JAKARTA - The 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) called President Prabowo Subianto the strongest leader. He did not see any figure who dared to criticize the General Chair of the Gerindra Party.

This was conveyed by Jokowi in his remarks during the 17th Anniversary of the Gerindra Party in Sentul, West Java, Saturday, February 15, 2025. Jokowi even admitted that he was actually an easy target for critics.

"Try to check all the presidents in the world. Currently, nothing is as strong as Mr. Prabowo Subianto," said Jokowi.

"So strong, until now I have not seen anyone dare to criticize. The target is Jokowi because of the strongness of President Prabowo Subianto. A little bit is wrong for Jokowi," he continued.

Jokowi called the former Minister of Defense the president who received the strongest support from the people and parliament.

"Try to blame Mr. Prabowo once, don't dare," said the former governor of Jakarta.

On that occasion, Jokowi apologized to Prabowo for defeating him twice in the 2014 and 2019 presidential elections. However, he saw that his successor had a very tested determination.

"The proof is that many times the defeat continues to advance and eventually progress," he said.

In the future, Prabowo is believed to be making the Gerindra Party even bigger. Moreover, the current government has started to carry out various well-planned programs.

In addition, Prabowo is also said to have a leadership style such as a Gerinda machine which is usually used to smooth wood. According to him, this method is very unique and good to apply in Indonesia.

"I see that Pak Prabowo's leadership is similar to the engine of the machine earlier. What can be smoothed, smoothed. Those that cannot be smoothed are invited to continue, embraced."

"Everything is invited. I see Pak Prabowo's leadership is very unique and very good for our country," said Jokowi.
