JAKARTA - Gerindra Party Chairman Prabowo Subianto opened his voice about the candidate for deputy governor (cawagub) who will accompany Ridwan Kamil in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Prabowo said, when it was time to be announced.

"Later on, we will announce it. Let's do it, yes, there will be a little tension," said Prabowo in Kertanegara, Jakarta, Thursday, August 15.

When asked about the initial figure 'S' is a senior PKS politician Suswono who will be RK's companion, Prabowo is reluctant to agree. He said that the matter of cawagub was still in process.

"I think this is all a process," he said.

Prabowo also commented on KIM Plus's declaration. According to the Minister of Defense, this afternoon's meeting with NasDem was one of the explorations of communication towards a major coalition in the Jakarta Pilkada.

"Yes, so of course this is part of a meeting process, a meeting between the leadership elements, in the end the general chairman, the general chairman, the general chairman, there is an agreement, then there will be a follow-up follow-up follow-up follow-up until what process," said Prabowo.

"I think the point is determination, an awareness to work together for the people. Collaboration for the people. Differences of opinion are part of life. Differences in choices are natural, good. We respect each other, but now is the time to unite to work for the people," he concluded.
