Head of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) Budi Gunawan said the president's aura had partially moved from President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto. This statement was made when Budi spoke on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Papua Youth Creative Hub (PYCH) and the launch of creative products in Jayapura, Papua. Initially, he mentioned Prabowo often accompanied President Jokowi at various events. "We have all observed lately that Pak Prabowo has often traveled with Pak Jokowi. Several times Pak Prabowo has also stated that Pak Jokowi is his teacher. His teacher," Budi said in a video quoted on Tuesday, March 21. When delivering this, Budi received a lively welcome. Meanwhile, President Jokowi and Prabowo who were present at the event seemed to pay attention. Furthermore, Budi said that in the end the public could see how close Jokowi and Prabowo were at the event. "Everyone began to see that there was an aura, some of Pak Jokowi's aura moved to Pak Prabowo," he said to the public applause. Hearing this statement, Prabowo gave a respectful gesture while putting his two hands on his chest and looking down at President Jokowi who was beside him. Meanwhile, Jokowi just laughed. Budi then prayed that Prabowo would stay healthy so that the former Danjen Kopassus would be successful in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. "We all pray for Pak Prabowo," he said. "Hopefully it will be healthy, smooth, and successful in the 2024 election contest," continued Budi. Regarding this statement, political observer Ujang Komarudin assessed that Prabowo had found a clear way to run in the 2024 presidential election. He is considered to have had a lot of support. In fact, the Head of BIN, Budi Gunawan, has clearly stated this. "This is a positive thing, yes, there is a lot of support for Pak Prabowo," he said. "Moreover, BG, the Head of BIN, knows for himself that the Head of BIN is an influential person in Indonesia and is very close to Jokowi, it could be in the future that BG convinces Mrs. Megawati (PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri) to support Prabowo," continued Ujang. If later Megawati can be easily convinced to support Prabowo, then it is believed that the Minister of Defense will win the presidential election. "That's part of Prabowo's sustenance has the support of many parties," concluded the observer.
