Secretary General of the PDI-P Hasto Kristiyanto assessed that it was important for a leader to carry out the mandate of the people. This was conveyed by Hasto in response to the polemic of impeaching President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) by a number of groups. He said that this kind of issue would not circulate if leaders were deemed capable of maintaining trust and working as well as possible. The important thing for a leader must be carried out according to the mandate for the people. When the leader carries out his duties, there will be no issues related to the impeachment, ” Hasto told reporters at the Media Center TPN Ganjar-Mahfud, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, January 17. Hasto hopes that this impeachment issue can be responded to immediately to prevent massive movements from the community. This is because this kind of effort can pose various political risks. "No matter how political impeachment is, it has a political risk and we hope that this is a critical mechanism so that it can be responded to as well as possible," said the Secretary of the TPN Ganjar-Mahfud. In addition, the government can also respond to the issue of impeachment by keeping the 2024 election fair and full of neutrality. Hasto said that it is important that these two things are shown so that the future democratic party will become President Jokowi's legacy even though it is considered difficult to materialize. Hasto said this difficulty arose because President Jokowi's son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, also participated in the 2024 presidential election as the number two vice presidential candidate (cawapres) with Prabowo Subianto. The participation of the Mayor of Solo is considered to make a mistake. "“Persepsi yang muncul di kalangan rakyat sulit untuk mengharapkan adanya neutralitas dari aparatur negara, karena kaccuan di dalam menyebarkan Mas Gibran sebagai calon wakil presiden dan juga sekaligus anak dari Presiden Jokowi,” ujarnya. However, Hasto said the proof could still be done before the voting was made. “ There are still 26 days ahead to change a policy of each other leader's words and actions, "” he said.

"“So that elections can run well by placing sovereignty in the hands of the people without intervention in power without intimidation," concluded Hasto.
