WONOSOBO - Candidate for president number 3 Ganjar Pranowo seduces residents while eating durian in Wilayu Village, Selomerto District, Wonosobo Regency, Central Java. Initially, a group of women standing near Ganjar asked how the durian taste was being eaten. "(The duration) is sweet like me or not, bro?" asked the residents to Ganjar, quoted from Antara, Monday, December 18. Ganjar was silent, it seems that the former Governor of Central Java did not hear their questions. Not long after, Ganjar realized and replied to their questions. He admitted that the durian taste is sweet, but there is a bitter taste. Even so, when you look at the residents, the durian taste is sweeter. "(It feels) sweet a bit bitter, but if you look at it you are getting sweeter," said Ganjar. This immediately made laughter between the residents and Ganjar. Previously, Ganjar Pranowo wanted Wilayuu Village, Selomerto District, Wonosobo Regency, Central Java, to become a tourist destination for durian fans if they were elected president in the 2024 General Election. "It's good (it feels), it turns out that there are quite a lot of durians. If we make this a tourist village, children can come here and maybe they can be taught their own pick, because there is a technique earlier. Tied up like that," said Ganjar after enjoying durian in Wilayu Village. The durian variants offered by Wilayu Village are very diverse, ranging from durian milk to butter. In fact, there is a durian tree that is 300 years old. The former governor of Central Java did not hesitate to praise the durian taste of the village. "Earlier we tried one sweet, sweet, sweet seed, but the sweet is not too strong, so it's still comfortable. If I like it which is a little sweet, it's bitter," explained Ganjar. The Indonesian KPU has received registrations for three presidential-cawapres candidates, namely Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar, Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud Md, and Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

The election campaign period is set from November 28, 2023 to February 10, 2024, while the voting is scheduled for February 14, 2024.
