TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Jokowi – Ma’ruf Amin campaign team (TKN) denies the rumor assuming incumbent presidential candidate Joko “Jokowi” Widodo hired United States-based political consultant Stanley Greenberg.
This was initially issued by the Prabowo – Sandiaga Uno campaign team spokesman Andre Rosiade.
Responding to the rumor, TKN Deputy Chief Abdul Kadir Karding testifies that he never saw Jokowi use the services of a foreign political consultant, let alone someone from the United States.

“I guess this is a false narrative that is being built,” said Karding when Tempo reached him on Wednesday, February 6.
Karding argues that this issue is being highlighted by the Prabowo camp as a diversion to another rumor of Prabowo Subianto hiring the political expertise of a foreign expert that was mentioned by Jokowi.
“What Jokowi mentioned by might have hit them hard that made them sought a diversion,” said Karding.
