Former PDI-P Politician, Budiman Sudjatmiko, responding to the news that Prabowo Subianto will propose to Gibran Rakabuming Raka as vice presidential candidate. Budiman suggested that Prabowo first ask permission from PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.
Budiman said this in response to journalists’ questions regarding the current news regarding Gibran’s name being widely compared with Prabowo in the 2024 presidential election. According to him, the request for permission to propose to Gibran must be submitted to Megawati. Because, said Budiman, until now Gibran is still registered as a PDI Perjuangan cadre.
“So by regulation, according to regulations of course Mas Gibran in this case means Pak Prabowo, if Pak Prabowo really wants to take Mas Gibran, don’t ask his father but ask his general manager, Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri, I think that’s it,” said Budiman to reporters. at Kartanegara IV, South Jakarta, Tuesday (17/10/2023).
Budiman assessed Prabowo No need for Jokowi’s permission. According to him, Prabowo only consulted Jokowi on this matter.
“I think the closest thing is that Pak Prabowo asked his general chairman, Mas Gibran, namely PDIP, namely Megawati Soekrano Putri. In my opinion, Pak Jokowi was not in a proper position or was not asked, who was asked by his general chairman or deputy secretary general or whatever,” said Budiman.
Furthermore, Budiman admitted that he had suggested to Prabowo about choosing a younger vice presidential candidate. However, he did not explain clearly the younger figure he was referring to.
“I once also told Mr. Prabowo Subianto that considering his senior age, he deserved to be accompanied by someone younger,” said Budiman.
“Whether much younger or half younger, I think I can say that position is Mr Prabowo’s prerogative,” he concluded.
