JAKARTA - Democratic Party spokesman Herzaky Mahendra Putra said Democratic Party Chairman Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) was prioritized to become a minister in the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka government.

This was conveyed by Herzaky when asked about the name that would be submitted to Prabowo to fill the ministerial position. He said AHY had loyalty and competence.

"The issue of figures is of course clear for our general chairman, AHY the main one," Herzaky told reporters at the DPP office of the Democratic Party, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, April 24.

As for other names, of course some will be offered. "Yes, we can see from the competence and hard work. We know that fighting for Prabowo is not easy," he said.

Moreover, Herzaky believes that whoever the figure offered by AHY to Prabowo is not arbitrarily chosen. Criteria and needs will be prioritized.

"AHY always starts from the criteria, not from the figure but according to his needs. Of course this is also the result of discussions with Prabowo. This is the president's domain along with AHY but at the end Prabowo remains the decisive president," he explained.

As previously reported, the Chairman of the Democratic Party, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, said that he had made a commitment with Prabowo Subianto as the elected presidential candidate regarding ministerial rations. The cadres were asked not to sue much.

"Regarding the position in the cabinet and other positions in the upcoming government, we have made a commitment with Pak Prabowo. Let's leave it to him," AHY said at the DPP office of the Democratic Party, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, April 24.

"Don't burden Pak Prabowo with excessive demands," he continued.

AHY said the lobbying on ministerial rations would be his business. He also ensured that only the best cadres would be proposed to fill ministerial positions in the upcoming government.

"Also entrust my full task to me, in time I will choose the best cadres of the Democratic Party to help Pak Prabowo," said the Minister of ATR/BPN.
