JAKARTA - The daily chairman of Gerindra Sufmi Dasco Ahmad poked fun at the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees Sandiaga Uno, who more visited himself with the agenda of other political parties (political parties), one of which was PPP.

"Recently, more parties are present at other party events to socialize presidential candidates," said Dasco at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, January 3.

Dasco said the Gerindra Party did not close the space for its cadres who want to run in the 2024 presidential election. However, it is necessary to emphasize that according to the rules and mechanisms of the party, General Chair Prabowo Subianto has determined as the only presidential candidate in 2024 from Gerindra.

"As a nation's son, we, Mr. Prabowo, of course also don't mind if anyone wants to participate in the presidential election contestation. There is no intention of obstructing it, and we also give it a chance," he said. What was conveyed by the Chairman, it should be clear that Rapimnas then was certain to nominate Mr. Prabowo. No Gerindra cadres then run for other parties, right," continued Dasco.

But in principle, added Dasco, the Gerindra Party provides the widest opportunity for cadres to express themselves if they have the desire to run for president.

"What we are saying is a form of appreciation to our democratic nature. So none of us wants to prohibit it, if anyone wants to participate in the contestation. Please," said Dasco. Previously, Gerindra Daily Chair Sufmi Dasco Ahmad mentioned the news that Sandiaga Uno had moved parties to PPP. Sandiaga also denied this by emphasizing that he was still a Gerindra Party cadre.

"Pak Dasco's statement may be in response to several times I was invited by PPP. Incidentally, we are also very close to partnering, but until now I am still a member of Gerindra, a cadre," said Sandiaga at the State Palace, Jakarta, Monday, January 2.
