Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Wali Kota Solo Gibran Rakabuming Raka reportedly visited the residence of the General Chair of the Democratic Party, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (ME) on Sunday (22/10) morning.
According to monitoring detikcomGibran was seen getting out of a black Innova car in front of AHY’s residence on Jalan Prapanca Raya Number 10, South Jakarta, at around 08.22 WIB.
Gibran’s arrival took place amidst growing rumors that he would be nominated as Prabowo Subianto’s vice presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election.
Gibran was seen getting out of the car and immediately greeting AHY. Gibran is seen wearing a golden brown batik shirt.
Meanwhile, AHY was seen wearing moss green clothes typical of soldiers. When shaking hands, there was a little conversation between the two of them until they went straight into the house.
Previously, the Chairman of the High Council of the Democratic Party, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), responded to information that Gibran wanted to meet him. SBY said there was a possibility that the meeting would discuss Prabowo Subianto’s vice presidential candidate (cawapres).
“I’ve been in Central Java for the past three days. I received information that Mas Gibran wants to meet me and AHY (Ketum Democrat). Maybe it’s related to Mas Gibran’s candidacy as vice presidential candidate,” wrote SBY in his X account, Sunday (22/10).
Meanwhile, Gibran’s father who is also the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, gave his blessing to Gibran if he was truly appointed as Prabowo’s vice presidential candidate.
“Yes, the parents’ only job is to pray and approve,” said Jokowi after attending the 2023 National Santri Day rally at the Heroes Monument, Surabaya, Sunday (22/10).
Jokowi said that Gibran was an adult and he had no right to interfere in his child’s affairs.
“Everyone’s decisions are mature, don’t interfere too much in matters that have been decided by our children,” said Jokowi.
Currently, the coalition parties supporting Prabowo are Gerindra, Golkar, PAN, Democrat, PBB, Gelora and Garuda.
