JAKARTA - The daily chairman of the Gerindra Party DPP, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, said that Gerindra Chairman Prabowo Subianto will stay in touch with the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) this weekend in Pacitan, East Java.

"Just being able to meet, when it's time, Mr. SBY can accept it this Sunday, and coincidentally Mr. Prabowo, the time is right. If I'm not mistaken, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow in Pacitan," Dasco said as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, May 19.

Dasco said that Prabowo's plan to meet SBY was intended in the context of the 2023 Eid gathering which had not been realized.

"I think that for the meeting, Pak Prabowo and SBY, what I know is that the Eid al-Fitr gathering has been planned," he said.

Not only will he stay in touch with SBY, Dasco said the Minister of Defense plans to visit other senior figures.

Dasco did not deny when confirmed whether one of the figures Prabowo planned to meet was PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"Oh, sure. Just waiting for the schedule when the mother (Megawati) can do it, or when it will match Pak Prabowo's time," he said.

Separately, Gerindra Party Secretary General Ahmad Muzani also agreed that Prabowo's plan to stay in touch with SBY this week.

"This week, but I will check first," said Muzani.

Muzani said the plan to stay by Prabowo would be held at SBY's residence in Pacitan, East Java.

"The information is like that (in Pacitan). Yes, information (at SBY's residence), but I'll check first who knows will change again," he said.

Muzani also said that Prabowo's plan to meet SBY was intended in the context of the 2023 Eid gathering. However, he denied that Prabowo's relationship with SBY was considered one way to attract the Democratic Party to join the Gerindra Party and PKB coalitions.

"I don't think so. This is silaturahmilah. Prabowo has been managed with (other) figures," he said.

Prabowo's plan to meet Megawati is being scheduled by his party.

"It is being scheduled, with Mrs. Puan (Puan Maharani) earlier she also said that she would meet Mr. Prabowo," said Muzani.
