Not Iri, But Surya Paloh Also Wants Anies Motivated By Jokowi

Chairman of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh, appreciated President Joko Widodo (Jokowi)'s statement that the 2024 presidential election would be the share of General Chair Prabowo Subianto. According to him, Jokowi's words are a motivation as well as to encourage Prabowo. As is known, Prabowo has twice run as a presidential candidate.

"That's also solid, high-level diplomacy from President Jokowi, isn't it good. Give your heart, positive thinking, give you motivation, what's wrong?," Paloh told reporters, quoted on Saturday, November 12. Paloh also waited for Jokowi to also provide the same motivation for his presidential candidate, Anies Baswedan.

"We are waiting, when will he be given to Bung Anies. That means why? I need to remind you, the President is not only in his capacity as Head of Government, but also as Head of State," said Paloh.

Even so, Paloh admitted that he was not jealous of Jokowi's support for Prabowo. That attitude, he said, should not be owned by statesmen. "Ah, that was a lesson during the elementary school era that had been taught coaching lessons, don't be jealous quickly," said Paloh.
