JAKARTA - The National Campaign Team (TKN) Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka defended his vice presidential candidate who was said to rarely attend public dialogue events. Instead of being afraid, TKN reasoned that Gibran was not present at several events because it was part of one of the strategies to win the 2024 presidential election. "Oh no, because politics has a reference from the days of the prophet ‘taqulu malayahyi ’?, leave everything that has no benefits. Ful khoiron auliyasmud, say something good, otherwise it is better to be silent," said Secretary of TKN Prabowo-Gibran, Nusron Wahid at Grand Sahid Jakarta, Monday, November 27. "People appear in public, or do not appear publicly, so they are part of the strategy," he continued. The Golkar politician said that his party also did not feel disturbed by the attack addressed to Gibran following the decision of the Constitutional Court. According to him, so far nothing has been violated by the presidential candidate for the protection of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) since it was declared a participant in the 2024 presidential election. "It doesn't bother, we don't feel wrong, why be attacked, ordinary war heroes are attacked. Just keep attacking, it's okay. Attacked in whatever we are in a standing position, we will face it. Why? Because we stand on the facts of the truth," said Nusron. Including related to the Constitutional Court's decision. Nusron said there was no evidence that Gibran violated the legislation. He also allowed those who questioned the Constitutional Court's decision to be tired of its own. "The trueness of the formal, material, what was attacked, what was attacked? The law. The law says the material test? We don't feel tired but those who attack feel tired," he concluded. Previously, Gibran Rakabuming was absent from the Muhammadiyah Open Dialogue with the Candidate for National Leaders at Muhammadiyah University Surabaya, East Java, Friday, November 24. Because of this absence, Presidential Candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto apologized for his vice president, Gibran Rakabuming Raka had to take part in the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) event which was also held in East Java. "Today I apologize that Brother Gibran Rakabuming Raka could not attend because there was another event at the same time in East Java as well," Prabowo said in the Muhammadiyah Open Dialogue with the Candidate for National Leaders at Muhammadiyah University Surabaya which was broadcast on YouTube TvMU, Friday, November 24.

"But the one who organizes it is Nahdlatul Ulama," he continued. In the public dialogue held by Muhammadiyah, only Gibran was not present. While the presidential candidates number 1 and 2 are complete with the vice presidential candidates.
