Ask His Supporter Not To Be Soon Determine The 2024 Presidential Candidate, Jokowi: Be Careful, Don't Get The Wrong Attitude

BANDUNG - President Joko Widodo requested that volunteers who have faithfully supported him for two periods of government not rush to determine support for one of the certain figures in the 2024 presidential election.

"Before coming here we spoke in the waiting room, many whispered to me, 'What kind of political sir is 2024, who do we support?' Once again, we must be united. We must 'kade' (hati), agree or not? Be careful. 'Effort gusuh', don't rush," said President Jokowi when opening the West Java People's Consultative Council (Musra) at GOR Arcamanik, Bandung City, West Java, quoted by Antara, Sunday, August 28.

The People's Consultative Assembly (Musra) was held in 34 provinces by volunteers Pro Jokowi (Projo) with the agenda of discussing the figures of presidential and vice presidential candidates of the people's choice.

"Don't be wrong in determining who, agree? I entrust it again, be careful, be careful, be in a hurry. Don't rush. I'll repeat it again. Use it again. Don't be mistaken, make no mistake in determining your attitude, do you agree or not?" asked the President.

The question was answered with "Agreed" by the volunteers.

"Then someone asks again, who is sir?" said the President.

When President Jokowi asked about this, a number of voices appeared "Jokowi, Jokowi".

"Yes, later this forum, Musra, is asked who. Jokowi, Jokowi. The constitution does not allow it. It is clear. Yes, once again I will always obey the constitution and the will of the people. I will obey the constitution and the will of the people," said the President.

Hearing this, the crowd again shouted the name "Jokowi" while applauding.

"Later, if you have found anyone in this musra, please listen to me. Is this the people's forum, can the people speak, right? This is because this country is a democratic country," said the President.

The President also said that the proposal for him to run again in 2024 was only a discourse.

"Don't let anyone talk about 3 periods, we're already busy. That's the discourse, right? It's okay for people to express their opinions, people if someone says 'change the president', right? 'Jokowi resigns', right, right," said the President.

However, according to the President, these proposals are only a discourse that will not necessarily be carried out.

"This is said to be a democratic country, right, the discourse is okay. The most important thing is that I remind you in expressing opinions, expressing aspirations, not anarchic," added the President.

The President then asked one of the volunteers to go to the stage.

"My name is Jeni," said a volunteer who was invited to the stage.

"Mrs. Jeni, who do you want to choose from?" asked the President.

"Mr. Jokowi, Mr. Jokowi again," replied Jeni.

"Wong has been informed that the constitution is not allowed," said the President.

"People expect you," said Jeni, who came from Bandung.

"Well, this is my jacket, it's new. I just went from Bogor to here, I gave it to Mrs. Jeni. This is not just a G20 jacket, anyone can wear it," said the President.

According to the committee, West Java's Musra 1 will be attended by thousands of people from West Java who come from various elements, such as workers, fishermen, farmers, people with disabilities and other communities.

Musra 1 West Java is a series of activities for the Indonesian Musra which are held in a marathon in 34 provinces in Indonesia. Musra Indonesia will last until March 23, 2023.
