JAKARTA - Director of Survey and Polling Indonesia (Spin), Igor Dirgantara, suspects that PDIP wants to clear the influence of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo who is still left in the government of President Prabowo Subianto.
Because, recently PDIP has carried out a number of maneuvers to get rid of Jokowi's influence. One example is the report against the Minister of Cooperatives Budi Arie Setiadi to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police, because he was suspected of being involved in an online gambling case while still serving as Minister of Communication and Information in the era of Jokowi's administration.
"This influence from Jokowi is what I suspect is being eroded by PDIP, which is the political party that won the election and still has the potential to join the current government," he said, Friday, May 30, 2025.
According to Igor, Jokowi still has a strong influence in the Prabowo government. This is because there are a number of ministers in the Red and White Cabinet who incidentally are close people to Jokowi. This is what is considered to be the cause of the PDIP seeing that there are still Jokowi jokes in the Prabowo government through close people in the cabinet.

In addition, he also suspects that PDIP still has a grudge against Jokowi because it was considered a traitor in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres), so that political maneuvers to get rid of Jokowi's influence continue to be carried out. "Because in the eyes of the PDIP, Jokowi is now considered no longer an officer but as a traitor to the party," he added.
Therefore, Igor estimates that PDIP is helping President Prabowo to clean up Jokowi's legacy which has a negative impact. "Yes, there is a feel that PDIP is currently an antithese for Jokowi, because it is considered to be able to clean up Jokowi's legacy in Prabowo's cabinet, especially those that are considered detrimental, such as Budi Arie, who is suspected of being involved in online gambling cases," he said.
