JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep denied the reason he distributed notebooks to residents in the Cempaka Putih area today had political intentions.

Despite bringing a group of PSI ranks, Kaesang emphasized that the activity was not campaigning amid the issue that he would run in the 2024 DKI Jakarta Governor and Deputy Governor Election (Pilgub).

"Yes, I live in Jakarta. Cook, I can't travel in Jakarta? Will I go to Grand Indonesia later, do you think I'm campaigning? Or not," said Kaesang when met in the Cempaka Putih area, Friday, June 14.

This similar activity was previously carried out by his older brother, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who distributed notebooks when he visited the state elementary school in Surabaya, some time ago. At that time, Gibran shared a book with a cover with a picture of his son, Jan Ethes.

However, the youngest son of President Joko Widodo emphasized that he did not imitate his brother's steps. Kaesang claims that he has been distributing notebooks for a long time.

"I went first. Maybe it was Gibran who imitated me," said Kaesang.

Seen, the notebook has the front cover that reads "teaching and reading crafts are my ninja road", and the name "Kaesang Pangarep" on the cover of the back side. It also says Kaesang's signature on the first page of the notebook.

The handover of the notebook was carried out after Kaesang performed Friday prayers at Al Huda Mosque, Cempaka Jaya Street. Kaesang nuga took the time to take pictures with residents.
