JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo gave advice to a number of Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) cadres during the peak of the 8th Anniversary celebration, at the Djakarta Theater Ballroom, Tuesday, January 31.
Jokowi asked PSI to choose the right issue to win in the upcoming 2024 election contestation. For example, Jokowi then recalled his struggle with Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok in the DKI Jakarta Pilkada.
"Remember me this is no one, from Solo Denso entered Jakarta a big city. I saw that at that time there was an opportunity. Because every election the candidate was always wearing a suit, wearing a cap. No one dared to get out of there," said Jokowi, quoted by VOI from the Indonesian Solidarity Party Youtube channel, Tuesday night.
From the appearance with Ahok, Jokowi wants PSI to become a party to have differentiation, have differences with other parties. The issues raised by PSI must be different and can be accepted by the targeted voter segment.
Moreover, Jokowi continued, according to data from the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) the number of voters aged 17-39 years is quite large in 2024.
"This means that the issues that we want to raise must be in accordance with the wishes of voters of 17 and 39 years earlier. The issues, bro and sis, know better. Don't raise issues that our young people don't like. PSI must have a differentiation, don't follow them. Don't follow them. Don't follow, Setter trends. Get it? You can definitely get it!," said Jokowi.
