JAKARTA - Deputy General Chairperson (Waketum) of PKB Jazilul Fawaid, believes that the vice presidential candidate (cawapres) in the pockets of the General Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Prabowo Subianto, is the General Chairperson of Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin. This, according to him, can be seen from the closeness between the two political party leaders who are members of the Greater Indonesia Awakening Coalition (KKIR).

"In my opinion, from the last meeting of Mr. Prabowo and Gus Imin, it is certain. Just look at the body language, if you're not sure it's not this close," said Jazilul, Monday, May 1. After all, said Jazilul, if the two of them don't agree, then the cooperation of political parties will not go this far. Even so, he emphasized, certainty about the Paslon presidential and vice presidential candidates will be announced by Prabowo and Cak Imin officially. "I can only read from his body language (Cak Imin cawapres, ed). (But) the certainty, depending on the official announcement from Pak Prabowo and Gus Imin," said Jazilul.

Previously, Gerindra Party Chairman Prabowo Subianto, admitted that he had pocketed the name of the vice presidential candidate who would accompany him in the 2024 presidential election.

"The vice president is already in my pocket. Do you want to know?" Prabowo said during a meeting with Gerindra party cadres in West Sumatra, Saturday, April 29, evening.

However, Prabowo emphasized that the name of the person who will accompany him in the 2024 presidential election will be announced at the right time. He admitted that he did not want to rush to announce the figure.

"In time it will be announced. If it is announced quickly, there will be no exciting. Politics must be made fun, but beautiful. Don't make tensions, just relax," he said.

"The important thing is that this nation is cool and harmonious. The important thing is that Gerindra should not be arrogant. The more we contain, the more we hate it. Always respect people," continued the Indonesian Minister of Defense.
