JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo said that the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) had a great opportunity to gain the voices of young people by innovating in the digital space.

"I see that as a political party, PSI has a great opportunity to innovate in the digital space that is currently rife everywhere," President Jokowi said in Jakarta quoted by Antara, Wednesday, December 22.

President Jokowi conveyed this at the PSI 7th Anniversary Commemoration event in 2021 which was also attended by Minister of State Secretary Pratikno, Agrarian and Spatial Planning of Indonesia/Deputy Head of the National Land Agency Surya Tjandra who is also a PSI cadre, PSI General Chair Giring Ganesha and PSI Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Trustees Grace Natalie and other PSI administrators.

"This includes innovating to offer Indonesia's democratic ecosystem that is more 'compatible' with the demands of the times and changes to win Indonesia in a world full of disruption and 'hyper' competition, to build our country," added the President.

Moreover, according to President Jokowi, 52 percent of the voters in the general election in Indonesia are young people.

"This is PSI's market, so I was really happy because we have to really master the use of technology to accommodate the aspirations under what kind, we must have a platform on how technology helps political parties to help aggregate public interests," said the President.

President Jokowi said that until now he had never found a digital "platform" that could massively reach people's aspirations.

"If you can enter the 'platform' to the community, build new organizational models, organizations based on 'platforms' and applications, everyone here is smart. We are challenged to carry out this digital transformation," continued the President.

With PSI's current capital, President Jokowi is optimistic that PSI can become a major party.

"After seeing sis Grace and bro Giring, I am optimistic that PSI will become a big party. It has differentiation, has a difference, has 'branding' for young people and earlier if platforms and applications really go down, once again the jump will be very fast," said Jokowi.

In his speech, Giring claimed PSI was the first party to fully utilize the application for cadre schools. Giring also said PSI has a "Solidarity" application to monitor the performance of DPRD members from PSI and conduct online meetings with cadres in the regions.

Don't miss using the "space" facility on Twitter to listen to people's aspirations.

Meanwhile, PSI Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Trustees Grace Natalie invited PSI cadres to work hard so that the party can pass to the DPR.

"PSI must pass to Senayan. We will make a noise in Senayan, so that the people's money will not continue to be robbed by robbers using the guise of 'people's representatives'," said Grace.
