TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Actor Roy Marten stated he is working on gathering supports for Jokowi to step in as Presidential candidate. He had targeted 10 million autographs within 3 months by visiting some regions in Indonesia.
"We have made a declaration in Kendal, Jakarta, and Borneo. We will move again after Eid al-Fitr, targeting Sabang until Merauke," he said.
Roy, along with his friends, initiated Jokowi for President Volunteer Group (Bara JP) last month. The volunteers meant to endorse Jokowi as the next presidential candidate on the upcoming election.
Despite Jokowi being Jakarta Governor for only a year, Roy said that Jokowi can go lead Indonesia and let Jakarta under the Deputy Governor, Ahok. Roy added that during his time promoting Jokowi, he never met any rejection from the society. He believed that the society has already put some faith on the figure of Jokowi.
