JAKARTA - Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka did not respond when asked by reporters ahead of the Constitutional Court (MK) decision hearing on Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections related to the minimum age of presidential and vice-presidential candidates to 35 years today. Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Anwar Usman will be the Chief Justice of the Panel of Judges for the verdict trial. "Mas imbaunnya jelang putusan MK kepada masyarakat ini?" tanya salah satu awak media. "There is no appeal, yes, wes, yes," Gibran replied, quoted from Youtube news Surakarta, Monday, October 16. Gibran then walked away. Previously, a number of people held an action at the house of the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Loji Gandrung, on Slamet Riyadi Street, Surakarta City, Monday, October 16. The crowd unfurled a white poster with various writings. Gibran, who saw the mass action, spontaneously approached them. One by one, the residents who brought the white poster were immediately asked by Gibran. Gibran's voice was so firm, without forgetting to ask the residents, he first said goodbye. "The writing is opo, the protest is opo toh," Gibran asked the residents as quoted from Youtube news Surakarta today. Residents who carried protest banners looked embarrassed and could not answer Gibran's question back. He only opened a poster and showed Gibran. It was written 'The silent topo culture conservation.'

"What's the complaint anyway," asked Gibran once again.
