Gibran's Reaction To The Vice President's Lunch With The Vice President On Wednesday Tomorrow

The Mayor of Solo who will also be vice presidential candidate, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, admitted that he did not know the agenda for the meeting of the vice presidential candidate (cawapres) with Vice President (Vice President) Ma'ruf Amin, Wednesday, November 1.

Gibran himself admitted that he did not know President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) along with three presidential candidates, namely Ganjar Pranowo, Prabowo Subianto, and Anies Baswedan at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta last Monday.

"I don't see it, I don't know. I haven't seen TV all day, so I don't know (President Jokowi has lunch with three candidates)," said Gibran.

The eldest son of President Jokowi also admitted that Prabowo Subianto had not been informed about the meeting. "No, I don't know," said Gibran.

For this reason, Gibran said that he did not know at all the material discussed by the four figures during a joint lunch.

"What is being discussed? Yes, I don't know, I'm not there, huh. (Bocoran from Prabowo) I don't know," he said.

Gibran also admitted that he did not know about Vice President Ma'ruf Amin's plan to invite three prospective vice presidential candidates, including himself. Gibran admitted that he had not received an invitation from Vice President Ma'ruf Amin regarding the plan. Gibran said that there were actually a number of ministers who would attend in Solo.

"I don't know. Tomorrow (Wednesday)? Tomorrow there won't be any. There is no invitation (from the Vice President) this week either. Tomorrow as far as I know, there are even three ministers in Solo Technopark (STP)," said Gibran while getting into his official car AD 1 A.

Previously, Vice President Ma'ruf Amin was rumored to be meeting with prospective vice presidential candidates for the 2024 presidential election. The plan was conveyed by the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo after attending lunch with President Jokowi and the presidential candidates at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, last Monday.

"If I'm not mistaken, tomorrow there will be an invitation that the vice presidential candidate will meet with the vice president," said Ganjar as quoted by Antara.

Ganjar admitted that he had confirmed through communication with the Vice Presidential Palace regarding the plan to meet Ma'ruf Amin with Gibran, Mahfud MD, and Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin.

However, Ganjar has not been able to confirm the time from the Ma'ruf Amin meeting with the three prospective vice presidential candidates.

"Later, let it be arranged. Yesterday I tried to communicate," he said.

Reportedly, President Jokowi had lunch with three presidential candidates, namely Ganjar Pranowo, Prabowo Subianto, and Anies Baswedan for lunch together at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta. During the meeting, the three admitted that they did not discuss heavy topics, but discussed President Jokowi's neutrality.

The lunch and meeting between President Jokowi and the three presidential candidates lasts for approximately an hour. Media crews are only allowed to take pictures at the beginning of the meeting. Lunch is then continued behind closed doors.
