The Story Behind Mahfud MD's White Shirt Worn When Registering for KPU: The Shirt Used When Failing to Become Jokowi's Vice President Candidate

Dream - Ganjar Pranowo and Mahfud MD will register as presidential and vice-presidential candidates to the General Election Commission (KPU) today, Thursday, October 19, 2023.

Ganjar Pranowo is seen leaving his residence in the Patra Kuningan area, Jakarta, heading to Tugu Proklamasi in the morning. Ganjar appears to be wearing a black shirt, accompanied by his wife, Siti Atikoh, and their child, Muhammad Zinedine Alam Ganjar.

"Mahfud Wears White Clothes"

Different from Ganjar, Mahfud MD and his wife are both wearing white shirts combined with black pants and a black peci.

Apparently there is an interesting story behind the white shirt that Mahfud is wearing today. Mahfud said that the shirt is the same one he wore when he registered as Jokowi's vice presidential candidate five years ago.

"Today I am wearing the white shirt that I wore 5 years ago to register with the KPU, but back then it didn't happen."

Although at that time he canceled becoming vice president, Mahfud admitted to gaining wisdom. "Postponed for now to be used for the KPU and today can be used to register," said Mahfud, greeted by the cheers of volunteers.

Vice President 2019

Known, Mahfud MD was almost appointed to accompany Jokowi in the 2019 Presidential Election. On the designated day for the announcement of the vice presidential candidate, Jokowi was present at a restaurant in Central Jakarta with the general chairmen of the coalition government political parties. Mahfud was also present at a restaurant not far from the location of the vice presidential candidate announcement. However, when the announcement time arrived, it turned out that the person chosen as Jokowi's vice presidential candidate was KH Ma'ruf Amin.

Vice President Jokowi

As a result, Mahfud, who was already wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, chose to go home. The Chairman of the Crescent Star Party (PBB), Yusril Ihza Mahendra, recently revealed the reason why Mahfud canceled becoming the vice presidential candidate of President Jokowi in 2019. Yusril revealed that fortunately at that time, the Jokowi camp only leaked the initials before the announcement of the vice presidential candidate.

Selected Ma'ruf Amin

The initial leaked name at that time was "M". According to Yusril, the party that caused Mahfud to fail as Jokowi's vice presidential candidate was the Golkar Party. Yusril said that Golkar at that time completely rejected Mahfud as Jokowi's running mate. Therefore, Jokowi's camp looked for another figure with the initial "M" as well. Eventually, former Chairman of MUI Ma'ruf Amin was chosen.
