JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep is increasingly optimistic that the party, which is synonymous with young people, will win the seat of the Indonesian House of Representatives after the support from five retired TNI generals.

The retired TNI who called themselves the Pandava Lima were Major General TNI Retired. Bambang Supardi, Major General TNI Retired. Gumuruh Winarjatmiko, Major General TNI Retired. Jubai Levianto, Brigadier General Retired. Aufit Chaniago, and Brigadier General Retired. Suranto.

"I would like to thank the retired generals who are willing and willing to join the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI). As general chairmen, God willing, in the 2024 General Election we will qualify for Senayan," said Kaesang in a written statement quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, February 10.

Kaesang admitted that the input from retired generals who are rich in experience is very important for PSI to be able to exceed the parliamentary threshold.

"Lolos to Senayan, we need to name it advice, enter it, especially from senior men who are already poor across the world of service to the country," he said.

Meanwhile, Bambang revealed three reasons why his party chose PSI over other parties. First, because PSI is a true nationalist party.

"PSI accommodates all components of the nation without distinguishing ethnicity, race and religion," said Major General TNI Purn. Bambang.

It was also revealed that PSI is filled with young people who are intelligent, honest, great, and dignified. They are suitable to be leaders from 2030 to 2045 towards Golden Indonesia.

Third, he continued, PSI supports the Prabowo-Gibran pair. Prabowo is a retired TNI and Gibran are representatives of the great younger generation who will continue the development program of Indonesian President Joko Widodo towards Golden Indonesia.
