Secretary General of the Gerindra Party Ahmad Muzani said Gerindra Party chairman Prabowo Subianto missed a visit to the house of PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri due to exhaustion after visiting Solo.

"Pak Prabowo returned from Solo last night. He was exhausted," said Muzani in Jakarta, Sunday, April 23.

Muzani explained that Prabowo usually visits the house of the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia every Eid al-Fitr to stay in touch. "But in Solo it's clear, right, until the afternoon. After meeting with Pak Jokowi, Pak Prabowo was invited to travel around the city of Solo," he said.

Even so, Muzani said Prabowo could stay in touch with Megawati at another time. However, he could not confirm the schedule.

"I will check his schedule, because his schedule is very tight. Politics is possible. His name met with Mrs. Mega, especially the former president, the proclaimer's son, the general chairman of the most senior political party. There is no problem," he said.

Previously, Prabowo and his son, Didit Hediprasetyo, visited the residence of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) on Saturday, April 22 yesterday. In addition to carrying out this tradition, this momentum is used to discuss various things, including related to national defense and security.

The meeting was also attended by Deputy Chairperson of the MPR Ahmad Muzani and Member of the DPR Sugiono. "So there is no discussion that is too political, because this is Eid al-Fitr," Prabowo said in a statement in Surakarta, according to a press release received by Antara in Jakarta, Saturday, April 22.

During the meeting, Prabowo was greeted by President Jokowi's family, including his eldest son who is also the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka. "In Eid, usually the subordinates are sowan or Eid to the leader," he said.

"He is my leader, he is the President, the supreme commander, I am his minister, so I think how many times will I be with him," continued the Minister of Defense (Menhan).

After the conversation, Prabowo was also invited to eat by Jokowi. The conversation at the dining table is also not far from defensive matters.

"This is Eid, we were invited to eat, yes we talked. I also reported that when he was in Europe I was also in Europe. I also met several figures there, I reported developments dealing with our defense and so on," said Prabowo.
