JAKARTA - Head of the Strategic Communications Agency and Coordinator for the DPP Spokesperson for the Democratic Party, Herzaky Mahendra Putra, said that there are four names that have strengthened to become candidates for vice president for the future presidential candidate for the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) Prabowo Subianto.

"First, we heard that Mr. Prabowo Subianto's vice presidential candidate strengthened on four names," Herzaky said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, October 9.

Herzaky detailed that the four names were Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto who was promoted by the Golkar Party and the Minister of SOEs who was promoted by the National Mandate Party (PAN).

"Three, Gibran Rakabuming, Mayor of Solo, four Khofifah Indar Parawansa, Governor of East Java," continued Herzaky.

He revealed that Prabowo Subianto would ask and listen to the views of each leader of KIM's political parties, before deciding who to be appointed as vice president.

The Democratic Party, said Herzaky, will provide consideration and input regarding Prabowo's presidential election, when this is requested.

"But of course, for the Democratic Party, it is Mr. Prabowo who will decide who will read the vice president later," he said.

According to Herzaky, his party hopes that the vice president that Prabowo will choose will be the right person and able to bring victory to the coalition.

As previously reported, Gerindra Party Secretary General Ahmad Muzani said the Advanced Indonesia Coalition held a closed meeting in Jakarta on Monday afternoon.

"For places in Jakarta and secrets, we want everyone to focus," said Secretary General of Gerindra Ahmad Muzani after the Declaration of Prabowo Shield Volunteers at the Joang '45 Jakarta building, Monday.

According to him, the meeting between the secretary-general of the political party of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) discussed the basic format of Prabowo Subianto's victory in the 2024 Presidential Election.

However, Muzani said Monday afternoon's meeting had not yet discussed the name of the prospective vice presidential candidate accompanying Prabowo Subianto.

"We haven't discussed the names of the vice presidential candidates today," he said.
