Jakarta –

Chairman of the DPP PDIP Mrs. Empress responding to the youngest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), Kaesang Parangepwho was photographed wearing a T-shirt PSI with the Ketum PSI Giring Ganesha. Puan admitted that she would ask if Kaesang was ready to join the PDIP.

“Later I will ask Mas Kaesang, do you want to join the PDIP or not? That was before,” said Puan at the PDIP DPP office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Friday (9/6/2023). Puan answered questions regarding the response to the photo of Kaesang and Giring.

Puan said that PDIP had a rule that one family could not have different parties. Because of that, he said he would first ask Kaesang’s will.

“The PDIP can have a family from different regions. Unless the candidates or regional heads then have different parties, that’s not allowed. But this is one party and has different positions. I’ll ask later, Mas Kaesang, do you want it or not? join the PDIP? he said.

Puan then responded to PKS which disagreed with Kaesang running for the Depok Pilkada. Puan believes that this is the right of each party.

“Yes, it’s okay, all parties have their own choices and strategies,” he said.

PSI chairman Giring Ganesha previously met with Kaesang Pangarep and Erina Gudono. The two are said to have participated in discussing the Depok Pilwalkot on that occasion.

The meeting between Giring and Kaesang was uploaded on the social media account of the Chairperson of the PSI DPP Sigit Widodo as seen, Thursday (8/6). In his uploaded statement, Sigit praised Kaesang’s suit which was suitable to be a mayor.

“Today the general chairman of PSI, Bro Giring Ganesha, met with Mas Kaesang Pangarep. Mas Kaesang’s clothes are cool, really suitable to be mayor,” wrote Sigit.

Interviewed separately, Sigit explained that the meeting occurred when Giring was a guest star on the Kaesang program. Jokowi’s son in one of the photos is seen wearing a T-shirt that says PSI.

“That Bro Giring came as a guest star on Podkaesang’s doorstep season 2 at the Kyabin Studio in South Jakarta,” Sigit told reporters.
