JAKARTA - Political expert Panji Suminar assesses that Prabowo Subianto will elect the Mayor (Walkot) of Solo Gibran Rakabuming Raka as his assistant vice presidential candidate if the presidential-cawapres age requirement lawsuit is granted by the Constitutional Court (MK). "If the Constitutional Court immediately grants it, I believe Prabowo will choose Gibran, although it is not necessarily a win because Gibran's electability is still zero kilometers for the presidential election," said Panji in Bengkulu, Sunday, August 13, was confiscated by Antara. However, Prabowo considered, said Panji, namely electability and strong support for sympathizers and the community towards Jokowi's figure. "Therefore, Prabowo will choose Gibran or Iriana Jokowi, because he knows Jokowi's loyalist is still a lot. So Prabowo hopes to get an endorsement from Jokowi, one way is by cooperating with Gibran," said the Bengkulu University academic. However, the effort was only realized if the Constitutional Court immediately granted the minimum requirements for vice presidential and vice presidential candidates to be 35 years. "If the Constitutional Court decides, the terms of life return to lawmakers will be difficult. If the government and the DPR agrees, it will be easy to change the law, but what might the government recommend that later will lead to public opinion, the president will smooth the steps of the child, "said Panji.

Then, Panji is also not sure that PDIP in the DPR will agree to this, because of course Ganjar's vote in the presidential election if Gibran becomes a vice presidential candidate for Prabowo Subianto's pair. "This means that Jokowi's endorsement is fully obtained by Prabowo, no longer going to Ganjar if Gibran becomes paired with Prabowo. So, whether PDIP will approve something like that. Therefore, Gibran can run as vice presidential candidate if the Constitutional Court decides directly, it will not give up amendments to lawmakers," he said.
