Jakarta – Great Indonesian Movement (Gerindra) Party patron and former vice presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto says he is ready to run for president in 2014.
"Yes, that's right. I want to be president. But, I need the full support of the House of Representatives. I don't want to get rich or popular by becoming president, I just want to dedicate myself to developing this country," Prabowo said on Saturday, as quoted by tribunenews.com.
Gerindra was established to enact change, which requires power, Prabowo said. "The power will come if people give us a mandate through a democratic election," he said.
Gerindra is currently creating a 10-party coalition to run in the 2014 elections.
