The Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep asked Jokowi volunteers in Medan, North Sumatra, to continue to move to win the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

"Now the task is to win Pak Prabowo and Mas Gibran, just choose to win two rounds or one round," said Kaesang in a meeting with North Sumatra Jokowi Volunteers in Medan as reported by ANTARA, Monday, November 13.

"But indeed one round is not an easy thing, volunteers must move to introduce Pak Prabowo and Gibran," he said.

The task of volunteers, he said, was to go to the community to introduce what role Prabowo Subianto had done as Minister of Defense and Gibran Rakabuming Raka as Mayor of Solo, Central Java.

"This must be told to the public so that the public knows what Pak Prabowo and Mas Gibran do so that they can trust them more to vote," said Kaesang.

He conveyed that many of the PSI candidates came from communities such as the Jokowi Volunteer Community, Gibran House, Jokowi Underline Volunteers, Bobby Volunteers, the Chinese Indonesian Community, and others.

"Please all of you here, we ask for your support, support and prayers so that later we can get at least 10 percent," he said.
