JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Gerindra Party Board of Trustees Sandiaga Uno decided he no longer wanted to talk about the political agreement between Prabowo and Anies and himself. He did not want polemics to continue. "After I pray the istikharah prayer, after I considered consulting with my family, I don't want to continue the conversation on this," Sandiaga told reporters in East Java, Tuesday, February 7. The Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy handed over to anyone who knew to talk. Sandiaga chose to focus on working and preparing for the 2024 election contestation which will be coming soon. "It's better later for those who know to be able to convey, but from me, that's enough," he said. "I want to focus on looking to the future, democratic contestation is just a moment away. Let's face the future with a sense of joy and joy and unity of our nation," continued Sandiaga. Previously, Sandiaga Uno revealed that there had been a political agreement between Prabowo and Anies and himself. The agreement was made ahead of the 2017 DKI Jakarta Pilkada. One of the contents of the agreement, based on the circulating news, was that Anies would not apply as a presidential candidate if Prabowo returned interested in running for office. However, Sandiaga reluctant to talk much about this point. "If the agreement is valid and if it is not terminated," said Sandiaga at the State Palace Complex, Jakarta, Monday, January 30. Meanwhile, Anies Baswedan's team representative, Sudirman Said, firmly denied that the political agreement contained Anies' agreement not to run for president if Prabowo ran. He only said that the agreement only talked about the costs of the 2017 DKI gubernatorial election. It is known that the Gerindra Party was the main supporter of the Anies-Sandiaga pair during the last DKI Pilkada. "I did not hear any of the agreements. What is there is an agreement regarding the various costs of the Pilkada with Pak Sandi, that's what I know," Said said at a restaurant in the Tangerang area, Banten, Monday. One of the costs entered into the agreement was related to the debt between Prabowo and Anies and Sandiaga. "Because at that time Pak Anies had no money," he said.
