The figure of the number two vice presidential candidate, Gibran Rakabuming Raka and the number 1 vice presidential candidate, Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin became public attention because of the abbreviation SGIE which appeared in the 2024 presidential election debate a few days ago.
Now both of them have come together to give a special message to the Indonesian people who are celebrating Christmas 2023.
