Presidential candidate (candidate) number 3, Ganjar Pranowo met the 10th and 12th Vice Presidents to visit Jusuf Kalla (JK). The visit took place at JK's residence, on Jalan Brawijaya Raya, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Sunday 19 November.

Ganjar's visit was accompanied by the Chairman of the Perindo Party Harry Tanoesoedibjo and the Head of the National Winning Team (TPN) Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD Arsjad Rasjid.

Arriving at the location, Ganjar was immediately greeted by JK His arrival was greeted by Jusuf Kalla, who was wearing a cream and gray long-sleeved batik.

Meanwhile, Ganjar, who arrived at around 16.06 WIB at JK's house, wore a short-sleeved shirt with a black and white alloy. The two greeted each other with a smile.

Until now, JK has not expressed its support for the 2024 presidential and vice presidential candidates in a straightforward manner.

JK, who is personally close to the presidential candidate number 1, Anies Baswedan, is known not to be part of the National Team (Timnas) for the Victory of Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN).

Because, until now JK is still the Chairman of the Central Indonesian Red Cross (PMI). If you want to join as a campaign team, JK must first resign from PMI.

Some time ago, JK, who is also the Chairman of the Indonesian Mosque Council (DMI), confirmed that he would choose a pair of presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 2024 presidential election who love mosques.

He said this when delivering his remarks at the 2023 DMI Award Award Award Night at the Auditorium of Nahdlatul Ulama University Surabaya (Unusa), East Java, Tuesday, November 14 evening.

"I emphasize that DMI should not campaign and mosques should not be used as campaigns, but when I am asked personally, yes, it's simple, choose those who love mosques more," said Jusuf Kalla as written statement received in Jakarta, Wednesday, November 15, quoted by Antara.

In his remarks, Jusuf Kalla also told a unique phenomenon ahead of the general election (election), especially in East Java, that the candidates are usually diligent in going to the province to sowan to the kiai.

"That's why there are jokes when we have been busy visiting the kiai, that means it's near the election, yes," said Jusuf Kalla, greeted by laughter from the invitees who attended.
