PURWOKERTO - Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Greater Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra) Mochamad Iriawan (Iwan Bule) said that until now there has been no figure at the level of the Gerindra Party chairman.

"Sorry, once again, is there anyone at his level (Prabowo Subianto, ed)," he said when met by reporters in Purwokerto as reported by ANTARA, Monday, June 12.

Iwan Bule also gave an example when Prabowo spoke at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) Shangri-La Dialogue event in Singapore, the courage of the Minister of Defense was extraordinary.

Therefore, he said, his party must start to think clearly for the Indonesian people.

Alluding to the vice presidential candidate who will accompany Prabowo in his candidacy as president in the 2024 election, he admits that until now there is no picture.

"Yes, my friends can profile from several candidates, I did not mention the candidate. He saw the track record first, then the international network," explained the former chairman of PSSI.

Regarding the possibility of President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) support for Prabowo, he said that until now the General Chair of the Gerindra Party is still an assistant to the president.

It is believed that Jokowi's policy, he said, would be continued by the Minister of Defense.

In fact, he said, Prabowo already has the concept of the State Capital (IKN) since 2013.

"Moreover, he, a military, must be committed. He is a patriotic, never give up, manly and brave, attaching importance to the interests of the people rather than personal interests," he explained.

Therefore, he admitted that he deliberately came to the regions, including Banyumas, because he wanted to see how the DPC-DPC moved for Gerindra's victory and carried out the occupancy until Prabowo became president.

"That's the most important thing. I've served here 2.5 years as Head of State Police, so while it's nostalgia and from below I brought it, yesterday I was in Ciamis, Tasikmalaya, and here, to the east, hopefully later I can go up again," said Iwan.
