JAKARTA - Gerindra Party Secretary General Ahmad Muzani said that his party internally always expects General Chairman Prabowo Subianto to be willing to run as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election. "Gerindra is internally expecting and begging Pak Prabowo to be willing to advance in 2024. We all expect that and hope. Until now, it has not changed, "said Muzani as quoted by Antara, Thursday, May 6.

The Institute for Education, Research, Economic and Social Information (LP3ES) recorded the electability of the Minister of Defense at 16.4 percent. However, according to Muzani, the political decision had not been taken by his party because Prabowo asked that he be given the opportunity to concentrate on carrying out his duties as Minister of Defense. He believes Prabowo will deliver its decision at the right time and if it has been conveyed, the party will immediately make a political decision. "If he (Prabowo) has given certainty, then we will definitely immediately make a political decision that the presidential candidate (candidates) proposed by the Gerindra Party in 2024 are Prabowo Subianto. It's a matter of time, "he said. Previously, the LP3ES survey stated that the most popular or top five figures for the General Chair of Political Parties were Prabowo Subianto (27.6 percent), Megawati Soekarno Putri (23.3 percent), Agus Harimurti. Yudhoyono (21.5 percent), Muhaimin Iskandar (6.8 percent) and Airlangga Hartart o (6.1 percent).
