Secretary General of the Gerindra Party Ahmad Muzani responded to the statement by the Secretary General of the PDI-P, Hasto Kristiyanto, who said that the pair number 2, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, was a reflection of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) for three terms. Muzani assessed that Hasto was trying to demean or downgrade Presidents Jokowi and Prabowo-Gibran. "What Hasto put forward is an effort to downgrade Mr. Jokowi because it is hoped that the effect will be downgraded on the pair 02 Prabowo-Gibran," said Muzani at the TKN Media Center, Jakarta, Thursday, January 25. Muzani admitted that the big theme of Prabowo-Gibran in the 2024 presidential election was to continue what Jokowi had done. However, according to him, this cannot be interpreted as a continuation of Jokowi's leadership period. "Still, this is a different thing, Pak Jokowi will end it as president on October 20, 2024," said the Deputy Chairperson of the TKN Prabowo-Gibran. Therefore, Muzani considered Hasto's statement completely baseless. He suspected that Hasto was worried about Prabowo-Gibran's superiority in the 2024 presidential election. "So I think that effort is an effort to downgrade Mr. Jokowi because there are very concerns, and I think it is baseless," he concluded. Previously, the Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto satirized President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) who was considered still in power. Hasto said that the number two pair in the 2024 presidential election, Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka, were a reflection of this ambition. This was said by Hasto when responding to a statement from both the president and the minister may take sides and even campaign.

"What Pak Jokowi said finally proved that the Prabowo-Gibran pair was a mirror of Jokowi's three terms," said Hasto in a written statement, Thursday, January 25.
