Budiarti Utami Putri, Jakarta – Member of the Gerindra central board (DPP) Habiburokhman said that presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto will not change his image by undergoing a makeover to gain millennials' vote.

"We will not make Prabowo dress like a younger person," said Habiburokhman on Wednesday, August 22.

Gerindra Chairman Prabowo Subianto is set to partner with Sandiaga Uno in the 2019 presidential election. The pair will be facing the incumbent candidate Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo who will be accompanied by Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) Chairman Ma'ruf Amin.

Pollster Lingkaran Survei Indonesia (LSI) Denny JA previously mentioned that Prabowo-Sandiaga's electability is still behind the Jokowi-Ma'ruf's, as based on a poll conducted on August 12-19 that saw the pair score 31.8 percent compared to the incumbent's 50.8 percent.

However, Habiburokhman is optimistic that Prabowo-Sandiaga will be able to grab millennial's votes since he thinks that his team does not only issue rhetoric to gain support.

"Winning the support [of millenials] is not just by wearing sneaker shoes, jackets and jeans, or ride a big bike. That is not it," said Habiburokhman.

He said that the current government has failed to overcome the issue of employment among the young generation and that Prabowo-Sandiaga offers solutions on such issues.
