Prabowo Has No Plan Yet to Meet Jokowi`s Envoy

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Prabowo - Sandi campaign team affirmed there was no meeting agenda between presidential hopeful number 02 with Jokowi's representative, Luhut Binsar Panjaitan.

“No agenda that Prabowo will meet Luhut. Prabowo’s schedule today (Sunday) is only an internal meeting,” said the campaign team spokesman Andre Rosiade in Jakarta, Sunday, April 21.

According to him, the Gerindra chairman would only monitor the development on C1 Form considering the vote count was still progressing throughout the country’s sub-district. Andre demanded all parties be patient and refrain from giving provoking statements.

Earlier, the team’s director of media and communication, Hashim Djojohadikusumo, who is also Prabowo’s brother, said that the candidate number 02 would welcome Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan as Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s representative on Sunday at his residence on Jalan Kertanegara VI, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.

Andre clarified that Prabowo has yet confirmed the meeting plan with Luhut. “Hashim heard information that the rival's party would send Luhut to meet Prabowo. But, Prabowo hasn’t said yes, accepted the plan. As I know until this morning, I’m informed there is no schedule for that,” he said.

The campaign team coordinator spokesperson, Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak, shared the same statement via his Twitter account @Dahnilanzar on Saturday, April 20. Prabowo Subianto, he asserted, has yet decided to accept Luhut’s planned visit as the latter was still focusing on guarding the people’s votes.
