Mahfud MD: I Will Resign as Minister at the Right Moment
Mahfud will step down to prevent conflicts of interest.
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Vice presidential candidate No. 3, Mahfud MD said that he will resign from the position of Coordinating Minister of Politics, Law, and Security (Menko Polhukam) on the right momentum.
His consideration is to prevent potential conflicts of interest between him as a state official and a contestant in the 2024 presidential election (presidential election).
In addition, he wants to give an example to ministers or regional heads who advance as vice president and vice president, so as not to use their posts for matters of an electoral nature. Although not named, it is known that Prabowo Subianto is the Minister of Defense (Menhan) and his running mate Gibran Rakabuming Raka is the Mayor of Solo.
“I mean this to be emulated by others, if you become a presidential candidate, become a vice presidential candidate, do not want to be picked up by regional officials, do not want to be escorted,” Mahfud said in a live broadcast on Tuesday (23/1/2024) evening.
In addition, he also highlighted the ministers in the Advanced Indonesian Cabinet who 'follow' into the successful team of certain candidates. Although Mahfud again did not mention his name,
“Therefore, I think my pilot is enough, just wait for momentum, because there is something of a state duty that I have to take care of,” he said.
He himself claimed to have discussed with Ganjar Pranowo regarding his position as Menkopolhukam in the Cabinet of Indonesia Maju. On the right momentum, he claimed he would resign the post.
“I have agreed to do that in due course,” Mahfud said.
