Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Chairman of the National Campaign Team (TKN) Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Rosan Roeslani, denied Connie Rahakundini Bakrie’s statement that Gibran was designed to be president after two years in office.
Rosan admitted that he had a meeting with Connie in November 2023. However, he admitted that he never said this.
“The two-year statement didn’t come from me, he said, ‘What happens if it’s been two years, or if suddenly Prabowo, I’m an intelligence person, could have Pak Prabowo poisoned, could it have been sooner, what would that be like?’ He said so,” said Rosan at the Prabowo-Gibran Media Center, Jakarta, Sunday (11/2).
“I said, ‘Ma’am, never mind, that’s not appropriate. Never mind, we don’t have thoughts like that, don’t do it’,” he added.
Rosan said Connie asked for the meeting. Connie, he said, intended to join Prabowo-Gibran.
According to him, the statement that Prabowo only served two years actually came from Connie. Rosan admitted that he had never said this.
Rosan added that Connie actually asked for a position at the meeting. He claimed that Connie asked to be made deputy foreign minister or deputy defense minister.
“I said, ‘Ma’am, that’s not my domain, but if you work for Pak Prabowo, maybe there are other options, please convey them to him,'” he said.
Even so, Rosan did not want to take legal action regarding Connie’s statement. He just wanted to explain this to the public.
Previously, Connie admitted that she was invited to join Prabowo-Gibran by Roslan Roeslani. He also touched on Prabowo’s term of office which was only designed for two years.
“This conveyed Mr. Rosan, our former ambassador to America. ‘So the plan is two years. Gibran will follow in the next three years,'” said Connie imitating Rosan in a video clip circulating on social media.
