Medan, CNN Indonesia —
Mayor of Medan Bobby Nasution evaluate his brother-in-law Gibran Rakabuming Raka suitable to be a candidate for vice president (cawapres) accompanying him Prabowo Subianto in the 2024 presidential election.
According to Bobby, Gibran, who currently still serves as Mayor of Solo, is quite capable of carrying out this mandate. He said that the moment Gibran took to run as vice presidential candidate was right.
“Suitable (to be Prabowo’s vice presidential candidate),” said President Jokowi’s son-in-law at the Medan City Government, Wednesday (25/10).
“Experience is not taken from how long it takes, it is not taken from how long. But how quickly someone takes a moment, an event to turn it into an experience,” he explained.
Not only that, Bobby believes that other people’s experiences can also be used as learning. He gave the example that the position of Mayor of Medan that he held could be used as a lesson for others.
“It could happen to people, this incident to our predecessors is an experience. Like us in Medan, there was an incident that was carried out by the Medan City Government,” explained Bobby.
“I don’t want it to just be my personal experience. But this experience for all of us will be a lesson for regional heads,” he explained.
For this reason, Bobby believes that Gibran is very appropriate to accept the position of vice presidential candidate to accompany Prabowo and compete in the upcoming presidential election.
“Likewise with Mr. Gibran. I think he is very good at taking a moment to learn a lesson. And this can be a lesson,” said Bobby.
President Joko Widodo’s eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, was officially announced as Prabowo Subianto’s running mate in the 2024 presidential election.
The declaration of Gibran’s appointment as Prabowo’s vice presidential candidate was made at the Minister of Defense’s private residence on Jalan Kertanegara, Kebayoran Baru, on Sunday (22/10).
Gibran, who is still Mayor of Solo, is a PDIP cadre. Meanwhile, the party bearing the symbol of a bull’s head with a white snout, together with its coalition partner political parties, is also nominating the presidential and vice presidential candidates, Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD.
