        "summary": "The Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) anticipates an influx of 15 to 20 new members from other parties, following the recent joining of Rusdi Masse, as revealed by party leader Bestari Barus. Bestari hinted at the recruits' origins without specifics to avoid repercussions, describing such transfers as commonplace during election transitions. The party also expressed hopes for former President Joko Widodo to join, citing his high approval ratings as a potential multiplier effect for PSI's growth under Kaesang Pangarep's leadership.",
        "content": "<p>Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Deputy Chairman Bestari Barus has\nrevealed that several more individuals will join the party under the\nleadership of Kaesang Pangarep. Who are they?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I can\u2019t possibly say (from which party), but I\u2019ve already\nhinted that Rusdi Masse is just one of 15 to 20 more,\u201d said Bestari\nBarus when contacted on Thursday (15\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Bestari stated that around 15 to 20 people will join PSI. He revealed\nthat many parties are interested in PSI.<\/p>\n<p>The former NasDem politician even said they are just waiting for the\nright time to join. So who are these 20 people? Bestari still refused to\nreveal them, fearing that if disclosed now, they would be sacked from\ntheir current parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I\u2019ve hinted that, Grace also said that, yes, like that. But we\ncan\u2019t just reveal it, it would be a pity if they get sacked from there,\u201d\nsaid Bestari.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ones who have already joined, Rusdi Masse is one. Right? There\nare many, lots of them. Already, you know, many have stated they will\njoin. But of course at the right time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He views the movement of politicians from one party to another as a\nnormal occurrence. He said it is reasonable, especially during the\nelection transition period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that\u2019s just normal, because politician transfers happen at those\ntimes, right? During campaign seasons, it\u2019s normal. This one moves\nthere, that one moves here, moves there, that\u2019s normal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bestari Barus hopes that Indonesia\u2019s 7th President Joko Widodo\n(Jokowi) will also join PSI. He believes Jokowi\u2019s presence would bring a\nmultiplier effect for PSI.<\/p>\n<p>He mentioned that the approval from the father of Vice President\nGibran Rakabuming Raka remains high.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we hope Pak Jokowi will join soon. And bring a multiplier\neffect. Jokowi\u2019s multiplier effect for PSI, right? Because, you know,\nhis approval rating is still high. Still, wow, extraordinary. Hopefully,\nthe success we aim for can truly be realised,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, PSI Board of Trustees Secretary Grace Natalie revealed\nthat many cadres outside the party are interested in joining PSI. She\nsaid the number continues to grow along with the formation of the\nparty\u2019s structure from village to regional levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany, many and continuing to join, the problem is the number keeps\nmoving,\u201d said Grace Natalie to reporters during the PSI Konsinyering\nevent at a hotel in the Slipi area, West Jakarta, on Sunday (12\/4).<\/p>",
