The results of the People's Consultative Assembly (Musra) to determine the presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election by volunteers are officially handed over to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) at Istora Senayan, Jakarta.

There are three names of presidential candidates that were handed over to Jokowi. First, the Governor of Central Java Ganjar Pranowo, Minister of Defense Prabowo Subianto, and Minister of the Economy Airlangga Hartato. The three names were obtained from Jokowi's volunteer Musra which was held in 30 provinces.

The results of the prayer were handed over to Jokowi by the Chairperson of the Musra Panel Barus Committee accompanied by the Person in Charge of Musra Budi Arie, and the Steering Committee of Musra Andi Gani.

During the handover of the name, Ganjar's name was shouted at by many volunteers who were present at the location. The moment occurred when the results of Musra were handed over to Jokowi.

In his speech, Jokowi appreciated Musra, which was organized by volunteers. He sees Musra as

"I really appreciate it, I really appreciate this effort. I know you want to, want to care for democracy at the grassroots. We want to care for democracy at the grassroots, not at the elite but at the grassroots," said Jokowi, Sunday, May 14.

Furthermore, Jokowi emphasized that Indonesia needs a leader who is close to the people and brave for the benefit of the people.

"This country is a big country. This nation has a large population of 288 million or more. This is a big country of the great nation. And our people, the Indonesian people need the right leader, who is close to the people. Those who understand the hearts of the people, those who know the needs of the people, who want to work hard for the people. That's what it takes, "said Jokowi.

Jokowi also said Indonesia needed a leader who dared to defend the interests of the people and the nation.

And brave who are brave, brave for the sake of the people. People need a leader who understands, who understands how to advance this country. Because the leader must understand and know what the country's potential and strength are, he must understand he must know," he added

In the middle of the speech, the president's screams were also heard again.

Some time ago, Andi Gani had said that Ganjar received the most votes in Jokowi's volunteer Musra which was held in 30 provinces in Indonesia.

"The names that are in the top three are Ganjar Pranowo, Prabowo Subianto, and Airlangga," he said in a written statement.

"Yes, according to the first rank, Mr. Ganjar Pranowo," he added.

Regarding the results, Andi did not rule out the possibility of Jokowi volunteers choosing a presidential candidate according to the results of Musra.

"Most of Jokowi's volunteers have decided to support Pak Ganjar, although there are also those who support Prabowo and others. But most of them have gone to Pak Ganjar," said Andi.

It is known that Ganjar has been officially designated as a candidate for the PDI-P presidential candidate some time ago.

The results of a number of surveys currently place Ganjar as a potential presidential candidate who has the potential to win the 2024 presidential election.

Ganjar is also a figure who has the characteristics of a presidential candidate who is supported by Jokowi. Some time ago, Jokowi said that the presidential candidate he would support had white hair.
