"It is not true that the President offered Kaesang's name to the parties. The President did not interfere with the regional elections anywhere. The issue of regional elections is the party's domain," Grace said via a short message to reporters in Jakarta, Thursday, June 27, as reported by Antara.
Grace said that the President was focused on working on presidential tasks until next October.
"The business of nominating the regional elections, talking about popularity and the number of seats for each party. The key is there, the discussion is there, not in the President," said Grace.

Kaesang is rumored to want to be paired with former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil.
It is known that the PSI DKI Jakarta Regional Leadership Council (DPW) said there would be a surprise in August 2024 regarding the name of the candidate for governor in the Jakarta Pilkada.
"Candidates are certainly still very dynamic, as stated by Ketum Mas Kaesang in many meetings, namely waiting for the surprise in August," said Chairman of the DKI Jakarta PSI DPW Elva Farhi Qolbina during a visit to the NasDem State Defense Academy (ABN) Building, Jakarta, Tuesday, June 25.
Elva explained that his party is still attracting potential parties to be able to solve Jakarta's problems, such as congestion issues, waste emergency in Jakarta, and community welfare problems, especially the problem of social assistance (bansos) that is not on target.
