JAKARTA: Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno paid a visit to president-elect Prabowo Subianto at his private residence on the first day of Aidilfitri, a move that could signal the two politicians’ reconciliation after they took divergent paths in the 2024 general election on Feb 14.
Sandiaga ran for vice president alongside Prabowo in the 2019 presidential election, which they lost to President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo and Vice President Ma’ruf Amin. He later shifted his allegiance to the Muslim-based United Development Party (PPP) after parting ways with Prabowo’s Gerindra Party.
