“I told Pak Jusuf Kalla upon my presidential candidacy registration tomorrow morning at the KPU,” said the president.
Jokowi is scheduled to register with his vice presidential candidate at the KPU headquarters on Friday, August 10, at 9 a.m. However, he was still hesitant to reveal the identity of his future running mate.
