The 7th President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has a desk with the Chairman of the DPR as well as the Chair of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP Puan Maharani in an open activity with the NasDem Party at the NasDem Tower Ballroom, Jakarta.
Even so, Jokowi and Puan's position was brokered by the General Chairperson of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh. In addition, the 6th Vice President Try Sutrisno and the Secretary General of the NasDem Party, Hermawi Taslim, are also at the same table.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, also just found out that Jokowi was present at the breaking of the fast with the NasDem Party. Puan admitted that she was invited by Surya Paloh.
"I just found out that Mr. Jokowi came here, I was invited by Mr. Surya Paloh tobukber at the NasDem office. Later, I just want to meet Mr. Jokowi," said Puan as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, March 21.
He said his communication with Jokowi was always warm. However, he did not know what he would discuss with Jokowi.
"Yes, we haven't found it yet, haven't talked about it yet, later when we meet we will know what to say," he said.
This activity was attended by a number of elite political parties, namely PAN Secretary General Eko Patrio, PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu, PPP Deputy General Chair Amir Uskara, PKB Deputy Chairperson Jazilul Fawaid, Golkar Politician Rizal Mallarangeng, PDIP Deputy Secretary General Utut Adianto.
Jokowi has been a PDIP cadre since the beginning of his political career. He ran as Mayor of Solo in 2005 with the support of the PDIP and the National Awakening Party (PKB).
His success in leading Solo brought him to the national stage, until the PDIP carried him as a candidate for Governor of DKI Jakarta in 2012 and a presidential candidate in 2014.
However, after two terms serving as president, Jokowi's relationship with PDIP began to stretch, especially ahead of the 2024 General Election. Differences in political attitudes, especially regarding support for different presidential candidates, made the relationship between the two even hotter.

On December 17, 2024, PDIP officially fired Jokowi from party membership. This decision was announced by the Chairman of the Honorary Division of the PDI-P DPP, Komarudin Watubun, who stated that Jokowi had committed a serious violation because he supported the presidential and vice presidential candidates from the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) and abused power.
Previously, on April 22, 2024, PDIP had stated that Jokowi and his son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, were no longer members of the party, following their support for a pair of presidential and vice presidential candidates who were different from the party's official choice.
This dismissal marks the peak of tensions between Jokowi and PDI-P, especially regarding differences in political support ahead of the 2024 General Election.
