Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Mayor of Solo Gibran Rakabuming Raka has officially registered as Prabowo Subianto’s vice presidential candidate. Both of them have registered with the General Election Commission (KPU) to become presidential and vice-presidential candidates to compete in the 2024 presidential election. So, how will the PDIP react?
Chairman of the Solo City PDIP Branch Leadership Council (DPC), FX Hadi Rudyatmo asked the Mayor of Solo to resign from his party. FX Hadi said that his resignation was part of political etiquette.
“I sincerely and respectfully ask for Mas Gibran’s self-awareness, come and see his face, go home and see his back. That’s the culture of our nation,” said Rudy in Solo, Wednesday (25/10/2023).
Quoting CNN Indonesia, Rudy said that Gibran’s resignation process was actually very simple. He simply returns his Membership Identification Card (KTA) to the PDIP DPC Office.

“There’s no need to write a letter. Just returning the KTA to the DPC is complete. You don’t have to come here, Mas Gibran, there’s nothing wrong with the messenger. We’re not demanding anything more,” he said.
Gibran himself has officially registered with the KPU as vice presidential candidate for the Advanced Indonesia Coalition to accompany Prabowo Subianto. However, PDIP together with a number of other parties have nominated the pair Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD in the 2024 presidential election.
The PDIP DPP itself emphasized that until now Gibran has not resigned from the party bearing the Bull symbol. On the other hand, Gibran admitted that he had communicated with PDIP DPP Chair Puan Maharani regarding his candidacy as Prabowo’s vice presidential candidate.
