President Joko Widodo made sure that he never had a discourse on running as a Vice Presidential Candidate (Cawapres) in the 2024 Election. Therefore, the prediction that he would run as a cawapres was blown by an unknown party.

"If it's from me, I'll explain. If it's not from me, I don't want to explain, that's all." said Jokowi, at the Merdeka Palace, Friday (16/9/2022).

Jokowi said that he did not take part in the nomination matters as related. Meanwhile, the polemic about him being a vice presidential candidate was widely heard in the public.

"From the beginning, what I said was that this was what we prepared, not me. I have answered the matter for the three periods, as soon as there is another thing called an extension," Jokowi explained.

Instead, he questioned the origins of the discourse on him being a vice presidential candidate. He also refused to respond further.

"This reappears as vice president. Who is that from?" he said. (RRI)
