Suara.com – Chairman of the Democratic Party, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) stated that he would respect the decision of presidential candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto if he later accepted parties from outside the coalition to join the cabinet later.
“And for me, when there is an intention to merge or strengthen the coalition, of course as the elected president, Pak Prabowo is the leader of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition. I really respect what he hopes and wants,” said AHY in Newsdelivers.com, Saturday (24/2/2024) .
He said Prabowo always involved party officials in the Advanced Indonesia Coalition in decision making.
“I am also happy that Pak Prabowo always invites us to exchange ideas. He doesn't take something strategic, he conveys what he thinks, the important thing is that we have that space,” he said.
“What I think is that if we have that space, I think we will all feel that our thoughts and aspirations are represented,” continued AHY.
The rest, AHY said, was that they submitted to Prabowo as the presidential candidate.
“We return it to our leader, Pak Prabowo. That should be the ethics in building a coalition by his leader,” he said.
“Of course, if we feel there is a need to build or strengthen a coalition, we will once again hand it over to Pak Prabowo,” he continued.
