TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Ahmad Muzani, secretary general at the Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party, said the candidate for the chairman of the House of Representatives (DPR) from Gerindra Party would be decided by the chairman of the party’s advisory board, Prabowo Subianto. However, Gerindra has yet to decide on who would be chosen as the House chairman candidate.
"All [candidate] will be decided by the chairman of advisory board," Muzani told Tempo yesterday.
To date, Muzani said, Prabowo has yet to discuss any candidate to be promoted as the House chairman. Muzani believes Prabowo would make the decision at the right time.
Earllier, Edhy Prabowo, Deputy Chairman of Gerindra, said there were two strong candidates to be promoted by the party: Fadli Zon and Ahmad Muzani.
"Both of them are capable [to be the House chairman] because they are experienced in managing Gerindra," Edhy said Wednesday.
