JAKARTA - Political observer from Paramadina University, Hendri Satrio, responded to the attitude of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) who was considered to have made his choice to provide support for the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).
This support was implied when Jokowi attended the V Projo National Work Meeting in Magelang, Central Java. The event was also attended by the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo.
According to Hendri, Jokowi should have been wiser by not revealing his support for certain figures who will run as presidential candidates in 2024.
"President Jokowi should not need to support anyone. Let the contestants compete," said Hendri when contacted, Monday, May 23.
Hendri assessed that Jokowi's attitude was wrong as a state leader. Because the president should be neutral.
"The president should not direct support," he said.
Even so, the founder of KedaiKOPI understands the meaning of Jokowi's message. Namely, to dampen the strong desire of Projo volunteers to advance Ganjar in the 2024 presidential election.
On the other hand, said Hendri, Jokowi's support is still hampered because PDIP is said to be carrying Puan Maharani.
"Pak Jokowi's party (PDIP) has not yet determined a presidential candidate. So he asked the volunteers to be patient so that he is not trapped in an inappropriate situation. Stuck in the middle between the volunteers and the party," he concluded.
