Jokowi Invites Mall Visitors to Have Coffee with Ahmad Luthfi

JAKARTA - Residents of Purwokerto, Banyumas Regency were surprised by the presence of the 7th former President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and the Central Java Gubernatorial Candidate Ahmad Luthfi at a coffee shop.

The presence of Jokowi and the Central Java Gubernatorial Candidate number 2 immediately became a magnet for visitors to the largest mall in Purwokerto.

"Let's have some coffee...," said Jokowi to reporters, Friday, November 15, 2024.

He also said that he chose coffee late when sitting with Ahmad Luthfi while chatting. While chatting, mall visitors took turns asking for selfies.

Hundreds of visitors crowded around Jokowi and Ahmad Luthfi even though they both went down to the 1st floor of the mall.

"Mr. Jokowi, let's take a photo," shouted one of the residents.

Old, young, mothers, fathers, even children, some of whom were still wearing scout uniforms, did the same thing, asking for selfies.

The commotion grew as Jokowi and Ahmad Luthfi arrived at the mall exit. More and more residents crowded around to get free T-shirts from Jokowi.

A coffee waitress named Ayuni (22) admitted to being surprised by the arrival of Jokowi and Ahmad Luthfi. She never expected the former number 1 person in Indonesia to come to Rita Supermall and even buy coffee at the outlet she guards.

"I was surprised to see Mr. Jokowi and Mr. Luthfi. I was so happy. I asked for a selfie earlier. I didn't imagine Mr. Jokowi would come here, and I made coffee for him and Mr. Luthfi," she said happily.

The same thing was felt by Marina (25). She and her two friends were shocked to hear that Jokowi and Ahmad Luthfi were there. The three of them immediately rushed over and wanted to take a photo together.

“Mr. Jokowi, can I take a photo with you?” She said half-shouting.
