The response from the whole community to the figure of Ganjar Pranowo was also very full of enthusiasm and great enthusiasm, which shows that indeed his figure is not only able to lead, but is a leader who is very popular or close to his people and all elements.
Optimism is also very visible because the leader who was born in Karanganyar Regency is widely accepted by all elements of society, all the way to W Sumatra. So it cannot be denied how important it is to carry out outreach to all regions.
Because with the socialization that continues to be intensively carried out by all supporting parties, it will make people in Indonesia become much more familiar with what Ganjar Pranowo is like and they are able to understand the various programs offered by him in order to improve their welfare.
