The Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto ensured that his party respected Gibran Rakabuming's attitude even though he changed color from red to yellow. The change was clearly seen by the public.

"If the color also turns red and then has actually turned yellow, then the party respects that," said Hasto to reporters at the Borobudur Hotel, Jakarta, Friday, October 27.

Hasto did not want to talk much about Gibran's current status at PDIP after registering as a vice presidential candidate (cawapres) Prabowo Subianto. He only mentioned everything according to the statement of the Chairman of the PDIP Honorary Council Komarudin Watubun and the Chairman of the Surakarta City PDIP DPC FX Hadi Rudyatmo.

Meanwhile, Komarudin said that Gibran's status as an automatic cadre ended after he made a different decision from the direction of the party. Meanwhile, Rudy suggested that President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) son return the membership card (KTA).

"What Mr. Komarudin said, Mr. Rudi solo is true," he said.

"So now Mr. Rudy Solo yesterday reported to the General Chairperson because Mas Gibran was given KTA through the Solo PDIP DPC and then Mas Gibran said goodbye to Mbak Puan. I said goodbye, if I said goodbye, it means, "continued Hasto.

Previously reported, Gibran registered with Prabowo to the KPU supported by the Advanced Indonesia Coalition, which consisted of nine parties including the Gerindra Party, the Golkar Party, the National Mandate Party (PAN), and a number of other parties including the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI).

The couple has submitted the completeness of the files to the KPU. The day after, they have also carried out health checks at the Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital, Jakarta.
