Gibran Rakabuming is confirmed to join the Golkar Party. Gibran is indeed rumored to be attending the Golkar Rapimnas on Saturday, October 21, which will also determine the sosol cawapres accompanying Prabowo.

Gibran's assurance that PDIP cadres moved to Golkar was conveyed by a VOI source. Gibran since last weekend has been widely rumored to have joined the party led by Airlangga Hartarto as a nomination step for vice president in the 2024 presidential election.

Golkar politician Maman Abdurrahman previously separately answered diplomatically about the news of Prabowo-Gibran's presence.

"Just take it easy, see tomorrow," said Maman.

Meanwhile, the strengthening of Gibran's name to become a vice presidential candidate began to fill the digital space. Deputy General Chairperson (Waketum) of the Gelora Party Fahri Hamzah uploaded a photo of Prabowo Subianto's candidate for president (candidate) juxtaposed with Surakarta Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

In his upload, Fahri also reminded that the current term of service of the head of state ends in another year.

"Today, October 20, 2024. Exactly a year away, Pak Jokowi and Kyai Ma'ruf will end and the new President/Vice President will be sworn in," Fahri said on the X account, @Fahrihamzah, Friday, October 20.

Fahri's upload on social media ahead of the meeting of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) discussed the prospective vice presidential candidate (cawapres) accompanying Prabowo.

Fahri also prayed that the presidential candidate he supported, Prabowo, together with Gibran, would be elected as the nation's leader to replace Joko Widodo-Ma'ruf Amin.

"We pray for an easy path for Pak Prabowo and Mas Gibran to be sworn in in exactly a year. For a strong, strong, strong Indonesia. Towards the new #Superpower!," he said.

Prabowo Subianto already has the name of the vice presidential candidate who will accompany him in the 2024 presidential election. But the Forward Indonesia Coalition (KIM) has not yet met an agreement, the discussion will continue tomorrow.

"So actually what the parties (KIM) agreed on is already in Pak Prabowo's pocket. Now we'll see, of course, the political developments will be fast, we'll discuss it later. Earlier, because we didn't meet again, it will be continued tomorrow afternoon," said PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan at his residence, Friday, October 20.

KIM said Zulhas emphasized that previously he had proposed the names of the vice presidents. But the determination for the announcement of the vice presidents will still be discussed.

"Panulasikan A, si B usulkan ini ya, sebenarnya sudah ada namanya sebagian besar sejumlah menyetujukan. Kalau usulan saya misalnya si objectan usulan B, ada yang keberatan itu Pak Prabowo sudah tahu sebagain besar, karena tertutup waktu itu," sambungnya.
