JAKARTA - Candidate for vice president number 3, Mahfud MD straightened out the circulating issue which said there was a link with Ganjar Pranowo because he had not communicated for four days. According to him, the issue is not true. This is because the facts that he did not communicate with Ganjar because he was in Umrah after the campaign period ended on February 10. "Even though at that time when asked by reporters, Wednesday morning, ‘ when did you last meet Mr. Ganjar?’ I said, ‘ I haven't communicated for 4 days, have no contact,’ For what reason? Because since the last campaign, February 10 in Solo and Semarang, I immediately went to Umrah," Mahfud told reporters, Saturday, February 17. "So you don't communicate. Not because you are separated, not compact and so on. And on the 13th you just go home and go straight to Jogja, when you meet him, to vote," Mahfud continued.

Mahfud emphasized that his relationship with Ganjar Pranowo and PDIP is still well established today. Evidently, they had held a meeting with the leaders of the supporting parties at the High End Building on Thursday, February 15. In addition, it was also emphasized that this communication that had been cut off due to Umrah had been established. "So for four days I didn't meet it because of Umrah. Before and after Umrah until now I have always communicated, met and called Mas Ganjar. That's what happened," said Mahfud.
