JAKARTA - The 11th Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia Boediono admitted that he did not discuss politics or the direction of support when visited by presidential candidate (candidate) number three, Ganjar Pranowo at his home. The discussion was only limited to his experience when in the New Order government to accompany the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY).

"No (political discussions). I hear more about politics. He (Ganjar, ed) has the temperature, I hear," said Boediono at his residence in the Gondangdia area, Central Jakarta, Friday, November 24.

"But when it comes to my experience, I tell him," he added.

Boediono said Ganjar asked many questions about economic issues and development. There is no other discussion.

"I've been in government, even since the new order I wasn't a decision maker, but I understand up to information, so what did he ask, I tried to answer," he said.

Meanwhile, when asked whether Ganjar would be a future leader, Boediono did not answer much. He only said that he did not support anyone because each had their own strengths.

"I think all of these presidential candidates are good. It's just the people who choose which one," he said.

Meanwhile, Ganjar also stated that his visit was not to ask for Boediono's support in winning the 2024 presidential election. Likening Boediono like an old man, he said his visit was like a student who wanted to learn the Koran.

"No, no, we don't tell that story. I tell you how I recited it to a native and senior," said the former Governor of Central Java.

Ganjar claimed to know Boediono's character. Therefore, in the meeting he did not mention any political issues or direction of support at all.

On the other hand, he actually learned a lot about Boediono's economy, development and bureaucracy. "I already know his character," said Ganjar.

"I'm talking about more practical things, how to lead, how to lead in changing world conditions. So those are the sciences," he concluded.
