Gibran Becomes Prabowo’s Vice Presidential Candidate, Jokowi Says This Is About Ganjar News – 8 hours ago

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has raised his voice regarding his son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who is running as vice presidential candidate (Cawapres) from Indonesian Presidential Candidate (Cawapres) Prabowo Subianto. When asked whether he supports his son or the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo who is being promoted by PDIP during the 2024 elections, Jokowi gave a straight answer.

Although, Jokowi’s answer did not clearly answer the question that was asked by the Chairman of the DPR and Chair of the PDIP DPP, Puan Maharani, regarding support for Ganjar Pranowo.

President Jokowi said he supported everything as long as it was for the good of Indonesia.

“Support everything for the good of this country,” said President Jokowi at the 2023 Santri Day rally in Surabaya, East Java, some time ago.

Jokowi was also reluctant to talk further about whether he was leaning towards supporting one of the presidential and vice presidential candidate pairs in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

Previously, Puan asked journalists to ask Jokowi about his support for Ganjar after the Constitutional Court (MK) granted one of the lawsuits which gave Jokowi’s eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, the opportunity to be registered as vice presidential candidate.

“The question must be asked to Pak Jokowi, not to me. So, let’s ask if the president has gone home, still supports Pak Ganjar Pranowo or has other options. Please ask. I also want to know the answer,” said Puan at the PDIP DPP Office, Central Jakarta, quoted from CNN Indonesia.

For information, Gibran and Prabowo Subianto officially became the last pair to register with the General Election Commission (KPU), last Wednesday (25/10).

Meanwhile, Gibran can advance to the 2024 presidential election after the Constitutional Court issues a ruling on the condition that presidential and vice-presidential candidates must be 40 years old or have experience as regional heads.
