JAKARTA - The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) does not feel hampered by the decision of the presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto, who officially elected Surakarta Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka as his partner. "Just be positive, just follow it. We don't feel hampered by Prabowo and Gibran who last minute, who are too beautiful in making political decisions," said Secretary General Aboe Bakar Alhabsyi when giving a press statement at the PKS DPP, Jakarta, Antara, Sunday, October 22. Aboe Bakar said the decision to choose Gibran was a new history in Indonesia. The reason is, the candidate for vice president to be young under 40 years old will participate in the 2024 presidential election. "This means that this is an event that has never happened in history in the country," he said. According to him, the leadership of the state is not only a matter of father and son, but rather of ability and competence. The figure of the vice president, said Aboe Bakar, is those who have the ability and experience of a long career. There is no doubt about this. "When one day the president experiences problems, the representative will replace him," said Aboe Bakar.
