JAKARTA - Presidential Candidate for the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) Prabowo Subianto has announced Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka as a vice presidential candidate (cawapres) to accompany him to run in the 2024 presidential election overnight. The National Mandate Party (PAN) believes that Gibran's determination as Prabowo's vice presidential candidate will have a significant electoral impact. "It is proven that many volunteers from various circles have declared support. Many expectations have been entrusted to Gibran so that the political interests of young children can be distributed," Chairman of the DPP PAN Saleh Partaonan Daulay, told reporters, Monday, October 23, morning. Saleh revealed that KIM designed the process of determining the presidential and vice presidential candidates easily and simply. After being discussed on Sunday, October 22, evening, he said, the coalition would then register the Prabowo-Gibran pair to the KPU on Wednesday, October 25. According to him, there is still 2 days to complete the entire file.

"There is no longer any declaration. The declaration was made, yes last night. All of KIM's party's core administrators were present complete. The declaration with the aim of notification to the public has been reached," said Saleh.

Saleh emphasized that there was no susceptibility in the coalition after Gibran's announcement of the vice presidential candidate. On the other hand, he said, all are determined to work hard to win the Prabowo-Gibran pair. In fact, Saleh said, the representatives of the parties in the winning team were complete. The division of tasks has also been delegated and everyone is happy.

"It is not true that there is tension. There is no debate. There is no difference in opinion. The issue was deliberately blown by another party. Naturally, in a dynamic political battle like this, many feel their interests are disturbed," said the chairman of the PAN faction in the DPR.

Saleh also hopes that all parties will maintain a calm political atmosphere and do not need to spread hoaxes. "If you want clarification, there are many parties in KIM who can be questioned," he concluded.
