JAKARTA - Secretary General (Secretary General) of the Gerindra Party Ahmad Muzani said that his visit to the DPP office of the Democratic Party did not mean to tease the Democratic Party's political decisions regarding the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).

"If we communicate with the Democrats, we don't mean to tease the political decisions that have been decided by the Democrats," Muzani said at a press conference after a meeting with the Secretary General of the Democratic Party, Teuku Riefky Harsya, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, July 20.

Muzani explained that his party understands that the Democrats have their own political decisions, namely to carry Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate (candidate) with the Coalition for Change for Unity.

"Similarly, the Democrats already know and know that the Gerindra party has made a final decision regarding the presidential candidate, namely Pak Prabowo Subianto and has collaborated with the National Awakening Party," he added.

Regarding communication between Gerindra and Democrats, Muzani said it was an effort to stay in touch and join hands.

Muzani assessed that a lot of political power was needed to build Indonesia.

"Building Indonesia with a total of 275 million people, with a myriad of problems, with complicated, complicated, complicated problems, of course requires a lot of political party strength. It takes a lot of strength. We communicate it," he said.

Muzani did not deny that the meeting also discussed the vice presidential candidate (cawapres). However, Gerindra and Democrats agreed on their respective political choices.

"(Cawapres) is discussed, but the conclusion is on their respective political choices. Gerindra goes to Gerindra, Democrats to Democrats," said Muzani.

In addition, Muzani delivered a rhyme at the end of his press conference. In the rhyme, he joked inviting the Democratic Party to join in supporting Prabowo.

"Going to the market to buy avocado, buying it in a floating market, Pak Prabowo will be stronger, if the Democratic Party joins more and more," he said.
