JAKARTA - Signs of Gibran Rakabuming Raka running for the presidential election accompanying Prabowo Subianto as a vice presidential candidate are getting clearer. Not only accepting Golkar's 'pingangan' which carried him as a vice presidential candidate, Gibran turned out to be already a political safari, sowan went to the elite political parties of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM).

Gibran at the Golkar DPP while attending Rapimnas admitted that he had communicated with Puan Maharani, the Chair of the PDIP DPP. But regarding his status at PDIP, Gibran did not answer firmly.

"Later," he said.

In Surabaya, Puan agrees with Jokowi's son's 'famit' to contest the 2024 presidential election.

"Last night (Friday, 20/10), (I) met Mas Gibran and Mas Gibran to convey that there is a possibility that he will participate in the presidential election contest (2024)," said Puan.

Dynamic politics, Prabowo said about tapping the hammer of the vice presidential candidate. What is certain is that everything will be resolved in the shortest possible time. The decision of the Golkar National Meeting will be brought to the discussion table of the chairman of the political party of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition.

Only a matter of hours, Prabowo followed by Airlangga close to the Merdeka Palace to meet Jokowi, who had just arrived in Indonesia, Saturday, October 21 after the visit to China-Saudi Arabia. Prabowo-Airlangga met Jokowi after Gibran was 'declared' by Golkar to be Prabowo's vice presidential candidate.

Gibran's movement after flying from Solo to Jakarta on Friday, October 20 afternoon is a signal that the crown prince will collapse into the presidential election arena.

This challenge question was raised by PDIP politician Aria Bima. Gibran will advance if there is no political surprise at the end of the minute is questioned by a party that has raised Jokowi's name from Solo, Jakarta, to the Palace seat. Gibran was fully supported during the Solo Pilkada contestation.

"Yes, as party cadres, as people who are all given to Pak Jokowi and Gibran, what's wrong with PDI? What's wrong with Mrs. Mega, all things have been given. What hasn't been given? Until today, yes, to this day," said Aria Bima.

What is certain is that the Prabowo-Gibran pair is just waiting to be announced. Chairman of the Crescent Star Party (PBB) Yusril Ihza Mahendra said KIM had agreed to pair the two.

"Yes (it's just a matter of time, ed) accompanied by a non-formal meeting," said Yusril when contacted by reporters, Saturday, October 21.

Yusril did not know when the meeting would be held to ratify the Prabowo-Gibran pair.

"I don't know when the meeting will be but of course, the Advanced Indonesia Coalition meeting will soon be to ratify this candidacy," he said
