JAKARTA - Deputy General Chairperson (Waketum) of the Gerindra Party, Habiburokhman, assessed that the meeting of the PKB General Chairperson (Ketum) Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin with the Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP Puan Maharani was only a political "gimmick" ahead of the 2024 General Election.
"Regarding whether this is a satire and so on, we interpret it as a dynamic, as a gimmick, before the election, it's normal," Habiburokhman said in a video message received in Jakarta, Friday, July 28.
He also admitted that he was relaxed in responding to the PKB meeting, which was his coalition partner at the Greater Indonesia Awakening Coalition (KKIR) with PDIP.
"We responded casually to the PKB and PDIP meeting, Gus Muhaimin and Mba Puan Maharani were indeed our friends in the party and individuals," he said, confiscated by Antara.
Habiburokhman then reiterated the political cooperation between the Gerindra Party and the PKB which is still being established at the KKIR.
"Of course we understand that PKB-Gerindra is bound by the KKIR, where we have a commitment to progress, yes, to propose a presidential and vice presidential candidate that we mutually agree on," he said.
So, he continued, the decision regarding the future presidential candidate (candidate) and vice presidential candidate (cawapres) will be determined by the General Chair of the Gerindra Party Prabowo Subianto and Muhaimin Iskandar.
"In the end, everything about determining the vice presidential candidate will be relaxed decided by Pak Prabowo and Gus Muhaimin Iskandar," he said.
