JAKARTA - Chairman of the Golkar Party Airlangga Hartarto is optimistic that presidential and vice presidential candidates number 2 Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakbuming Raka can win the 2024 Presidential and Vice Presidential Elections (Pilpres) in just one round.

"Yes (one round), the name is one round of efforts," said Airlangga at the Central Java Province Golkar Party Regional Leadership Council (DPD) consolidation event as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, December 5,

According to him, the one round victory was based on the results of an internal party survey.

At the event which was also attended by Gibran, he also asked all cadres to chant the agreed encouragement.

"Golkar? Indonesia, Golkar? Indonesia, Golkar? Win-win, Prabowo-Gibran? One round, Prabowo Gibran? One round. Gibran? Golkar," Airlangga shouted in the forest with the screams of the party cadres bearing the banyan tree.

Airlangga explained that the "Gibran" chant answered by the word "Golkar" was the hope of all cadres so that President Joko Widodo's eldest son joined the party number 4 in the 2024 election.

"This is what the cadres shouted, not Mas (Gibran), so Mas Gibran is safe," he added.
