JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) had asked the Golkar Party not to be reckless in carrying out presidential candidates (candidates) in the 2024 General Election. He said whoever the presidential and vice presidential candidates must be chosen carefully.

This directive turned out to have received a positive signal from the General Chair of the Golkar Party DPP Airlangga Hartarto. He said his party would follow the direction of President Jokowi. "The President said be careful, don't be reckless, don't be emotional, this is his emotions so that we don't go down recklessly, we choose the right one," said Airlangga during the handover of an electric car to 37 Golkar DPD chairmen at the Golkar DPP Office, Slipi, Jakarta, as quoted from Antara, Saturday, October 22. He stated that Golkar and the party that are members of the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) will look for the right candidate.

Previously, President Jokowi believed that the Golkar Party would be careful in making choices. This was conveyed by him by attending the peak event of the 58th Anniversary of the Golkar Party at Hall C, Jiexpo Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, Friday, October 21 night. "I am sure, I believe, Golkar will carefully, carefully, will carefully, not recklessly declare presidential and vice presidential candidates in 2024," said President Jokowi.

Until now, only one political party has announced the name of the presidential candidate, namely the NasDem Party. They carried the Governor of DKI Jakarta for the 2017-2022 period Anies Baswedan in the 2024 Presidential Election. "Even though I saw earlier that all Mr. Airlangga Hartarto shouted and I believe that what the Golkar Party, presidential and vice presidential candidates will choose are the right figures," added the President. The entire Indonesian people and the presidential election chose pilots and co-pilots. This is not easy right now," he said.
