Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo and President Joko Widodo followed the Healthy Road Towards a Century of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in Surakarta, Sunday 22 January. The activity was also attended by the Chairman of the Indonesian Parliament Puan Maharani, National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo, PBNU Chair KH Yahya Cholil Staquf, national figures to the ranks of ministers of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet.

More than 35 thousand participants followed a healthy path to welcome a NU century. Healthy roads cover a distance of about 3 kilometers, starting from the Mangkunegaran Temple yard.

At the forefront, Jokowi was accompanied by First Lady Iriana Joko Widodo and his grandson Jan Ethes, and Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

Meanwhile, Ganjar, wearing a red shirt and a white hat, chose to mingle with the general participants. The participants seemed to repeatedly shout Ganjar's name. They also asked for a photo together and shook hands.

"Towards a century of the age of Nahdlatul Ulama today the celebration was lively, because yesterday it was preceded by Porseni (Sports and Art Week). So today is very happy, approximately 35 thousand people are present," said Ganjar Pranowo.

This activity, said Ganjar, is a momentum for mutual happiness. This is because President Jokowi and a number of national figures can greet the public directly.

"It was so exciting, that the President could also greet the public. Mbak Puan was also present, the ministers were also present. It was fun today," he said.

In addition, no less important is the momentum of the marriage of two cultures between two leaders, namely the Mangkunegaran Palace and the Surakarta City Government.

"But the enthusiasm of the community is extraordinary. Gus Yahya is chaotic, Mr. President is chaotic. And this combines the culture in Solo, so the King of Mangkunegara and Mr. Mayor who are both young can collaborate, so that the Palace becomes a meeting place for so many people and enthusiasm was felt right," added the Governor of Central Java for the two periods.

According to Ganjar Pranowo, this healthy road event is also able to stimulate the community's economy. "The hotel is full, MSMEs are also selling well. There are excitement and economy. This is an interesting series of events, because there are also Chinese New Year coincides," he said.
