JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said everyone has political and democratic rights, including himself and the ministers. He even said the president could take sides and campaign.
The right of democracy, the political rights of every minister are the same. The important thing is that the president may campaign. The president may take sides. Yes," President Jokowi told reporters in Jakarta, Wednesday, January 24.
Jokowi said that as a public official, he and the ministers could do politics. However, what must be remembered is that state facilities should not be used other than for their work.
"But the most important thing is that during campaign time you can't use state facilities," he said.

"We are public officials as well as political officials. You can't do this, you can't do politics, you can't. The Minister is also allowed," Jokowi continued.
Even so, Jokowi did not explain much about the certainty of no conflict of interest if the president and ministers sided with certain pairs in the 2024 presidential election. He only said that the law only prohibits the use of state facilities.
"That's all, the one who arranges it can't only use state facilities. That's all," he concluded.
