BANDUNG - President Joko Widodo admitted that he wanted to be informed of the name of the figure who would be supported as a presidential candidate for the 2024 General Election from the results of the decision of the People's Consultative Forum (Musra) I.

He said this while attending the Musra I which was held in West Java. "Later, when we meet in Musra, we will help," Jokowi said in a speech at the West Java Musra I at SPORT Arcamanik, Bandung, West Java, Sunday, August 28.

Jokowi views that the forum held by his volunteer group is where people express their aspirations. This is also allowed because Indonesia adheres to the principle of democracy.

"Because this is a forum for the people. It's okay for the people to speak up. Because this country is a democratic country," said Jokowi.

Jokowi said that in a democratic country, the discourse on developing in society is allowed. What is clear is that these aspirations do not create anarchism.

Moreover, similar voices have previously been echoed. Jokowi gave an example, such as the discourse of the president for three terms to replace the president.

"Don't let anyone just say '3 terms' already crowded. That's the discourse. It's okay for people to express their opinions. Wong, someone said 'change president', right? Yes, it's not? 'Jokowi resigns', right," he said.

"This is said to be a democratic country, it's a discourse arrangement. Most importantly, I remind you in expressing opinions, aspirations, not anarchic," Jokowi continued.

As is known, Musra was held by 17 national volunteer groups, Joko Widodo. Apart from Bandung, West Java, it is planned that Musra will also be held in all provinces until 2023.

Later, every citizen who attends the Musra is welcome to express their aspirations in front of the forum related to Indonesia's hopes in the future and convey the desired leader criteria.
