JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is rumored to be joining the Golkar Party after stepping down from his position. PDI-P politician Andreas Hugo Pareira admitted that he was not surprised to hear the news because he already knew about Jokowi's behavior.

According to him, Jokowi's behavior in wanting to'move houses' was seen before the 2024 General Election when the former furniture entrepreneur made jokes. First, with the discourse of extending the presidential term.

"Starting with efforts to extend power, efforts to increase the term of office for 3 terms, increase the number of positions by 2-3 years, but these two efforts were unsuccessful," Andreas said when contacted, Monday, March 11.

Second, the effort to pass his eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka as a vice presidential candidate to accompany Prabowo Subianto. Where the Constitutional Court (MK) through its decision changed the rules for the minimum age of the vice presidential candidate.

"The drama series of girls then switched to 'labrak' the Presidential Election Law concerning the 40 year age limit through Uncle Usman's (Anwar Usman) hand in the Constitutional Court, and made Gibran's son Prabowo Subianto's vice presidential candidate," he continued.

Third, the alleged intervention using all of his power to win candidate pair number 2, Prabowo Subianto - Gibran Rakabuming Raka. So that this pair can win in one round of the presidential election.

"The sequel, which we are currently paying attention to, even though the Pilleg round of the presidential election has not yet been completed, Jokowi has swiftly and agilely prepared the following round series to take advantage of political instruments, which can be ridden to remain in power," Andreas explained.
