Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Prospective presidential candidate from the Advanced Indonesia Coalition, Prabowo Subianto, also attended the peak of the Golkar Party’s 59th anniversary commemoration at the Golkar Party DPP Office, Jakarta, Monday (6/11/2023). The former Golkar politician thanked President Joko Widodo who was also present at the event.
“Once again, thank you Mr. Jokowi. The example you set is your statesmanlike attitude. You defeated me (in two presidential elections) but you invited me to join you,” said Prabowo.
According to him, such moments almost rarely occur. Many of Prabowo’s colleagues from a number of countries are confused that this phenomenon could occur in Indonesia.
“I answered that this is Indonesia. So thank you for inviting me, I serve you, I am a witness that you are fighting fully for the nation and people,” said Prabowo, greeted by applause from the audience.
The Minister of Defense, who is also the General Chair of the Gerindra Party, also openly learned a lot from Jokowi, especially in the political field.
“Many say that Prabowo has changed now, how could he not change, he was defeated twice so he was forced to change,” said Prabowo, greeted by laughter from Jokowi and the entire audience.
“So now Mr Jokowi, when I go around I also give out t-shirts. Thank you once again sir, your example of statesmanship, I learned a lot from you,” he continued.
Furthermore, Prabowo said that what he experienced with Jokowi was a lesson for the entire community. If he wins the 2024 presidential election with Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Prabowo promises to invite all elements to work together to develop Indonesia.
