JAKARTA Memories of today, nine years ago, April 13, 2014, the General Chair of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), Megawati Soekarnoputri is sad to see the physical condition of the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Joko Widodo. He said he was embarrassed if Jokowi was too thin.

Jokowi asked him to eat a lot. Megawati said the narrative when attending the formation of the Indonesian Farmers' Movement (GANTI) in Muara Angke, North Jakarta. Previously, the relationship between Megawati and Jokowi was too close. Megawati is like a political teacher.

Joko Widodo's presence in the Indonesian political map did not just happen. He has been transformed into a potential PDIP cadre since becoming Mayor of Solo. Alias Jokowi is a large politician from the womb of the party bearing the bull symbol.

Megawati Soekarnoputri agreed to this narrative. He was able to see the potential that Jokowi had. At that time, he saw that Jakarta did need a leader who had the capacity to comply with city planning matters. Megawati then gave Jokowi's blessing to try out the political contestation of the DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election.

Jokowi was accompanied by Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok). The duet is actually able to shine. The majority of Jakarta residents chose both as the Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta for the 2012-2017 period.

The results are brilliant. Jakarta has cleaned up a lot. Jokowi received all kinds of input in leading Jakarta. His action here and there is proof. He often goes directly to see the condition of the residents of Jakarta. All kinds of problems he found during blusukan became Jokowi's provision to make policies that favor the people. Megawati also admitted that she saluted this.

"Moreover, Jokowi's relationship and closeness with Megawati Soekarnoputri. Without Megawati, Jokowi may find it difficult to understand that today's political dynamics are a very long process. Megawati is a figure who has gone through the prosès and dynamics since her appearance on the political stage in the early 1990s," said Darmawan Prasodjo in Jokowi's book Realizing Indonesian Dreams (2021).

Megawati also praised Jokowi's active thinking about the fate of Jakarta residents. Moreover, Jokowi often does blusukan from village to village. However, Megawati felt that Jokowi had to eat a lot often. Even though Jokowi is not good at eating.

Megawati then commented on Jokowi's physical condition who only thought about the people at the GANTI designation event in Muara Angke, Main Jakarta on April 13, 2014. Megawati said she was embarrassed to have a thin governor. He wanted to see Jokowi grow fat.

Jokowi is actually not good at eating. He was strong enough to hold back hunger even though he worked for hours. It's natural that his body is thin. Megawati also mentioned Jokowi Si Kerempeng. Megawati repeatedly advised Jokowi to eat a lot so he was fat.

"Megawati said that she was ashamed that I had a governor who was thin. Pak Jokowi was getting thinner day by day. Megawati revealed the narrative when giving a speech for the formation of the Indonesian Farmers' Movement in Muara Angke, North Jakarta, April 13, 2014. Not wanting Jokowi to be thinner, Megawati often invited Jokowi to eat," explained Bimo Nugroho in the book Indonesia choosing Jokowi (2014).
