Prabowo and Daud Yordan Exchange Boxing-Style Gestures at DPR Plenary

The meeting took place at the MPR/DPR/DPD RI building in Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday, 20 May 2026. Prabowo attended the DPR plenary session to outline the macroeconomic framework (KER) and the main policy of fiscal policy (PPKF) for the RAPBN 2027.

In the video circulating, Prabowo and Daud were seen in a parliamentary corridor. Both wore formal suits. Daud was waiting as Prabowo approached him, and he delivered a boxing gesture toward the President. Unexpectedly, Prabowo returned the gesture as he drew closer. The display elicited laughter from onlookers.

Prabowo then embraced Daud, patting his shoulder as they spoke briefly. Daud described the moment as a joke, saying Prabowo is, after all, an old friend.

“The interesting thing is that I seem to be the only boxer who dares to invite the President to a fight in a playful style,” Daud told reporters. “And only the President is brave enough to accept it and play along because he is my longtime friend,” he added.
