Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka commented on the closeness of the two presidential candidates (candidates), Ganjar Pranowo and Prabowo Subianto while accompanying President Jokowi's working visit to Pekalongan Regency, Central Java.

"Good. Yes, it should be like that, cool. Don't rush," he said when asked about his opinion by the media crew at Solo City Hall, last Wednesday.

Although it had collapsed if this familiarity occurred at this time, Gibran hoped that this familiarity could continue even though the two had to face off as opponents in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

"Now it's in harmony, yes, it keeps getting along as much as possible. It's cool," he said.

However, when asked whether this was a signal that both could be paired as presidential and vice presidential candidates, President Jokowi's eldest son refused to respond.

"Ojo (don't) be discussed on that one," he answered briefly.

On the other hand, regarding the support of volunteers, Selvi Ananda's husband reiterated that Gibran volunteers and Jokowi volunteers still consistently support two of the three presidential reading names that have emerged, namely Ganjar Pranowo and Prabowo Subianto.

"There are still two names. Later it will also be narrowed to one name," said Gibran.

He was again reluctant to respond when asked about his name which was predicted to be the vice president of both of them.

"Wis to ojo discussed kui meneh (Don't discuss it again)," he concluded.

As is known, a number of moments of familiarity between two presidential readings Ganjar Pranowo and Prabowo Subianto were caught on camera several times when the two accompanied President Jokowi during a working visit to Pekalongan Regency, Tuesday, August 29.

The first moment when the two accompanied President Jokowi to open the World Sufi Congress in Pekalongan at the Sahid Hotel Mandarin Pekalongan. In one moment, Ganjar was recorded holding Prabowo's hand when the two of them got off the stage.

The second moment when the two accompanied President Jokowi blusukan at Grogolan Market, Pekalongan after opening the World Sufi Congress. Every now and then Prabowo seemed to pat Ganjar's shoulder.

The moment became even more interesting as President Jokowi approached the two of them. While pointing at Ganjar and Prabowo, it made residents hysterical and applauded.
