JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party appreciates the results of the Indonesian Poltracking survey which shows the increase in the electability of its General Chair, Prabowo Subianto as a presidential candidate (candidate).
Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Habiburokhman, claimed Prabowo's superiority from another name was due to Prabowo's hard work as defense minister in the Jokowi-Ma'ruf Amin government. In addition, Prabowo is also close to President Jokowi.
"We see that Pak Prabowo's high electability is the fruit of his hard work in the cabinet and Pak Prabowo's closeness with President Jokowi," said Habiburokhman, quoted on Saturday, April 29.
Gerindra assessed that the public had considered that Prabowo was a committed figure and was able to continue the current government's achievements. In addition, Prabowo is also considered to have an impact in the international world representing Indonesia.
"The public also considers Pak Prabowo to be a strong figure as Indonesia's leader in the international world, this is related to the heated up of global politics such as the Russia-Ukraine war, US-China tensions, etc," said Habiburokhman.
