TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - State-owned Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan has revealed the reason behind his running for president through the Democratic Party’s presidential convention.
“I’m picking up my destiny,” the minister said at the presidential office on Tuesday, September 10, 2013. He fell silent and thought for several seconds before giving his answer.
Dahlan said he had yet to prepare the funds to join the presidential primary, adding that he wanted to cultivate low-cost politics. “I don’t think I need to prepare any fund yet for the convention,” the minister said.
Aside from Dahlan, other politicians joining the Democratic Presidential primary included Anies Baswedan, Gita Wirjawan, Pramono Edhie Wibowo, Endriartono Sutarto, Marzuki Alie, Ali Masykur Musa, and Irman Gusman.
