Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto said the meeting between himself and the Mayor of Solo who is also the son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) Gibran Rakabuming Raka will be held in the near future. Chairman of the National Winning Team Ganjar President (TPN GP) Arsjad Rasjid will also participate.

"We will chat with Mas Gibran at the right momentum and soon," Hasto told reporters at the PDIP DPP office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, October 18.

It is known that Gibran should have faced the PDIP DPP office today, Wednesday, October 18. However, the meeting was postponed because the party bearing the white-nosed bull symbol with the party supporting Ganjar Pranowo announced the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD as a vice presidential candidate (cawapres).

Returning to Hasto, he confirmed that the delay had been submitted to Gibran. Personally, they have communicated.

Although he has not specified when the next meeting will take place, he said there will be a number of discussions. One of them, Hasto will ask Gibran's opinion as a young person.

"He is also a qualified figure in his communication skills so that later Mr. Arsjad, Ms. Puan (Chairman of PDIP DPP Puan Maharani) will then speak to Mas Gibran," he said.

Meanwhile, PDIP DPP chairman Puan Maharani said she would also meet Gibran. There are a number of things that will be discussed later, including offering her cadres to join the TPN GP.

"Later, I will ask Mas Gibran, whether he is included in the TPN, Mr. Ganjar and Mr. Mahfud MD," said the chairman of the DPR RI.

Previously, Gibran was waiting for further coordination regarding the certainty of being involved in the Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD National Winning Team (TPN). However, he admitted that he had coordinated with TPNGP Chairman Arsjad Rasjid.

"We will inform you of the findings first," said Gibran in Surakarta City, Central Java, as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, October 18.
