The elected vice president (wapres), Gibran Rakabuming Raka, said that there had been no directive from his father, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to volunteers regarding the 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada).
"There is no specific direction yet, just wait," he said when asked about the results of his meeting with President Jokowi last weekend in Yogyakarta.
The same thing, continued the Mayor of Solo, also applies to the Gibran volunteer organization even though some time ago they have consolidated in Semarang City, Central Java.
"Honestly, I haven't given any directions and instructions to volunteers. It's still a long time, there's still time. Neither the gubernatorial and regional elections nor any directives," he said.
Gibran said that until now he or Jokowi had not determined to provide support to one of the candidates in the Central Java Pilkada. Several names of candidates for governor (cagub) have surfaced, such as the Chairman of the Central Java Gerindra DPD Sudaryono, Kendal Regent Dito M Ganinduto, and Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Ahmad Lutfi.
"There is no candidate (which will be supported) yet. The principal residence is waiting for it," he said.
Although he has not yet determined the direction of support for certain cagubs, Gibran said that currently his party only hopes that the 2024 Pilkada can run safely and in an orderly manner.
"What is clear is that once again I want the regional elections tomorrow in November to run safely and in an orderly manner. Wis is what matters first," he concluded.
It is known that last weekend ten volunteer organizations that are members of the Presidium Volunteer Gibran held a national consolidation in Semarang City, Sunday, May 26, 2024.

In addition to being the first meeting after the presidential and legislative elections in 2024, the consolidation is also to keep the volunteer engine hot ahead of the 2024 Pilkada in accordance with the direction of the elected vice president, Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
"Indeed, there has been no (specific) directive, but some time ago Mas Gibran said volunteers had to heat up the engine for the Pilkada, so we held consolidation," said Gibran Volunteer Presidium Coach, Strong Hermawan.
