JAKARTA - The PDI-P (PDIP) presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo did not talk much when asked about Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka who was paired with a presidential candidate from the Prabowo Subianto Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM). He only smiled when asked for a response to the political dynamics that occurred in the middle of the 2024 presidential election. It is known that Gibran, who is a PDIP cadre, was announced as Prabowo's companion who was supported by eight parties, including the Gerindra Party, Golkar Party, National Mandate Party (PAN), Democratic Party to PRIMA. "Greetings (to Gibran, red)” said Ganjar briefly, smiling at reporters in the Blok M area, South Jakarta, Monday, October 23. Meanwhile, when asked about Gibran's status, who was instructed to become a campaign interpreter by PDIP, Ganjar did not know anything. For information, PDIP instructed its young cadres who became regional heads to become campaigners for the Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD pair. These instructions were addressed to Gibran and Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution. "I don't know yet," he said. Previously reported, Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD has officially registered as a candidate pair for president and vice president in the 2024 presidential election. They submitted the registration file and completeness to the General Election Commission (KPU) last week.

Meanwhile, Gibran was just announced as a vice presidential candidate for Prabowo Subianto last night, Sunday, October 22. Prabowo's announcement was delivered directly by Prabowo accompanied by the general chairman of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM). The couple will only register on Wednesday, October 25. Gibran did not participate at the announcement but he will attend the moment of registration.
