Kaesang himself admitted that they often compete with each other. Especially in terms of popularity. Gibran became the Mayor of Solo, so he is more well-known. However, when Kaesang was trusted to become the Chairman of PSI, he claimed that he was more famous and popular than Gibran.
“When I became the Chairman of PSI, everyone praised me, everyone called me Kaesang, Kaesang, Kaesang wherever I went. I felt like I had surpassed my brother who was just a mayor,” he said, quoted on Thursday, January 4, 2024.

“But after a few months, oh my God, he became a vice presidential candidate,” said Kaesang while laughing.
The youngest son of President Jokowi admitted that he did not expect his brother to run as a vice presidential candidate.
Despite competing against each other, Kaesang admitted that he loves his brother very much and fully supports Gibran’s candidacy in the 2024 Presidential Election.
His hope is that the pair of Prabowo Subianto – Gibran Rakabuming Raka can win in just one round. That way, Kaesang said, he can go on vacation with his wife.
“If they can win in one round. I want to go on vacation with my wife. If there are two rounds, then I’ll have to work with Mas Gibran again. But it’s okay because as a loving younger brother, I will continue to support Mas Gibran to become Prabowo’s vice presidential candidate until they win,” he said.
Currently, Kaesang also admitted that many people cannot distinguish between him and his brother, Gibran. So it’s no wonder that when he interacts with the public, there are many who call him Gibran.
“It’s different. I am the one who smiles. Well, as for Mas Gibran, he also smiles, but only a little. In our family, Mas Gibran is the serious version of Pak Jokowi, while I am the funny version of Pak Jokowi,” said Kaesang.

Diakui Kaesang sendiri, kerap kali mereka bersaing. Terutama siapa yang paling populer. Gibran menjadi Wali Kota Solo, otomatis lebih dikenal. Namun ketika dirinya dipercaya menjadi Ketum PSI, Kaesang mengatakan dirinya lebih dikenal oleh orang, lebih populer daripada Gibran.
“Waktu saya menjadi Ketua Umum PSI semua orang nyelametin saya, semua orang manggil Kaesang, Kaesang, Kaesang ketika saya jalan di manapun. Saya merasa sudah menang dari kakak saya yang cuma wali kota,” katanya, dikutip Kamis 4 Januari 2024.

“Tapi setelah beberapa bulan, masya Allah jadi cawapres,” kata Kaesang sembari tertawa.
Diakui putra bungsu Presiden Jokowi itu, dia tidak menyangka kalau kakaknya tersebut bakal maju sebagai calon wakil presiden.
Kendati saling bersaing, Kaesang mengakui sangat menyayangi kakaknya dan memberikan dukungan penuh kepada Gibran yang maju di Pilpres 2024.
Harapannya, pasangan Prabowo Subianto – Gibran Rakabuming Raka, bisa menang cukup satu putaran. Dengan begitu, kata Kaesang, dia bisa berlibur dengan sang istri.
“Kalau bisa menang satu putaran. Saya mau liburan sama istri saya soalnya. Kalau dua putaran nanti saya disuruh kerja lagi sama Mas Gibran. Tapi nggak apa-apa karena saya sebagai adik yang sayang sekali dengan kakaknya akan mendukung terus mas Gibran untuk menjadi cawapresnya Pak Prabowo hingga nanti bisa menang,” katanya.
Saat ini, Kaesang juga mengaku banyak orang yang tidak bisa membedakan mana dia dan mana kakaknya, Gibran. Maka tak heran saat turun ke masyarakat, tidak sedikit masyarakat yang memanggilnya Gibran.
“Beda. Kalau saya orangnya yang senyum. Nah kalau mas Gibran itu juga senyum, tapi cuma sedikit. Kalau kami di keluarga, mas Gibran adalah versi seriusnya Pak Jokowi, saya versi lucunya Pak Jokowi,” kata Kaesang.
