JAKARTA - Ganjar Pranowo chose to wear a shirt with a picture of President Jokowi in response to the PAN and Golkar declarations that were close to Prabowo Subianto.

Ganjar looks relaxed in the declaration of Golkar and PAN to support Prabowo Subianto. Ganjar said, it was a normal thing in the democratic process.

"In the democratic process, it's actually normal. I really respect the attitude of each party. Surely he has made a decision and already has a record of having to close together. So I really respect the decisions taken by whoever they are and wherever they are," said Ganjar when met at his official residence, Puri Gedeh Semarang City, Sunday 13 August.

According to Ganjar, the meeting of Golkar and PAN to Prabowo is normal. Currently, all parties are negotiating to determine their political direction. Ganjar continued, he also continued to establish communication with other parties, both those who have supported and those who have not supported.

"So if there is a party closer to one point, in my opinion it is their political right," he explained.

In addition to wearing Jokowi's clothes, he also said that the current situation was similar during the 2014 election, at that time President Jokowi received quite a lot of opponents because several coalition parties joined Prabowo.

"And this story happened in 2014 if I'm not mistaken. At that time, Jokowi's opponent was the same, they flocked there. And we recorded this incident on the way and there were always changing dynamics," he explained.

Ganjar actually congratulated Golkar and PAN on their decision to join the Gerindra and PKB coalitions. He invited all parties to keep democracy running well.

"Of course the most important thing is how to keep democracy going well and what we have to solve from the problems of this nation and state," he concluded.
