Bahkan saya dikasih hadiah, bersyukur banget buat diri saya.” Fitri, a resident from Padang, stated, “Saya rasanya ketemu sama Pak Presiden, salaman, dapat berjabat tangan langsung dengan Pak Presiden, rasanya bangga banget ya.” President Prabowo, accompanied by his son Didit Hediprasetyo, greeted citizens one by one, offering Idul Fitri greetings. He also welcomed sixth President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) with family members like AHY and Ibas, and seventh President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) with his family.

Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka also met the SBY group. This is an annual routine during Prabowo's presidency, with the palace open from afternoon to evening. Amid celebrations, Kapolri Listyo Sigit Prabowo reported Operasi Ketupat 2026 ran smoothly, with accidents down 3.23 percent and fatalities 24.61 percent.
