Jakarta: Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto chose to remain silent after President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) hinted at supporting his presidency bid.
 
"I want to focus on the seminar first," said Prabowo on the sidelines of a seminar held by the Indonesian Air Force here on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.
 
After attending the event Prabowo immediately left the press conference area. Several Jokowi tried to ask about the issue but Prabowo immediately entered his car.
 
Previously, President Jokowi predicted that Prabowo would become the strongest candidate in the 2024 presidential race. He hinted that he would welcome Prabowo's presidential bid.
