Relationship with Megawati

Jokowi also revealed his relationship with the General Chairman of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) after Gibran became vice presidential candidate. He admitted that his relationship with Megawati and PDIP is still fine. "Everything is fine," said Jokowi.

Prabowo considers that there is nothing wrong with political dynasties if the goal is to serve the people and the country of Indonesia.

"All dynasties are blooming. Let's not look for the negatives. What's wrong with people wanting to serve? We are the red and white dynasty, we are the patriot dynasty. We are the dynasty that wants to serve the people. If the Jokowi dynasty wants to serve the people, why? What's wrong with that?"
say Prabowo after the National Meeting of Gerindra, Monday 23 October 2023.

"Unfair Democracy"

According to the former Commander of Kopassus, negative assumptions about political dynasties are evidence of Indonesia's unfair democracy. "I am too old, Gibran is too young, this is Indonesian politics, sometimes it's not fair," he said.
