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.
However, as a public official who is also a political official, he feels that it is okay to invite the general chairmen of the coalition parties to discuss.
"If they invite me, (or) I invite them it's okay. What is the constitution that is violated from there? Nothing. Please understand that I am a politician as well as a public official," he said.
Jokowi was also asked about the content of the meeting with the general chairmen of the political parties at that time. According to Jokowi, much was discussed in the meeting for 3 hours.
"There are a lot of discussion. Many hours," he said.
