INDONESIA’S vice-president-elect Gibran Rakabuming Raka has been touring Jakarta amid his busy agenda as mayor of Sura-karta, Central Java, stopping by Central Jakarta’s Tanah Tinggi subdistrict and Nangka Market as well as South Jakarta’s Manggis Market on July 3, accompanied by popular celebrity and TV host Raffi Ahmad.

Earlier on June 28, he strolled along the Semanggi River in Tegal Alur, West Jakarta, alongside acting Jakarta governor Heru Budi Hartono. During these visits, Gibran distributed milk and school supplies as social assistance, repeating a tactic he and Prabowo Subianto deployed to promote their free school lunch programme while campaigning for the 2024 presidential election in February.
