JAKARTA - Investment Minister/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board Bahlil Lahadalia firmly denied that he was included in the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka National Campaign Team (TKN).

Although, Bahlil even applied for leave to take Prabowo-Gibran to register as a presidential and vice-presidential candidate to the General Elections Commission (KPU) office on Wednesday, October 25.

Bahlil reasoned that he was only limited to escorting Gibran, who he considered his own younger brother, to the KPU.

"Let's just register the mayor, my sister. Can't we, family, take his sister? Right, that's okay. The important thing is leave," Bahlil said when met at the Hotel Borobudur, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, October 31.

Bahlil was previously said to have been appointed as deputy chairman of TKN Prabowo Gibran. However, Secretary General of Gerindra Ahmad Muzani emphasized that Bahlil also concentrated on the duties of the government as an assistant to the president.
