Jokowi considers Projo's support can make him take the lead again in a period of his two powers. Even though Projo's influence and way of working has been criticized by many parties.

"I believe that the Projo volunteers are not cardboard volunteers, really volunteers who (have) militancy, have a high fighting spirit, want to participate in improving this country. This (direction) is so that fellow volunteers have enthusiasm, have high militancy, they want to do good for the country. .

"From the beginning, we always expressed optimism, conveyed programs, conveyed what we had done. I think this is indeed once again, this contestation must be filled with program contestations, program competitions, idea competitions, ideas. I think this will be wary of and finalize ways of politics in the community," said Jokowi as quoted by the website. , September 16, 2018.
