Political observer at Padjadjaran University, Caroline Paskarina, said that the meeting between the Chairman of the National Campaign Team (TKN) Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Rosan Roeslani and PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri was just a gathering.

He also argued that the meeting between Rosan and the Chairman of the National Winning Team (TPN) Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud Md, Arsjad Rasjid, was just a gathering.

"Given that it is still in the moment of Eid al-Fitr, it seems that the meeting of leaders from the camps of the different vice presidential candidates is a gathering," Caroline said when contacted by Antara from Jakarta, Saturday.

Meanwhile, he assessed that discussions on political reconciliation would require special meetings.

"It is not yet certain whether (the meeting) will lead to political reconciliation because post-pilpres reconciliation will require special meetings," he said.

Previously, Rosan visited Megawati Soekarnoputri's residence on Jalan Teuku Umar, Menteng, Jakarta, on Wednesday (10/4) morning, at around 10.40 WIB.

Next, Rosan arrived with his wife at Megawati's house for the second time at 15.04 WIB. Then, they came out at 16.38 WIB in a black Lexus sedan.

The meeting took one hour and 30 minutes. The meeting between Rosan and Megawati was accompanied by PANRB Minister Abdullah Azwar Anas, DPR RI Speaker Puan Maharani to Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrif.

Meanwhile, Arsjad met with Rosan while attending the funeral degree at the residence of the Chairperson of the TKN Prabowo-Gibran in Jakarta, on Thursday (11/4) night.

On the same occasion, Deputy Chairperson of the Golkar Party Bambang Soesatyo hopes that the meeting between Arsjad and Rosan is expected to bridge political parties that support Prabowo and political parties that support Ganjar to unite and join the government in the future.

"Finally, two friends returned after being in two different camps for a long time. I hope that the meeting of the two can bridge the two camps that are fighting in the 2024 presidential election to unite in the grand coalition of President Prabowo's government," said Bamsoet.
