JAKARTA - Deputy General Chair of PAN Viva Yoga Mauladi, emphasized that PAN's stance is in line with President Joko Widodo, namely rejecting the discourse of a three-term presidential term.

"The attitude of PAN is the same as that of President Jokowi, which is to refuse a three-term position," said Viva Yoga in an online discussion, Thursday, September 2.

"It has been said (Jokowi, ed) that whoever wants to apply for me for 3 terms means that person is looking for my face, slapping me in the face, and trapping me," he continued, quoting the president's statement.

Therefore, Viva appealed to all parties not to doubt President Jokowi's commitment to the 3-term presidential discourse. The reason, he said, was that none of the political parties in the coalition wanted an additional presidential term.

"There is no need to hesitate. All political parties have also stated that the 2-period system for 10 years is something that is constitutional and ideal," said Viva.
