SEMARANG - Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep responded casually about the direction of the coalition of parties he led in the 2024 Presidential and Vice Presidential Election contestation. "Not yet. There is still time. There are still 3 days, 4 days. Just relax," said Kaesang Pangarep after the Consolidation of PSI Candidates and Management throughout Central Java in Semarang, Antara, Sunday, October 22. The youngest son of the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, also did not target the grandiose acquisition of seats in Central Java, the province, which has been known as the bull's cage. "Yes, the target, yes, it's not just grandiose, the important thing is to enter," he said. However, Kaesang is also reluctant to divulge his party's strategy in dealing with the General Election (Pemilu) and the 2024 presidential election with maximum results, especially in Central Java. "Strategi kalau saya bicarin di sini nanti digunakan sama yang lain," ujarnya lantas terawat. Asked about the possibility of Gibran Rakabuming Raka joining PSI, he also admitted that he did not know and returned the decision to his older brother to join. Moreover, he said, Gibran had also been offered to join the Golkar Party. "Yes, I don't know, if we come back again. Yesterday, Pak Airlangga was offered to go to Golkar. Yes, if we go to PSI, thank God, if not, yes, that's it," he concluded. Meanwhile, PSI Board of Trustees Giring Ganesha Djumaryo also admitted that he had not received any direction from the general chairman regarding the direction of the coalition ahead of the 2024 presidential election. "I haven't received any directions from Mas Ketum. Mas Ketum, how many days have you been traveling around West Java, my wife and I are traveling around Central Java 5," he said.

Regarding the target seat in Central Java, Giring is optimistic that PSI can reach one faction in each district / city DPRD.
