JAKARTA - Social media activist Denny Siregar claims that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is not interested in the discourse that has been circulating regarding the extension of the term of office of the head of state to three terms.

Denny said Jokowi was reluctant to violate the constitution which stipulates the two-term presidential term limit because he no longer has ambitions in the government leadership contest.

"From the start, I predicted that Mr. @jokowi was not interested in 3 periods because his vision was already international, no longer national," said Denny on his Twitter account, @Dennysiregar7, Thursday 30 June.

Denny said Jokowi currently prefers to have a broad view. He claimed Jokowi wanted to serve as Secretary General of the United Nations (UN).

"His ambitions are high, so he becomes the Secretary General of the United Nations," said Denny.

Furthermore, Denny said that Jokowi only wants the successor to the Indonesian president to prioritize solving people's problems. Including the legacy that he has made, such as infrastructure development.

"He just wants the baton at this national level to be in the hands of the right people, so that his legacy can be continued," he said.

As for the three-term discourse that had been rolled out by a number of party elites, President Jokowi had rejected it. For the umpteenth time, Jokowi has emphasized that he has no intention of extending his term as head of state.

Jokowi emphasized this following the issue of an amendment to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia to increase the president's term of office.

"What else do I have to say? Back and forth, my attitude has not changed. I reiterate, I have no intention. I have no interest in becoming president for three terms. The constitution mandates two terms. We must protect it together," said Jokowi. at the State Palace, Jakarta, Monday, March 15.
