PURWOREJO - Presidential Candidate Ganjar Pranowo stated the reason for canceling the turn of New Year's Eve together with Vice Presidential Candidate Mahfud Md. "Not because Mr. Mahfud coughed last night, so we asked for a break," said Ganjar after visiting the Al Iman Bulus Islamic Boarding School (Ponpes), Purworejo Regency, Central Java, as reported by Antara, Sunday, December 31. Therefore, the former Governor of Central Java for two periods said that his party replaced Mahfud to visit the Al Iman Bulus Islamic Boarding School. "That's why today the schedule should not be me, Mr. Mahfud. Mr. Mahfud's welcome banner. That's how compact Mahfud and Ganjar are. No Mr. Mahfud, Ganjar also came," he said. Meanwhile, Ganjar also gave a tip to the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs in order to maintain health, especially during the 2024 election campaign. "Yes, exercising, vitamins, and resting, so I said Prof., just rest Prof., tomorrow I will go," he said. He continued, "But I am also collaborating." Previously, Ganjar and Mahfud revealed that they would celebrate New Year's Eve 2024 in Semarang, Central Java. "Where is Mr. Mahfud in Semarang?" asked Ganjar to Mahfud after attending the Year-End Consolidation of the National Winning Team (TPN) and Ganjar-Mahfud Volunteers at Djakarta Theater, Jakarta, Saturday (30/12). "In Semarang too," said Mahfud in response to Ganjar's question. Ganjar said that he did not rule out meeting Mahfud during the celebration of the new year. "Oh, we'll meet later. Oh, I want to go out together too, I can also meet him (Mahfud)," said Ganjar.
