Presidential candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto dismissed the issue of himself being sick by appearing energetic and dancing with residents while attending the Democratic Party's national campaign at the Gajayana Stadium, Malang City, East Java.

The arrival of the General Chairperson of the Gerindra Party was warmly welcomed by residents accompanied by enthusiastic screams.

"Prabowo president, Prabowo president!" exclaimed the residents.

The presidential candidate from the Forward Indonesia Coalition also danced with residents and high-ranking Democratic Party officials, such as the Chairman of the Democratic Party Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) and his wife Annisa Pohan, as well as the Chairman of the DPR RI Democratic Faction Edhie Baskoro Yudhoyono (Ibas) and his wife Aliya Rajasa.

The excitement became even more lively when singer Denny Caknan went on stage and sang several songs, including Kartonyono Medot Janji and Taman Jurug (Cahyaning Bulan).

During the two songs, Prabowo danced with Denny and the residents. On the sidelines of dancing, Prabowo approached a child who was brought by the residents and carried him.

Not only that, the couple from the vice presidential candidate Gibran Rakabuming Raka was even awarded a ring by a resident. After wearing the ring, Prabowo then thanked him with respect.

Separately, Deputy Chairman of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN), Afriansyah Noor, said the news that Prabowo was sick was a hoax.

He made sure Prabowo was in good health. "Information is a hoax. Pak Prabowo is still in good health," said Afriansyah Noor in Jakarta, Thursday, according to the written statement.

Head of Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital Lieutenant General TNI dr. Albertus Budi Sulistya also said the same thing.

According to him, information about Prabowo being taken to the RSPAD due to fatigue after the campaign was not true.

"It's not true, it's a hoax," Albertus said in the same written statement.

Previously, it was rumored that Prabowo fell ill. The general chairman of the Gerindra Party was said to be sick after a campaign in Sumedang, West Java, and was taken to Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital for treatment.
