JAKARTA - Chairman of the DPP PDI Perjuangan (PDIP), Djarot Saiful Hidayat, said his party would be more solid even though the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, plans to travel to a number of regions to meet with the cadres of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI).
"With him going to several regions, our party is getting stronger to build the party's internal and getting stronger to go down to the community," said Djarot in North Jakarta, Saturday.
According to him, Jokowi's plan to visit various regions will not affect the internal consolidation of the PDI-P. On the contrary, it is considered to strengthen the spirit of the party cadres.
Djarot also hopes that Jokowi can provide an explanation regarding the controversy over the authenticity of the diploma, which is still a concern for some people.
"Please, he can go anywhere. However, he must also be able to explain and show his diploma so that the public is really convinced that the diploma is genuine. Just show the diploma," he said.
Previously, Jokowi said he would visit a number of areas to fulfill community invitations.
In the initial phase, several areas that will be visited include Lampung, East Nusa Tenggara, and West Java.
Jokowi explained that the visit was also used to meet volunteers and PSI cadres in the region.
"I am healthy and will attend the invitations that are there. It is also to give motivation, meet PSI in the region, and meet volunteers in the region because there are invitations," he said.
When asked whether the visit was related to preparations for the 2029 Presidential Election, Jokowi did not give a clear answer. "Because there is an invitation in the area," he said.
