JAKARTA - Cabinet Secretary Minister (Mensekab) Pramono Anung stated that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) will not promote or endorse certain candidates in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).

This was conveyed by Pramono in response to President Jokowi's statement who had admitted that he would mess or interfere in the 2024 presidential election. This moment occurred when he met with media leaders at the Merdeka Palace on Monday, May 29.

"No, no. The president will not endorse it," said Pramono at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 30.

"The jokes are not to provide support to anyone but to make the democratic climate run better and not violate any regulations," he continued.

Pramono said, Jokowi felt the need to go directly to ensure that whoever wins can continue his work program. One thing Jokowi wants to continue is the downstream policy to the construction of a new capital city in Kalimantan.

"Because IKN has indeed received extraordinary enthusiasm from investors from abroad," said Pramono.

It is known that President Joko Widodo met with editor-in-chief of the mass media as well as media activists at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta. The conversation was held for about 2 hours and was attended by Minister of State Secretariat Pratikno and also Deputy for Protocol, Press and Media of the Presidential Secretariat, Bey Machmudin.

During the meeting, Jokowi admitted that he would participate in political problems in the 2024 General Election. However, this step is not for personal or group interests, but to ensure that development in his government is currently being continued by the next head of state.
