NGANJUK - The wife of the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo, Siti Atikoh, said that she deliberately shook hands with residents to greet and hear aspirations directly. He also chose this method to get around a narrow time every time in one location, for example the PDIP DPC Office, Nganjuk, East Java. He conveyed this when he was asked about his actions, which often greeted the community while shaking hands, including when he was at the PDIP Nganjuk DPC Office. Even though it was hot, Atikoh was still excited to greet those present and occasionally served a request for a photo together. " “ With that, right, because the time is limited, you can't talk to them, so at least greet them, greet them and ask for their health or for example someone wants to convey aspirations like that," said Atikoh to reporters at the PDIP DPC Office, Nganjuk, East Java. "That's our way of really absorbing their aspirations because of the limited time," he continued. Even so, Atikoh said that he was often prayed for and encouraged by the community when shaking hands. “ So no one even gave input because I had conveyed some of his aspirations during the speech, ” he said. Furthermore, Atikoh said he was happy when he met volunteers and PDIP cadres in Nganjuk. Moreover, they are excited to win the number three pair, Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD. "There were also a lot of volunteer organs coming in, there were 18 volunteer organs, then all the coalition parties also came and hopefully this will provide extraordinary positive energy for us and also very encouraging," he said. On that occasion, Atikoh had set fire to the enthusiasm of the volunteers and cadres present. He even asked them to fight back when there was intimidation or using power to scare opponents in the 2024 presidential election.

"When someone tries to intimidate, when someone tries to use power, when someone tries to scare us but when we Indonesian people join hands, just hit them. Ready? ” he said. “Ready!” said the volunteers and cadres who attended. “ Aren't you afraid? ” ask Atikoh. “No!” “ Aren't you afraid? ” ask Atikoh a second time. “No!” replied the volunteers and cadres there.
