JAKARTA - Chairman of the DKI Jakarta PAN DPW Eko Hendro Purnomo or Eko Patrio admitted that he was surprised that his name was proposed to become a candidate for government minister Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka. However, he admitted that he was ready to work professionally if he was appointed to fill the ministerial seat in the cabinet.

"I'm also surprised if I am, but if I am placed anywhere I will work professionally," said Eko Hendro, Tuesday, May 14.

Eko said he would follow the direction of PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan. So far, he said, there has been no serious discussion with Zulhas regarding the name of the ministerial candidate.

"I just joined the party, I just followed Mr. Zulkifli's orders. So those who have full authority have the prerogative, Mr. President, one of the proposers is the leaders. So, because I am in PAN, then I am just Istiqomah with PAN," he said.

Eko also did not know who the names would be proposed to President-elect Prabowo Subianto as a ministerial candidate from PAN. Including the number of seats PAN gets.

"I don't know yet, I don't know. Because of that, Mr. Zul really has the right as General Chair and Mr. President. So I don't know how much he can get, what kind of person is it," he said.
