JAKARTA - The general chairmen of political parties (political parties) who are members of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) will hold a meeting to discuss the name of the vice presidential candidate (cawapres) accompanying Prabowo Subianto today. As well as discussing the formulation related to the registration of pairs of presidential and vice-presidential candidates to the KPU RI which will begin on 19 October. Then while carrying out simulations for the vice president, Mr. Prabowo," said Gerindra Daily Chair Sufmi Dasco Ahmad in Kertanegara, Thursday, October 12, evening. However, Dasco said, today's meeting of the leaders has not yet decided the name of Prabowo's vice president. The registration time is still sufficient to consider who is the right person to accompany the minister of the Indonesian defense. "And of course, with the registration not too fast as well, I think tomorrow is a new simulation that will be taken a unanimous decision between the general chairmen of the coalition parties," he said. The general chairman of Gerindra said, there are four strong candidates to become KIM's vice presidential candidate. Name Golkar Ketum Airlangga Hartarto, Minister of BUMN Erick Thohir, East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa, and Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

Dasco denied that Gerindra did not have a preference for the vice presidential figure. According to him, many DPCs and Gerindra DPDs proposed names. It's just that the decision in Rapimcab, the name of the vice presidential candidate, was taken to a higher forum to be determined. "If the proposal is seen in the mass media, it's the DPC-DPC, the regional administrators have then made a rapid meeting, proposing one name. But then, the name will also be Gerindra's decision when it is taken to a higher forum in the form of rapimnas or Rakernas which then accommodates the aspirations of the proposals from below," he concluded.
