JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said he felt the need to interfere in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) as a form of responsibility.

This was conveyed by Jokowi during a press conference after attending the PDI Perjuangan National Working Meeting at the PDIP Party School, Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta, Tuesday, June 6. He said, interfering in the political contestation was meant solely to monitor the leadership transition.

"I have said that it is my moral obligation to be female and female. It is my moral responsibility as president during the 2024 national leadership transition," Jokowi said.

As head of state, Jokowi feels obligated to ensure that the simultaneous 2024 elections run well. Don't let the democratic party be colored by ripples that endanger the nation and state.

After all, it is impossible for a head of state to remain silent when he sees a threat that has the potential to cause an election not to go well. However, Jokowi did not elaborate on the problems he had read.

"Must maintain that the national leadership simultaneously, the presidential election can run well without any ripples that endanger the state and nation," he said.

"When (there are, ed) ripples that endanger the nation, I tell them to be quiet, don't they," continued Jokowi.

It is known, President Joko Widodo met with the editor-in-chief (pimred) of the mass media and also media activists at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta.

The Chief Redeemers chatted with President Jokowi for about 2 hours accompanied by State Secretary Minister Pratikno and also the Deputy for Protocol, Press and Media for the Presidential Secretariat, Bey Machmudin.

During the meeting, Jokowi admitted that he would take part in political affairs in the 2024 elections. However, this step was not for personal or group interests but to ensure that development in his current administration would be continued by the next head of state.

Jokowi's statement later became a polemic. A number of parties accused that the former mayor of Solo was not neutral and had hidden intentions.
