JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo said his steps were to invite the general chairman of the coalition party at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Tuesday (2/5) night, not a political "cheeky".
"A girl? Not a girl. It's a discussion. It's a discussion. Discussion, I'm a political official. I'm not a girl," said President Jokowi as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 4.
Jokowi emphasized that the matter of nominating the President and Vice President in the 2024 presidential election is the domain of political parties or coalitions of political parties.
