JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party began to be inflamed after the Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Board of Trustees Sandiaga Uno expressed his readiness if he was supported to run as a presidential candidate in 2024.
Deputy Chairperson of Gerindra Habiburokhman suggested that Sandiaga should focus on working as Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) rather than talking about the 2024 presidential election.
"We recommend that Mr. Sandiaga concentrate 100 percent and focus on working at his post as Menparekraf until his term of office is completed," said Habiburokhman in his statement, Friday, September 9. The spokesman for the Gerindra Party also emphasized that only the General Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Prabowo Subianto, was bought by Gerindra cadres to run in the 2024 presidential election nomination.
"If we are Gerindra, the reference is in the results of the Rapimnas, which makes Mr. Prabowo to run as a presidential candidate in 2024," he added.
Habiburokhman ensured that the decision of the Gerindra Rapimnas in Sentul, West Java recently, had unanimously chosen Prabowo to run again as a presidential candidate. Moreover, the decision was agreed by the Rapimnas which was attended by all DPDs carrying DPC aspirations, PAC, to Gerindra branches.
"There is not a single branch throughout Indonesia that has aspirations to eradicate people other than Pak Prabowo," said Habiburokhman.
So, he said, there is not the slightest opportunity for other names to become Gerindra presidential candidates besides Prabowo. "We believe that Pak Prabowo is the unifying figure of the nation, who can save this nation from the threat of division," he said.
Previously, Sandiaga Uno expressed his readiness when he was promoted to run in the 2024 presidential election. He conveyed that when asked by the media crew after attending a gathering with the Yogyakarta Special Region PPP DPW, Tuesday night, August 30.
The statement then became a question mark. The reason is that the results of the Rapimnas in Sentul have agreed that Gerindra will only carry Prabowo as a presidential candidate in 2024.
In the aftermath of his statement, Sandiaga's (KTA) member card as Gerindra cadre has been questioned recently. Sandiaga also emphasized that Prabowo Subianto's party cadre was still a cadre.
Sandiaga even stated that he obeyed the party's decision to nominate Prabowo as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election. "I am still a Gerindra cadre and obedient to the party's decision," said Sandiaga at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Thursday, September 8 night.
