JAKARTA - Volunteers have often asked President Jokowi about the figure of a presidential candidate that he will support in the 2024 General Election. However, the President is always silent. Although answering, the narrative presented must be ambiguous.

Like when meeting his volunteers at Gelora Tambaksari, Surabaya, East Java on August 21, 2022. Jokowi just said, Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. Ojo is wrong, is it slow to be stressed? Ojo is annoyed, huh? Relaxing on a political matter."

Likewise for the Jokowi National Secretariat volunteers who met him at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Monday (12/9). The President even did not want to talk about this.

"As usual, he always borrows about it (the presidential candidate in the 2024 election)," said Jokowi's General Chairperson, Rambun Tjajo.

What the President said, said Rambun, was only related to the continuity of government programs. If the current program can continue until 2030, then Indonesia can become a semi-forward country.

This is what we must both oversee. It's not about the person, but the program. Don't change leaders, change programs. So, we are just moving on the spot," said Rambun conveying a message from the President.

After receiving the news of the inauguration of the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia 2019-2024 in Senayan, Jakarta on October 20, 2019, President Jokowi then gave a speech, describing five work programs that will be carried out with Vice President M'aruf Amin, namely:

Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) has also revealed the continuity of the government's program while serving as president for the second period of 2009-2014. He did not hesitate to continue the programs of the previous president which were beneficial for the progress of the nation.

What has been done by the predecessor, policy or program that we must continue, must be continued. There should be no fever when the government stops all policies and programs are then thrown awaywast away. We will be a losing nation.

SBY said it was at the Halal bihalal event for First Lady Ani Yudhoyono with the management (United Indonesia Cabinet Issuance) SIKIB at the State Palace on September 13, 2011.

All presidents who have led Indonesia certainly want to do what is best for the nation and state. On the other hand, change and times are unavoidable. That's why, sometimes it takes transformation or reform.

However, that does not mean that everything changes or replaces. Reform must also be interpreted by maintaining sustainability, preserving, maintaining what is clearly still relevant and good for this life," said SBY.
