Jokowi's Son Follows in Father's Footsteps in Mayoral Bid for Solo

Gibran is better known as a businessman in the culinary field with a catering business and a chain of restaurants selling sweet martabak pancakes prior to his foray in politics.

If elected, Gibran will follow in Jokowi’s footsteps. The former furniture manufacturer made his political debut as mayor of Solo between 2005 and 2012 prior to his meteoric rise as Indonesia’s seventh president.
