JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said that the General Chair of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri was a beautiful and charismatic figure.

He conveyed the compliment during the PDIP II National Working Meeting (Rakernas) at the Party School, Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta today, Tuesday, June 21.

"That's right, said Mrs. Mega. Since I met her today, she has a very beautiful aura and very charismatic," said Jokowi to the applause of the PDIP National Working Meeting participants.

"This is true from the bottom of my heart," he added.

Jokowi praised Megawati for being charismatic at her age. The 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia was born on January 23, 1947 or is currently 75 years old.

"I say, her aura is real. Even though she is old, her aura of beauty never fades," said the former governor of DKI Jakarta.

Jokowi gave this praise because Megawati had previously joked. He said the charming looks of his parents, especially his father, the First President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno or Bung Karno had decreased on him.

"I'm a hodgepodge. I'm a hodgepodge. Bung Karno, oh what's lacking," said Megawati at the National Working Meeting.

"I always say, do you want to know what kind of father my father is? He is handsome and charismatic, now he is with me. I am beautiful and charismatic," he added, greeted with boisterous applause from his cadres.

Megawati also mentioned that in the past Bung Karno was often eyed by women. "So if my father is there, there are women who pass by my father, not my father glances at women. It is the women who glance at my father," he said.

"And now it's reversed. Men are glancing at me," said Megawati, ending with a laugh that was greeted with boisterous cheer from the cadres.
