JAKARTA - Presidential Candidate number three, Ganjar Pranowo does not question President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) campaigning for pair number two, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka. He believes the public can judge for themselves. "“It will be recorded in their respective histories, people change because of something, and then people can judge, it's okay," Ganjar said in a YouTube show on the Karni Ilyas Club account quoted on Friday, January 26. Ganjar said Jokowi's choice to campaign to support his son who is Prabowo Subianto is certainly his political choice and must be respected. “ For example, if he came down the mountain, the statement has been delivered, ‘ please, you know, campaign president ’, I never had a problem,” he said. Even so, he assessed that Jokowi should be aware of the political and moral responsibilities of young people. “ If then our elite cannot set an example, does not educate, what happens is joy, ” said the former Governor of Central Java. “ If you like it, there is only one law going on, machiavelli. Every way will be used, ” continued Ganjar. Previously reported, Jokowi said that the president and political officials, including public officials, could take sides and even campaign. As long as no state facilities are used.

"This is the right of democracy, every person's political right, every minister, the same. The president can campaign, the president can take sides," said Jokowi at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 24. The former mayor of Solo even gave an open signal to campaign. This was conveyed by Jokowi before the Minister of Defense who is also the number two presidential candidate, Prabowo Subianto.
