JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the National Mandate Party (PAN) Viva Yoga Mauladi, assessed that the discourse on a three-term presidential term no longer needs to be debated. The reason is that President Joko Widodo has repeatedly rejected the extension firmly.

"The president's attitude is clear, clear, constitutional and recorded by the public," said Viva when contacted, Monday, September 6. Viva emphasized that PAN fully supports President Jokowi's stance against the term of office. Not only that, he said, Jokowi even rejected the amendments to the 1945 Constitution if the aim was to change the presidential term.

It has started to subside, the Chairman of the Syuro Council of the Ummat Party, Amien Rais, reminded again about the discourse of extending the presidential term of office to 3 terms. He said that the plan to amend the 1945 Constitution had been discussed since 2019.

Amien Rais also revealed the parties who discussed and raised the discourse.

"Indeed, the amendment plan (to the 1945 Constitution, regarding the presidential term) has been discussed since 2019 by pro-Jokowi figures," said Amien Rais when delivering his speech on political tausyiah at the Virtual Tumpengan Legalization of the Ummat Party Legal Entity, Sunday, August 5. Then, continued Amien, they deliberately lowered the issue to see the public's assessment. According to him, the party who threw the issue was also not the party he called a formal supporter. He also mentioned PDIP. “Suddenly this issue has gone down, as if it has gone quiet. After that, PDIP friends were appointed again, especially those who were not official PDIP, non-formal supporters. There are individuals who get the task of testing on the water," said Amien.
