JAKARTA - PPI executive director Adi Prayitno assessed that the willingness of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to come down from the mountain to support PSI implies a big target that wants to be achieved in the 2029 Election.
"Of course there are big targets for PSI. That's why Jokowi wants to win PSI completely and desperately, at least to pass the 2029 parliament," he said, Sunday, February 1.
This is what makes Jokowi so excited when giving instructions to the PSI managers, including asking the elephant-symbol party managers to be militants to strengthen the network. "That's why in his speech Jokowi is quite affectionate in his instructions for PSI cadres to be militants, forming managers from the center to the region, and Jokowi traveling around Indonesia," Adi added.
According to him, all of these directions are certainly an effort to boost PSI's electability in the 2029 election. Considering that, at this time PSI still cannot pass to parliament in Senayan. However, he admitted that he could not confirm the effect of Jokowi's total presence and support for PSI.
"That still has to be proven in the upcoming election. Whether Jokowi is still powerful or not, of course the minimum measure is whether PSI passes the parliament or not," said Adi.
As is known, Jokowi was present in person at the 2026 PSI National Congress which was held in Makassar, South Sulawesi. Jokowi gave direct instructions to the party led by his youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep. In his speech, Jokowi stated that he was ready to get off the mountain solely for PSI. In fact, he expressed his willingness to go to the grassroots to strengthen the party's structure.
"I am still able to come to the provinces, all provinces. I am still able to come to regencies/cities. I am still able. I am still able if I continue to the sub-district, I am still able," he said.
Jokowi stated that Indonesia currently has 38 provinces, 514 regencies/cities, and around 7,000 sub-districts. The vastness of Indonesia's territory is said to still be visited for PSI. Therefore, he also asked PSI cadres to work militantly. Because, the hard work of all the managers will also motivate him to fight for PSI.
