Azis admitted that he did not know the exact number. Because, it is the authority of Airlangga Hartarto as the elected general chairman and also the holder of the formal mandate.

"Oh, whether the number is up to the general chairman," said Azis.

Including the question of whether Bambang Soesatyo and his loyalists will get a position in the management, said Azis, it was handed over to Airlangga as the sole formulation of management arrangements.

"I don't know, I didn't participate (in the compilation). If I did, I would know, but I didn't," said Azis.

However, it is not yet certain whether the position of deputy chairman in general was presented to accommodate Bamsoet and its loyalists, as a form of Airlangga's commitment after Bamoset decided to resign from the candidacy.

"It's not final yet, (but) he has already sent names," said Azis.
