Chairman of the Democratic Party BPOKK Herman Khaeron responded to the impeachment option of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) who was considered a girl in the 2024 presidential election by encouraging his eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, to become a vice presidential candidate to accompany Prabowo Subianto. Jokowi is also said to provide strategic recommendations for Prabowo-Gibran's victory. Herman assessed that the option was still limited to the opinion built by the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS). He said the Democrats would still see future developments whether there were elements that were suspected or not. "It's still an opinion that was built, it's not here that then submits a proposal to go there (the impeachment) doesn't exist. That's still an opinion built by several parties, we'll see the progress in the future," said Herman Khaeron at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday, November 2nd. Therefore, Herman admitted that he could not confirm the Democrat's attitude regarding the impeachment option that was thrown by the PKS. Is it supportive or repulsive. Including the question of the option of the right to inquiry to the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK). "Where did he throw it, this is if the rights possessed by the DPR have the right to ask questions, the right to inquiry, and the right to express opinions, that's the right addressed to the government. So where is the correlation now? And even if someone submits a proposal to file a lawsuit against the Constitutional Court, where is the proposal, what is it like, what is the purpose, what is the purpose, we have not yet known what the direction is," explained Herman. "And even if the opinions built in the public are of course we respect that as an opinion, an opinion that is certainly part of the dynamics of politics," said Herman Khaeron. Previously, the Chairman of the PKS DPP, Mardani Ali Sera, opened the impeachment option for President Joko Jokowi if allegations of fuss or interference in the 2024 presidential election were proven. "If it is and the facts are verified, impeachment can be one option," Mardani told reporters, Tuesday, October 31.

Mardani assessed that Jokowi's jokes hit many regulations that were dangerous for the democratic process. For this reason, it needs to be a common concern because it is an indication of the President's neutrality in the 2024 election. The “Cawe-cawe are very dangerous. Hit a lot of things. These exaggerated jokes can make things not jurdil, even though the conditions are jurdil,” said Mardani.
