On The 10th Anniversary Of NasDem, Surya Paloh Wishes: If The Constitution Doesn't Restrict, Jokowi Will Be Re-elected

JAKARTA - Chairman of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh, praised the leadership of President Joko Widodo during a speech commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the NasDem Party, Thursday, November 11 today.

During this pandemic, Jokowi succeeded in bringing Indonesia to be recognized as a stable country.

"We are grateful once again, under such skilled leadership, with open humility, willing to accept input, willing to accept criticism, willing to accept even insults, this nation today can stand upright and get appreciation from other nations", said Surya Paloh via Youtube NasDem TV which was monitored from Jakarta.

Since the beginning, NasDem has made an unconditional commitment to support Jokowi. Including dealing with the confusing situation ahead of the 2024 General Election.

Surya Paloh emphasized that 2 important tasks must be carried out by all NasDem cadres. First, consistently overseeing the administration of government so that it remains effective until the end of the term of office.

"This must be fully guarded, with all our commitment to the honesty of our hearts, our readiness", said Surya Paloh.

Next is to prepare for the continuity of future leadership. In this context, Surya Paloh presupposes that if the constitution does not limit the term of office of a president, then all NasDem cadres will already know who will be re-nominated.

"If only our constitution did not limit the president's term of office to only two times, I no longer need to answer the question of the cadres of this party, who is our next presidential candidate after Jokowi",

"Why is the rhythm the same, from top to bottom, from the leadership to the lowest cadre. The answer is one, yes, Jokowi will return", said Surya Paloh.

However, both Jokowi and NasDem are believed by Surya Paloh to have the same commitment and morality to respect the constitution.

For information, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) attended the commemoration of the 10th Anniversary of the NasDem Party at the NasDem Party's National Defense Academy (ABN) Building, Jakarta today.
