JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo responded to the proposal or discourse to revive the Supreme Advisory Council which will contain the previous presidents and vice presidents of the Republic of Indonesia.

President Jokowi said that currently he is still the President of the Republic of Indonesia.

"I'm still the President for another six months, you know," said President Jokowi on the sidelines of a working visit in Konawe, Southeast Sulawesi, Tuesday.

Jokowi emphasized that until now he is still focused on working for the people as a President.

"Still president today. Now it's still working like this, (how come) asked," he said.

Previously, the Chairman of the MPR RI Bambang Soesatyo suggested that the discourse on the formation of the "Presidential Club" which was conveyed by the President-elect Prabowo Subianto be formalized as the Supreme Advisory Council (DPA).

"I only said that if we want to be formalized, we once had a DPA, but after the reform, it was deleted, replaced by the name of the Presidential Advisory Council, Wantimpres. Yes, if you want it to be formalized again, how about it, yes, it's okay, it depends on Prabowo, but it has to go through of course the fifth amendment (UUD 1945)," said Bamsoet some time ago.

He said that if Prabowo wanted the DPA to be revived, it would be filled by the former President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia.
