P
resident Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has said there was no doubt about the partnership between Gerindra Party presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto and Hatta Rajasa from the National Mandate Party (PAN).
"Prabowo firmly stated his commitment to seek the presidency with Hatta the other day," he said on Friday, as reported by tempo.co.
Yudhoyono said he learned of the partnership when Prabowo
accompanied the former coordinating economic minister Hatta to meet the President at the State Palace on May 13. During their meeting, Yudhoyono accepted Hatta's resignation on the basis he would become a candidate for vice president.
"I accepted his resignation. I hope he has a good career ahead of him," Yudhoyono said.
Up until now, the Gerindra Party has yet to officially declare Prabowo's running mate in the 2014 presidential election. (fss)
