JAKARTA - The youngest son of the 7th President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), Kaesang Pangarep, was re-elected as Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) 2025-2030. Kaesang stated that he would bring PSI to become a major party in the upcoming 2029 elections.
Kaesang was announced as the new chairman of the PSI Grand Election which was held at Graha Saba Buana, Solo, Central Java, Saturday, July 19.
In the e-voting vote, Kaesang managed to beat influencer Ronald Aristone Sinaga alias Bro Ron and former Chairman of the Indonesian Student Movement (PMII) Agus Mulyono Herlambang with a vote of 65.28 percent.
Kaesang initially apologized because in the past period, he failed to bring PSI through to Senayan. The reason is, he only has three months to campaign for PSI to the public.

"Let me apologize profusely to all members of PSI cadres because I failed to bring this party into Senayan (in the 2024 election)," said Kaesang.
"But remember that in 2029 we will become a calculated party," he continued.
Kaesang said many people might still think of PSI as a small political party. However, he said, the party that changed the logo from rose to red head elephant will become a major political party in the upcoming 2029 Election.
"Maybe people still think of small elephants, but the small elephants are still big. In 2029 we will be a big party," he said.
"My promise is that PSI will grow in 2029," concluded Kaesang.
