JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – An executive of Gerindra Party, a political party led by presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto, openly expressed his support to Prabowo’s opponent Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, a presidential candidate from PDI-P.
Muhammad Harris Indra, Head of Gerindra’s Defense Department, said he opts to support Jokowi as he views the Jakarta Governor is better than Prabowo.
“I was one of the co-founders of Gerindra Party (in 2008). I have sent a Short Message Service (SMS) to my party’s colleagues. I told them openly that I support Jokowi,” said Harris on Wednesday (June 4).
“My decision makes sense. A rational decision.. Politics is a choice and any choice has its consequences. I’m ready to take that consequences,” Harris added.
Gerindra Chairman Suhadi said Harris should resign from Gerindra if he opted to vote for Jokowi. (haryantos@yosefardi.biz)
