PDIP is outside the government, Prabowo admitted that he still supports Pramono who was carried by PDIP in the 2024 gubernatorial election.
"United does not mean that everyone has to join the government, no. PDI-P can be outside, can be but cooperation. I support Pramono to be the Governor of DKI, right," said Prabowo.
