JAKARTA - Deputy for Protocol, Press and Media of the Presidential Secretariat Bey Machmudin confirmed that there was a meeting between President Joko Widodo and the Chairman of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh, at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, last Thursday. "That's right, there was a meeting yesterday afternoon," said Bey Machmudin in Jakarta, Antara, Friday, January 27. However, Bey did not reveal the details of the contents of the meeting. Previously, Chairman of the Central Executive Board (DPP) of the NasDem Party Charles Meikyansyah said Surya Paloh met Jokowi on Thursday. Charles said that no NasDem Party cadres accompanied Surya Paloh at the meeting. Charles also did not explain the details of the discussion at the meeting between Surya Paloh and Jokowi. The meeting took place amid news of a cabinet reshuffle (reshuffle) due to pressure from PDI-P politicians over the declaration of the NasDem Party which will carry former DKI Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate (candidate) in the 2024 election. Jokowi has also commented several times on the reshuffle, but did not mention the exact time. He only asked the public to wait for the reshuffle time. "Wait," said Jokowi when checking the Ciliwung River drain project in Jakarta, Tuesday, January 24.
