JAKARTA - Ganjar Pranowo's presidential candidate responded to the discourse that Gibran Rakabuming Raka would become a vice presidential candidate to accompany Prabowo Subianto and cancel his campaign team. According to Ganjar, this is the right of President Joko Widodo's eldest son. Gibran, Ganjar views, has the right to accept any position, including being a vice presidential candidate. "Everyone has the right to become any official," replied Ganjar after undergoing a medical test at the Gatot Subroto Army Hospital, Central Jakarta, Sunday, October 22. Meanwhile, Deputy Chairperson of the National Winning Team (TPN) Ganjar President Andika Perkasa also had no problem with Gibran's cancellation of being the campaigner for Ganjar-Mahfud. "It must be very sincere. I'm sure, even though I don't know later, right," said Andika. Moreover, according to Andika, the coalition of four parties carrying Ganjar-Mahfud does not lack resources to fill the position of TPN campaigner Ganjar Presiden. Figures outside the coalition of parties were also charged with winning Ganjar. "In the meantime, not only the 4 parties, but also professionals, from young people, gen Z, millennials. TPN also opens up. So, it doesn't only have to be from 4 political parties that support this," explained Andika. Andika continued, the TPN GP is currently still completing the preparation of the structure of the winning team which will work during the nomination stages of presidential and vice presidential candidates until election day, including filling the position of Gibran's replacement in the team. "Bsok pagi kita masih rapat finalisasi, ini benar dini pagi sudah dijadwalkan. Finalisasi selain struktur organisasi, di situ juga termasuk yang akan menjadi juru bicara, juru kampanye, termasuk tim-tim lain yang ada dalam struktur, juga visi-mission, dimarin itu akan difialisasikan," jelasnya.

As previously reported, Golkar Party Chairman Airlangga Hartarto stated that his party agreed to propose Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka as Prabowo Subianto's companion cawap crew in the 2024 presidential election. This agreement was taken after the internal party held a meeting on Friday night, October 20. The son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has also received a decree from the party bearing the banyan symbol on Saturday, October 21.
