WONOSOBO - Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep was greeted by Lengger Dance while doing a political safari to Wonosobo, Central Java.

Arriving at the Selomerto Market, Kaesang and his entourage were greeted by hundreds of residents who had been waiting for their arrival. The dancers who were preparing then began to perform their dances when Kaesang entered the venue.

Lengger dance is a traditional dance typical of Wonosobo Region, Central Java. The moderator of the show said that the word "lengger" of the dance name comes from the word "eling" which means remembering, and "ngger" which is a term for a child.

The word "lengger" from the name of the dance gives a message of advice to always remember God the Creator.

After watching the dance performance, Kaesang then introduced himself. He also expressed his gratitude for being given the opportunity to greet the residents.

"Thank you everyone, for giving me the opportunity to at least speak here," said Kaesang as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, December 18.

After greeting the residents, Kaesang and his wife, Erina Gudono, also took the time to take pictures with residents and distribute notebooks to the children who were also present to watch the show.

Kaesang's visit and PSI's DPP to Wonosobo were part of the political safari to 12 cities in Central Java from 16-20 December 2023 to absorb people's aspirations while withdrawing their support.

Before going to Central Java, Kaesang also conducted a political safari to Medan, Kupang (East Nusa Tenggara), Manado (North Sulawesi), Bandung (West Java), and several areas in Java and Jakarta.
