JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is confirmed not to attend the V PDI Perjuangan National Working Meeting (Rakernas) in Ancol, Jakarta on May 24-26, 2024. This was revealed by Plt. Deputy for Protocol, Press and Media of the Presidential Secretariat M. Yusuf Permana. He said Jokowi was in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). "Internal activities at the Yogyakarta Palace," Yusuf said via text message to reporters in Jakarta, Antara, Friday, May 24. Previously, the PDI-P had informed that it would not invite President Jokowi and Vice President Ma'ruf Amin to the National Working Meeting. "But what is clear is that the president and vice president were not invited," said PDI-P DPP chairman Djarot Syaiful Hidayat during the PDI-P National Working Meeting Press Conference at the PDI-P DPP Office, Jakarta, Thursday, May 16. He explained that the president and vice president were very busy with state affairs, so it was impossible to add to their busy schedule. "Why? Because he is already very busy," he said. Not only that, Djarot emphasized that the PDI-P National Working Meeting V was only intended for internal parties. Meanwhile, the PDIP National Working Meeting V raised the theme "Satyam Eva Jayate, Truth Must Win" with the sub-them "The Power of People's Unity, The Way Of Truth That Is Working".

PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri is scheduled to deliver a political speech on the first day of the National Working Meeting at the Ancol Beach City International Stadium, Jakarta, Friday today.
