Gerindra Party executive has said that the party isready to welcome Surabaya Mayor Tri Rismaharini if the embattled local headdecides to leave the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P).

Gerindra deputy secretary Aryo Djojohadikusumo said that Risma could be tapped to be the running mate of party chief patron Prabowo Subianto in the presidential election.

'Gerindra offers equal opportunity to all members to possibly become Pak Prabowo's running mate,' Aryo said as quoted by tribunnews.com.

In the past few weeks, Risma has made headlines due to her public feud with her deputy, Wisnu Sakti Buana.

Risma's squabble with Wisnu originated from her questioning the legitimacy of his appointment.
