JAKARTA - Candidate for Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia elected Gibran Rakabuming Raka received advice from the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia Ma'ruf Amin regarding the importance of synergy between the president and vice president in running the wheels of government. "The meeting in the atmosphere was very warm. The Vice President explained that the synergy between the president and vice president was very important," said Gibran after meeting the Vice President at the Vice President's Office House, Jakarta, Antara, Wednesday, April 24. The vice president, said Gibran, likened the duties of the president and vice president to double-category badminton, namely that each player must back up each other with his teammates or compatriots. "He likens it to the badminton game earlier. So, it must be compact like a double game in badminton, must synergize with each other, back up with each other and once again this president and vice president must be able to fill each other," he said. The Vice President, continued Gibran, also emphasized the importance of sustainability of development programs that have been carried out during the administration of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). "He also said the importance of sustainability. So, later from the previous president and also the new president, I hope there will be sustainability and also have often conveyed during campaigns or debates about the importance of equitable development. Earlier, the Vice President had highlighted it," said Gibran. Previously, the General Election Commission (KPU) of the Republic of Indonesia named the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair number 2 Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka as the elected candidate pair in the 2024 presidential election. The determination is contained in the minutes number 252/PL.01.9-BA/05/2024 concerning the Determination of Candidate Pairs for President and Vice President Elected in the 2024 General Election. "The General Election Commission has appointed presidential and vice presidential candidate pair number 2 Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka as presidential and vice presidential candidates elected in the 2024 General Election," said Chairman of the Indonesian KPU Hasyim Asy'ari at the Indonesian KPU Office, Jakarta, Wednesday.

The determination of Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka is also in line with the reading of the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) on Monday (22/4) rejecting all applications of Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud Md. in the trial of the Presidential and Vice Presidential 2024 General Election Result Dispute (PHPU) case.
