Jakarta –
Presidential candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto said he was the one who chose Gibran Rakabuming Raka as vice presidential candidate. He emphasized that there were no dynasties.
“I chose. I asked. I chose,” said Prabowo on the SICC stage, Bogor, West Java, Sunday (10/12/2023).
He emphasized that there was no dynasty in selecting Gibran as vice presidential candidate. For him, there was nothing wrong if the dynasty was a red and white dynasty.

“There are no dynasties. If it’s a red and white dynasty, what’s wrong with it? If it’s a patriotic dynasty, what’s wrong with it?” he said.
“If families give their children to the republic, what’s wrong with that?” he continued.
Prabowo said we should say thank you to the families who have given their children to the republic. He invited all parties to be grateful.
“We must be grateful. We must be grateful to the families who gave their children to this republic,” he said.
He then compared Gibran with himself when he was young. Prabowo admitted that he was often linked to his parent Soemitro Djojohadikoesoemo, who was then Minister of Finance during President Soeharto’s leadership. Prabowo is also often linked to Suharto, who is also his father-in-law.
“I was also always called the youngest. The youngest company commander, the youngest battalion commander, the youngest general. And I was always linked. Oh, he is Mr. Soemitro’s son. Because his son-in-law is Mr. Harto,” he said.
Even though they are often linked, Prabowo still respects his parents. He also advised Gibran not to hesitate.
“If I climb a mountain carrying a backpack, where is Mr. Mitro? Where is Mr. Harto? That’s fine. But we respect it. We are grateful to our parents. Mas Gibran, don’t hesitate, Mas Gibran. You must be proud of your parents,” he said. .
