However, they insisted on his participation, stating, “Mr. Jokowi, it’s an order from the President of the Republic, which is also the Chairman of Gerindra.”
“What I respect the President of the Republic of Indonesia as well as the Chairman of the Gerindra Party Prabowo Subianto,” Jokowi acknowledged, highlighting the hierarchical dynamics at play.

Thank you for having me. Indeed, President Jokowi’s actions at the Gerindra event have been rather intriguing.

This gesture could also be seen as a way of bridging political divides and fostering a sense of unity within the nation.
