President Jokowi to Inaugurate New Ministers Including AHY – Gerindra Welcomes the Decision

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Secretary General (Sekjen) of the Gerindra Party, Ahmad Muzani, admitted that he was surprised to hear the news about the Chairman of the Democratic Party, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), who was widely rumored to be appointed by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) as Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning or Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/ BPN) on Wednesday (21/2/2024) tomorrow.

“It was surprising because we never knew before,” said Muzani when met at the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN) Media Center in South Jakarta, Tuesday (20/2/2024) evening.

Even so, Muzani said that Gerindra would welcome Jokowi’s decision. This is because the Democratic Party is known to be the opposition to the Jokowi government.

“Yes, we welcome President Joko Widodo’s decision to appoint any assistant and from any party,” he said.
