JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Giring Ganesha answered various criticisms from the elite about playing appointing other parties to become PSI chairman. For him, what is currently running at PSI is actually relevant to the spirit of the times. "It may not be uncommon in the midst of many parties whose party's highest position does not change. But the fact is that in PSI. The structure is about how we achieve our common goals, we can fight back according to the party's strategic needs. So it is always relevant to the spirit of the times," said Giring in an electronic message received by journalists in Jakarta, Monday, September 25. Giring said that he recommended the figure of Kaesang Pangarep, who had just joined PSI, to become the general chairman to replace him. At the Plenary Meeting of KOPDARNAS tonight, Giring will ask the supervisory board to ratify Kaesang as General Chair. "I've said 'It's time to return this party to its real owner.' At that time I had submitted a recommendation to the party, that the young man was Mas Kaesang Pangarep. So there was no sudden or impromptu succession at PSI. Everything is in accordance with the organizational mechanism," he said. Giring said that he had been in intense communication with Kaesang and PSI cadres in the regions for the past three months.

"The spirit of PSI must pass to Senayan in the upcoming 2024 General Election. That is the aspiration of all cadres in PSI," he said.
