"On this occasion, I would like to inform that from now on, I will be assisted by @Dahnilanzar as official spokesman of the Chairman of the Advisory Board/General Chairman of Gerindra Party," Subianto wrote on his official Twitter account, @Prabowo, on Sunday evening.
Simanjuntak was earlier coordinator of the national campaign team for the then presidential candidate Subianto and his running mate Sandiaga Uno for the 2019 presidential election.
Hence, statements conveyed to the public by Simanjuntak constitute the views and opinions of Subianto.
Subianto noted that any discussion or questions that he had yet to address or respond to on his social media accounts and personal fan page could be directed straight to Simanjuntak.
Born in Aceh Tamiang District, Aceh Province, on April 10, 1982, Simanjuntak is a lecturer, economist, politician, public policy observer, and businessman.
He was chairman of the youth wing of Muhammadiyah, Indonesia's second-largest Muslim organization. He was also president of the Religion of Peace in Asia and the Pacific Interfaith Youth Network (RfP-APIYN) for the 2014-2019 period.
