Daily Chairperson of the Gerindra Party DPP Sufmi Dasco Ahmad (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party confirmed the existence of a political agreement between Prabowo Subianto and Anies Baswedan in the 2017 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election. Even so, the contents of the agreement are internal and not public consumption. This also dismissed the statement of the Sudirman Said Coalition Team which stated that there was no political agreement between Prabowo and Anies in the past. The Daily Chairperson of the Gerindra Party Sufmi Dasco Ahmad said, the political agreement between Prabowo and Anies was carried out ahead of the 2017 DKI Pilgub registration. However, he continued, the political agreement was not for public consumption. "So actually, if someone says that there is no such agreement, for example, that person may not know. Why? Because so far what is called an internal agreement, we are not exposing to the public and it is indeed not for public consumption," said Dasco in his statement, Thursday, January 31. When urged to reveal the contents of the political agreement, Dasco said it was very confidential and only known internally from the Gerindra Party. "So if asked if there is an agreement? Yes, yes, you can enter Gerindra first," he said. What is clear, said Dasco, the agreement existed and was written by the Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party Fadli Zon. "What is certain is that it was indeed written by Mr. Fadli, the goods are now in me, "concluded Dasco. Previously, Anies Baswedan's Envoy in the Small Team of the Revised Coalition, Sudirman Said mentioned that Anies never made a political agreement with the General Chair of the Gerindra Party Prabowo Subianto. It's possibility of Pak Anies being willing to become vice presidential or not, "said Sudirman.
