Greetings From Gibran Like Jokowi, Serial Number One In The Solo Pilkada

JAKARTA - The candidate pair for mayor-vice mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka-Teguh Prakosa, received serial number 1 in the Solo Pilkada. Meanwhile, the independent candidate Bagyo Wahyono-FX Suparjo (Bajo) received serial number 2.

"All numbers are good," Gibran uploaded in 3 posts on the Instagram account gibran_rakabuming, Thursday, September 24.

Gibran said that he and Teguh were grateful to get serial number 1 in the Surakarta Pilkada. The son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said numbers 1 and 2 were equally good.

Meanwhile, Bagyo interpreted serial number 2 as victory. He is optimistic about winning the votes of the Solo people in the 2020 voting.

"Bajo must win and win," said Bagyo as quoted by Antara.

Gibran-Teguh supported by the PDI Perjuangan which has 30 seats in the Solo DPRD. Meanwhile, the Bajo pair who ran as individual candidates brought 38,831 support from Solo residents.

Joko Widodo, Gibran's father, once used a thumbs-up when he was running for the 2019 presidential election. Together with his partner at the time, Ma'ruf Amin, the thumbs up was introduced on October 28, 2018 in Surabaya.

PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto at that time explained that the thumb was defined as a quick move to make decisions. Thumbs can also be interpreted as the number one for advanced Indonesia.

"This greeting is full of brotherly touches, as the main element to win, where there are political parties and volunteers who are united, all are fighting for good," said Hasto, quoted by Antara.

This greeting also describes the narrative of kindness, polite politics, politics without lies outlined by Jokowi.
