Jokowi Reminds Volunteers, Don't Be Baper During The 2024 Election

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said the political atmosphere began to warm up as the General Election (Pemilu) 2024 grew closer. Volunteers were asked not to 'play' and maintain the atmosphere of a peaceful democratic party.

"Then, entering the 2024 political year. It's getting warm. Maybe it will heat up a little bit but we have to work together to keep this election cool, peaceful," said Jokowi in his remarks at the Projo National Working Meeting, at the Bung Karno Gelora Arena, Senayan, Jakarta, Saturday, October 14.

Volunteers are also asked not to play against each other or spread unclear issues. Jokowi emphasized that differences in choice are a natural thing and should not be used as an excuse to fight each other.

"Don't let the difference in choice disturb us, don't let it and don't get hurt," he said.

"A little bit of baperan, a little bit of it is hurt. What will happen will be angry there, angry there, angry there, hate there, hate there, hate there, what are we? We are brothers and sisters," continued Jokowi.

On the previous occasion, Jokowi had asked volunteers to be selective in making choices. However, it is stated that Indonesia needs a leader who doesn't talk much. However, continue to work tirelessly for the nation and state.

"Once again, people need leaders who don't talk much, but have a lot of work. Those who want to work for their people, who want to work for their nation, who want to work for their country," said Jokowi.

In addition, Indonesian leaders must also have great courage in the face of pressure from other countries.

The character or personality must be possessed by a leader because Indonesia will face enormous challenges.

"Those who don't give up easily, just press down, just press down, don't. We need once again a leader who has great guts, because the challenges we face are more complex and remember, remember, our leader, our President, has a responsibility to carry a large Indonesian ship whose population is already 278 million," he explained.
