Jokowi on Cak Imin Claiming Promised Minister of Defense Seat: There is No Allocation Like That

"Dream - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) responded to Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar's (Cak Imin) statement claiming that he was promised the position of Minister of Defense. Jokowi denies ever promising the position of Minister of Defense to the Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB)."

Deny the Promise of the Minister of Defense Seat to Cak Imin

Jokowi emphasizes that the appointment of ministers is the prerogative right of the president. He denies any allocation for those ministerial seats.

"The appointment of ministers is the prerogative of the president, there is no allocation like that, there is none,""
The translation of the given text is: "words from Jokowi on the page of Istana Merdeka, Central Jakarta, Monday, December 4, 2023, quoted from Merdeka.com."

"Previously, Cak Imin had revealed that the position of Minister of Defense (Menhan) in the Indonesian Maju Cabinet was initially promised to him, not to Prabowo Subianto. Cak Imin made this statement in response to the Deputy Chairman of PAN, Yandri Susanto, questioning the narrative of change brought by PKB and its coalition in the 2024 Presidential Election."

"This PAN has supported Prabowo in two elections, and he wants to fail for the third time. In 2014, PAN supported Prabowo, and in 2019, PAN supported Prabowo. As for me, I supported Jokowi in 2014, and I supported Jokowi in 2019. Yes, I have actually been guarding Jokowi from the beginning.""
Cak Imin said to reporters at the Indonesia Millennial and Gen-Z Summit.

In addition, Cak Imin also mentioned about PAN, which is a party that did not support President Jokowi in the 2014 and 2019 Presidential Elections. He compared it to PKB, which has been together and supported Jokowi from the beginning. However, PAN actually gained a position in the government despite never supporting Jokowi. Including Prabowo Subianto, who was initially an opponent, but ended up getting the position of Minister of Defense that was previously promised to Cak Imin.

"Suddenly, he (PAN) joined Jokowi's coalition, got one minister, not bad, without any rain, without any wind. I just want to convey, including Mr. Prabowo, suddenly became a minister, originally I was actually the Minister of Defense, that was the promise,""
kata Cak Imin.

Therefore, the Vice Presidential candidate Anies Baswedan's pair referred to the current coalition as neither inside nor outside the government, because it is developing so fluidly.

"So this coalition is a coalition that cannot be called within the government or outside the government, this coalition is a coalition that indeed evolves, flexible, very fluid,"
"ujarnya." translates to "he/she said."
