Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Secretary General of the PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto said that Gibran Rakabuming Raka will soon join the Golkar Party.
He admitted that he had received a telephone call from the General Chair of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto.
“I have also received a call from the Chairman of Golkar. At that time Mr. Airlangga (said) that Mas Gibran was ‘yellowed’, ‘golkarized’. So automatically Mas Gibran because he became vice presidential candidate, Mas Gibran is no longer part of the PDIP,” said Hasto. quoted from Detik.com, Sunday (5/11/2023).
Hasto also touched on the moment when Gibran said goodbye to the Chair of the PDIP DPP, Puan Maharani. According to Hasto, this moment indicated that Gibran was no longer part of PDIP.
He also denied that his party had difficulty firing Gibran. However, he mentioned that there were political ethics that Gibran had to follow after being judged to have defected from the party’s directions.
Calls for Gibran to resign and return the PDIP KTA are currently emerging. This is the impact of Gibran accepting the Prabowo Subianto coalition’s proposal to run as vice presidential candidate in the upcoming 2024 elections.
Previously, Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said that his eldest son, Gibran raised his voice regarding his son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who is running to become vice presidential candidate (Cawapres) from Indonesian Presidential Candidate (Cawapres) Prabowo Subianto. When asked whether he supports his son or the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo who is being promoted by PDIP during the 2024 elections, Jokowi gave a straight answer.
Although, Jokowi’s answer did not clearly answer the question that was asked by the Chairman of the DPR and Chair of the PDIP DPP, Puan Maharani, regarding support for Ganjar Pranowo.
President Jokowi said he supported everything as long as it was for the good of Indonesia.
“Support everything for the good of this country,” said President Jokowi at the 2023 Santri Day rally in Surabaya, East Java, some time ago.
