JAKARTA - The Governor of East Java, Khofifah Indar Parawansa was appointed as a national campaigner (Jurkamnas) as well as a member of the Steering Committee of TKN Prabowo-Gibran after officially supporting candidate pair number 02, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

The chairman of TKN Prabowo-Gibran, Rosan Roeslani, admitted that he was grateful that Khofifah finally joined to win Prabowo-Gibran. In fact, TKN immediately made a decree on the assignment of Khofifah as a national jurkamnas.

"We have made the decree, today, I have signed it, and he has said that he will take time off in several activities, and he will campaign with us to win Pak Prabowo and Gibran," said Rosan in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Wednesday, January 10.

According to Rosan, Khofifah's support is news at the beginning of the year which is very encouraging for TKN Prabowo-Gibran.

"This is certainly one thing that we are very grateful for, because this will increase our enthusiasm, because we know Khofifah's mother as Governor in East Java, but also has a very wide time base and of course we will move together," he continued.

Rosan explained the reason why Khofifah became a national jurkam. He said it was Khofifah's own request.

"First, he also told me that I want to be not only in the East Java area, because Mrs. Khofifah's Muslim network is the general chairman of her NU Muslim network throughout Indonesia. So after talking and she wants to move all out, she even said 'I want to be a national jurkam', that's precisely from Mrs. Khofifah," said Rosan.

Rosan added that the TKN approach to Khofifah and other figures in East Java had been carried out for a long time. Rosan targets that Prabowo-Gibran's voice in East Java can reach 65 percent after Khofifah joins.

"We invite all figures, all individuals who really want to contribute with us. So we do have a lot to approach, but yes, Mrs. Khofifah has a positive response today," said Rosan.

"And our target is 65 percent in East Java," he concluded.
