"To become an advisor is certain, as we can express our views," Kalla remarked at the Jakarta Corruption Court here on Monday.
Earlier on Sunday, Secretary General of the National Democrat (Nasdem) Party Jhonny G. Plate noted that Kalla had agreed to be part of the campaign team by holding the position of the board of advisors that will be filled by fairly senior public figures.
However, Kalla said he has yet to receive an official invitation regarding his participation in the campaign team.
"I have heard about it, but I have not received any official invitation," Kalla stated.
He has also not revealed what views he would convey as a strategy in Jokowi-Ma`ruf pair`s campaign team.
Jokowi, on Sunday, had met with secretary generals of nine political parties, which support the Jokowi-Ma`ruf Pair, at 19 Jalan Cemara, Central Jakarta.
The campaign team comprised Golkar Secretary General Loedwijck Freidrich Paulus, PPP Secretary General Arsul Sani, Nasdem Secretary General Jhonny G. Plate, PKB Secretary General Abdul Kadir Karding, Hanura Secretary General Harry Lontung Siregar, and PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto.
The deputy secretary general of the campaign team were PSI Secretary General Raja Juli Antoni, Perindo Secretary General Ahmad Rofiq, and PKPI Secretary General Verry Surya Hendrawan.
However, the campaign team leader has not yet been disclosed to the public.
"The name of head of the campaign team is still withheld by Joko Widodo," Hasto added.
