On a relaxing evening in Solo, Central Java, President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, and the 7th President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, enjoyed a dinner together at Bakmi Jowo Bu Citro 1. Joining them were Vice President Gibran Rakabuming and Aris Marsudiyanto, the Head of the Agency for Development Control and Special Investigation (BAPPISUS). Surrounded by bowls of noodle soup and glasses of water and tea, the two Presidents engaged in a brief private conversation before the meal. At another table, members of the Red-and-White Cabinet, including ministers such as Teddy Indra Wijaya, Sugiono, Prasetyo Hadi, Zulkifli Hasan, Bahlil Lahadalia, Erick Thohir, Meutya Hafid, and Giring Ganesha, were also present.
The presence of Aris Marsudiyanto at the dinner drew attention, as he is the Head of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) of the Gerindra Party for the West Java region. A loyal supporter of Prabowo since their time at the Military Academy in 1992, Aris has been actively involved in supporting Prabowo through various elections. His role as the CEO of one of Prabowo’s companies and his founding of the National Movement for Love of Prabowo (GNCP) demonstrate his unwavering support for Prabowo. With a background in the military and active participation in election campaigns, particularly in West Java, Aris has been a significant figure in Prabowo’s journey.
