JAKARTA - Political observer at Al Azhar University Indonesia, Ujang Komaruddin, assessed that psychologically the direction of President Joko Widodo's support had actually referred to Ganjar Pranowo.

"The direction of Pak Jokowi's support is very clear to Pak Ganjar, the second is ideologically, Mrs. Megawati's figure, especially Mr. Jokowi, Mr. Ganjar, cannot be interpreted anymore that his ideology is very clear following in Bung Karno's footsteps," said Ujang, Friday, June 30.

"Added by Pak Jokowi's speech that yes, this does not need to be interpreted further, there is no need to widen it any longer, meaning that indeed the direction of Pak Jokowi's support is to Pak Ganjar," he added.

Ujang also assessed that the speech about winning Ganjar Pranowo for the upcoming 2024 presidential election at the Bung Karno Month event proved Jokowi was a leader who also had a long carriage. Including, being able to determine the direction of the volunteers.

"He has volunteers, and don't forget that he is a party cadre, but his blood is like if he is split, he will definitely be red," said Ujang.

Don't forget, according to PDIP DPP Chairman Djarot Syaiful Hidayat, from mayors, governors to presidents, Jokowi is always supported by PDIP. Previously, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) advised PDIP cadre Ganjar Pranowo to become a presidential candidate (candidate) in the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election contestation.

"For 2024, there is a presidential candidate from Ganjar Pranowo here. I repeat, we have heard earlier about the presidential candidate from the PDIP Perjuangan, Mr. Ganjar Pranowo," Jokowi said in his remarks at the peak of Bung Karno Month commemoration at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (GBK), Jakarta, last Saturday, June 24.
