TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra) has challenged Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo's nomitation for the next Presidential election. Suhardi, Chief of Gerindra, mentioned that his party requested Jokowi to put his duty as the Mayor Governor of Jakarta as top priority. "We brought and popularized Jokowi. We regret that his commitment starts to change," he said.
Jokowi's nomination as a Presidential candidate has turned into a prominent discourse after the national meeting of Indonesia Democratic Party Struggle ended yesterday, September 8. Although the meeting was yet to declare Jokowi as an official presidential candidate, Megawati had called Jokowi as the kind of leader that can solve the nation's problem.
Ahmad Muzani, Secretary General of Gerindra, said that "Jokowi has promised to run his duty for five years." In addition, both Suhardi and Muzani also reminded PDI-P about the its commitment to support Prabowo in the 2014 Election
