BOGOR - Secretary General of the Gerindra Party Ahmad Muzani assessed that President Joko Widodo gave a "hard code" when he appeared to be familiar with Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto and Indonesian sixth President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in the Senja Parade at the Ministry of Defense building, Jakarta.

Muzani said that the familiar moment was a strong signal from Jokowi regarding his support in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).

"I interpret it as part of a strong signal or a hard code from Pak Jokowi to Pak Prabowo in the 2024 presidential election. Even though it (Parade Senja) is a series of TNI's birthday activities," said Muzani as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, October 10.

According to him, President Jokowi's presence became very important in the series of activities of the TNI's 78th Anniversary.

"Yes, last night it was a Senja Parade event, part of the activity process in the context of the TNI Anniversary. So that his presence I think is something very important," he said.

Jokowi and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono attended the Senja Parade, accompanied by Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto at the State Defense Field, Ministry of Defense, Central Jakarta, Monday (9/10).
