Called Zulhas Entering PAN, This Is Jokowi's Response

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) responded to the statement by the General Chairperson (Ketum) of PAN Zulkifli Hasan or Zulhas who said he had joined PAN.

Jokowi said that PAN is indeed a family in terms of a government coalition. This was conveyed by Jokowi after inaugurating the Ancol Sentiong Pump Station in North Jakarta, Monday, December 11.

"Look, PAN is part of the government coalition, so PAN is part of our family. If we become PAN's family, it's the same. PAN joins our family, we enter PAN's family," said Jokowi.

The President did not talk much about Zulhas' statement. However, Jokowi seemed to smile widely when reporters asked him questions about joining PAN.

Previously, PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan in a campaign in Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, said that President Joko Widodo's party is currently PAN.

Zulkifli said that Jokowi was no longer in his old party.
