JAKARTA - Deputy General Chairperson (Waketum) of the Gerindra Party, Habiburokhman, said that the Governor of East Java (Jatim) Khofifah Indar Parawansa was included as one of his favorite names to become the Chairman of the Success Team (Timses) for winning the General Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Prabowo Subianto, in the 2024 presidential election.

"So it is natural (Khofifah) to be one of the favorites of friends to be the Head of Timses," said Habiburokhman, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, September 25.

According to him, Khofifah's name was considered as the Head of Timses Prabowo because of her leadership role.

"One of the things that is considered is Mrs. Khofifah. She is one of the extraordinary women, has been a minister, a success," he said.

In addition, he continued, Khofifah also has the same spirit of fighting with Prabowo Subianto who is persistent in fighting despite repeated failures.

"Bu Khofifah is a typical fighter like Pak Prabowo. People who fight don't know to give up, fail to rise again, fail to rise again," he said.

However, Habiburokhman said there had been no official communication between the Gerindra Party and the former Minister of Social Affairs to discuss the matter of the proposal to become the Chairman of the Prabowo winning Team.

"Maybe not officially yet, but communication with Mrs. Khofifah as far as I know I am good. Mr. Prabowo has met him several times," he said.
