Dream - The youngest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), Kaesang Pangarep, entered the race for the mayor of Solo in the 2024 Regional Election. However, Solo Mayor and Kaesang's older brother, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, declined to comment much on the matter.

"Let the citizens be the judge. The citizens are the ones who determine. The ones who support, who judge, who determine are the citizens, not their older sibling," said Gibran, as quoted from merdeka.com, Thursday, March 14, 2024. When asked if there had been any discussion with Kaesang, Gibran did not confirm. "There is no focus on that," he said."

"Just ask him (Kaesang) directly," he said. Besides Kaesang, it is known that the name of the Leader of Mangkunegaran Solo, Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Arya (KGPAA) Mangkunegara X Bhre Cakrahutomo Wira Sujiwo, also appeared in the candidate list for the Mayor of Solo."

"No, just a visit. Yesterday after the jumenengan we met for a visit," he said. Gibran handed it over to the Solo community regarding his replacement candidate. "Yes, let the residents decide. I have no right to dictate. Let the residents choose, let them decide," said Gibran."

Although many people think that he has influence in Solo, Gibran does not want to be called a show-off. "What kind of show-off? No, if I show off, I will definitely campaign, go on a tour, have open campaigns, dance, play futsal, that's a sport," said Gibran.
