Bahlil: There Is No Request For Jokowi To Enter Golkar

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Golkar Party DPP Bahlil Lahadalia admitted that until now his party had not received a request from President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to join his party.

"Until today, Mr. President Jokowi has never conveyed his entry to the Golkar Party," Bahlil said as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, September 20.

On various occasions when meeting Jokowi, Bahlil had never discussed the plan to enter Jokowi into the Golkar Party.

In fact, at the time of the end of the government with Ma'ruf Amin, Jokowi also never discussed plans to join the Golkar Party.

The same thing, continued Bahlil, also applies to Jokowi's eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka who is also a elected vice presidential candidate in the 2024 election.

"If Mas Kaesang's family is the General Chair of PSI. Mas Gibran, until today you know his party? No... the same as me," said Bahlil.

However, Bahlil ensured that the Golkar Party remained open to all parties who wanted to become members.
