Ganjar Regarding Jokowi Wants To Meet Megawati: Wong Usually The Two Of Them Used To Be Meet

JAKARTA - Presidential Candidate number three, Ganjar Pranowo spoke about the discourse of a meeting between President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri. He said, there would be no problem with this if it happened.

Recently, news emerged that President Jokowi asked to meet Megawati. This meeting was crowded after the relationship between the two reportedly stretched after Gibran Rakabuming Raka ran with Prabowo Subianto.

"Yo, it doesn't matter. It's just him alone. Wong usually meets the two of them together, really," said Ganjar to reporters in Lampung, Monday, January 22.

Even so, Ganjar said the information had never been heard directly.

"I just read it in the media, on social media," said the former Governor of Central Java.

"It's only certain between them, they can communicate between them and each of them has their own time. The way to communicate is both busy," continued Ganjar.

Meanwhile, Presidential Special Staff Coordinator Ari Dwipayana said it was not true that President Jokowi's request met with Megawati. He denied the news circulating.

"Regarding the narrative developed as if there was a request from the President to meet (Megawati) let alone be related to the 2024 General Election, that is absolutely not true," said Ari Dwipayana in a statement to reporters in Jakarta, Monday.

Ari also said PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto also stated the same thing. "It is not true that there was a request for a meeting," he concluded.
