JAKARTA - Gibran Rakabuming is still being tempted to be able to advance to the advanced class in the DKI gubernatorial election following in the footsteps of his father, Joko Widodo. Even Gibran was asked who he would be paired with if he were to run in the DKI gubernatorial election.

"I'm Pak Teguh's partner... in Solo," said Gibran jokingly, as reported by the Surakarta News YouTube Channel, Wednesday, September 15.

Teguh in question is Teguh Prakosa who is now the deputy mayor of Solo. The man who was born on November 10, 1958 is a politician from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP). Before being elected as the deputy mayor of Solo, Teguh was a member of the Surakarta DPRD for three terms.

Gibran chose to joke around answering questions from a number of Solo journalists. He repeatedly emphasized that he would focus on working as Mayor of Koto Solo.

"I focus on Solo, I'm still in Solo," continued Gibran.

"In Solo alone, the PR is still a lot," he said.

The Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, is said to be exploring himself to run in the DKI Jakarta Pilkada in 2024. This emerged after Gibran left for Jakarta to receive the Top BUMD Awards 2021 and fulfilled the invitation for a blood donation event from PWNU DKI Jakarta.

Gibran admitted that he came to Jakarta to fulfill an invitation to a blood donation event from the DKI Jakarta Nahdlatul Ulama Regional Management (PWNU). In addition, he also received an award as the winner of the 2021 Top BUMD Awards. "Ora, wong teko (no, I came) tok an invitation to represent the Karang Taruna family," he explained. Gibran also denied any support from political parties or religious organizations. , there is no support. I only came (at the Jakarta PWNU event) as Chair of the Youth Advisory Council," he said.
