JAKARTA - Senior PDI-P politician Panda Nababan assessed that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto's closeness was just a talk.
"Iya (Jokowi dekat dengan Prabowo) bala-basi, bahagia-jaralah. 'Kan membuat orang bahagia ada kebijalan, ya, kan? OK," kata Panda dilansir ANTARA, Kamis, 22 Juni.
Panda explained the closeness of Jokowi and Prabowo like superiors and subordinates. Therefore, he considers it natural that they often show closeness in public.
"Earlier, Pak Jokowi said with Prabowo and all kinds of things, that's the beauty of the game," he said.
According to him, Jokowi will not play two legs in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).
Panda emphasized that Jokowi would remain upright in accordance with the direction of the party bearing the white-nosed bull logo.
The PDI-P emphasized that Panda carried Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate (candidate) in the 2024 presidential election.
Thus, he believes that the number one person in Indonesia is very supportive of Ganjar.
"What I believe is that there is not a millimeter, Jokowi is not pro Ganjar," he said.
Ganjar, he said, is a product of Jokowi as well. The reason is, in the PDI-P as well as PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri is a party product.
"On the basis of that belief, I believe Jokowi did not betray, did not have a second thought," added Panda.

On the other hand, Panda also denied the news related to Jokowi who did not support Ganjar because it was limited to party officials.
Meanwhile, Prabowo Subianto is the General Chair of the Gerindra Party.
"I heard it's a pity, he doesn't understand what the party is," he added.
In fact, Panda continued, the party officer means that the officers who carried out the congressional decisions, regional conference decisions, and carried out the PDI-P's Articles of Association and Bylaws (AD/ART). However, the party officials' diction is now in a negative connotation.
"I was in Medan for 8 years as Chairman of the DPD, I am indeed a party official. Mega is also proud to be a party official," he concluded.
