Solo Mayor and PDIP cadre Gibran Rakabuming Raka admitted that he was not surprised by the issue of the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin) duet that had been circulating since yesterday. "I'm not surprised. Are you a tenant? I'm your partner (Is that true? I don't know either)," he said in Solo, Central Java, quoted from Antara, Friday, September 1. He was reluctant to respond to the issue because he felt he had no rights. "Why do I have the opinion, I am not an observer," he said. However, what he knows is that the decline in billboards depicting Anies Baswedan with Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) who was predicted to be paired in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres) has been carried out. "What I follow is Mas Ibas (Edhy Baskoro Yudhoyono, AHY's younger brother, ed.). So on the feed (social media, ed.) I left the Democrats," he said. Whoever is paired, according to him, the most important thing is that the friendship between political figures is going well. "What I know is that everything is still fluid, friendship with each other (going well, ed.)," he said. Meanwhile, Gibran's name is quite widely rumored to be accompanying the General Chairperson of the Gerindra Party Prabowo Subianto in the 2024 presidential election. When asked about the communication made by Gibran with Prabowo after the emergence of the Anies-Cak Imin issue, he said, there was no communication whatsoever.

"No. I'm nobody. The point is I'm relaxed, the others are not relaxed," he said.
