JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party DPP requested that the meeting of the General Chairperson (Ketum) Prabowo Subianto with Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka and Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution in this week not be associated with political maneuvers. The daily chairman of the Gerindra Party DPP, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, explained that Prabowo's visit to his children and former President Joko Widodo was a long scheduled gathering agenda. "Actually, what Pak Prabowo has done is an old agenda, namely to Solo in order to distribute motorized vehicles to Babinsa. As a regional head, of course, it is normal to stay in touch with Pak Prabowo," said Dasco at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Friday, January 27. "I don't think that gathering should be related to any political maneuvers. Because that's a normal thing, friendship, in us as the Indonesian nation," he continued. Furthermore, Dasco revealed, the Minister of Defense's arrival to Medan was to attend two agendas. First, the wedding of his spokesman, Dahnil Simanjuntak. Second, the Christmas celebration of the Great Indonesia Christian Movement or Christians in the Gerindra Party. "Second, there is a Christmas celebration of the Great Indonesia Christian Movement or Christians in the Gerindra Party which is centered in North Sumatra. So it is the same with the visit to the area, of course, gathering with regional heads is normal," he said. Meanwhile, the meeting in Solo, said Dasco, was a form of Prabowo's support for Gibran in carrying out his political sphere. Moreover, Gerindra is the party that carried Jan Ethes' father in the election of the Mayor of Solo. "The gathering with regional heads is commonplace and special about Mas Gibran as the supporting party during the Solo Pilwalkot. Of course, Pak Prabowo gave encouragement and support to Mas Gibran, to continue to take part in the political arena in Indonesia," explained Dasco. Previously, the General Chairperson of the Gerindra Party DPP Prabowo Subianto, met with Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution after visiting the office of Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka on Tuesday, January 24, yesterday. In a meeting with Bobby last night, Prabowo admitted that Medan had been moving forward since being led by Kahiyang Ayu's husband. "Do I have to be explicit here. We first carried him forward as mayor, right," said Prabowo during a visit to the Medan Mayor's official residence, Jalan Jenderal Sudirman Number 35, Thursday, January 26, evening.
