In publications In fact, there are three male figures, namely Erick, Sandiaga and Lutfi, who were still young at the time. It is unclear what year this photo was taken.
Actually, they are five original photos, it’s just that Erick only shows two figures of his friends who are also ministers, so one more friend is removed from the photo. Erick and Sandi are not really a secret that the two have been friends since childhood.
So these three friends, as of Wednesday (12/23), following the inauguration of Sandiaga and Lutfi, both will serve as assistants to the president in their respective positions.
Sandiaga was previously appointed Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta in October 2017, so he had only served for about 10 months.
He accompanied Anies Baswedan to winning the DKI Pilgub 2017 in the second round by defeating current partner Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) -Djarot Saiful Hidayat.
During the 2019 presidential election contest, he resigned as lieutenant governor after 10 months in office. He stepped forward to join Prabowo Subianto as the 2019 vice presidential candidate. He also chose to step down as lieutenant governor.
Meanwhile, Lutfi, has been appointed several times to important positions, including that of president of commerce (February 14 and then October 20, 2014) previous.
The husband of former model Bianca Adinegoro last served as Indonesian ambassador to the United States. Lutfi has a long professional career. The man who was born in 1969 to the couple Firdaus Wadjdi and Suhartini began his career as an entrepreneur.
He and some of his colleagues, namely Erick; Wishnu Wardhana; and Harry Zulnardy, took the initiative to establish the Mahaka Group.
