Jokowi's Political Safari: PSI Ready to Prove Central Java is a 'Gajah' Stronghold

President Joko Widodo’s political safari will continue with a tour of Central Java. The Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) is ready to prove to Jokowi that Central Java is a ‘gajah’ (elephant) stronghold.

‘We are currently waiting for the schedule from Bapak. Our task today is to prepare for Bapak to go down and tour Central Java, to ensure that Central Java is truly a Gajah stronghold,’ said Antonius Yogo, Chairman of the PSI Regional Executive Board for Central Java, as quoted by detikJateng on Saturday (4/7/2026).

Yogo proposed that almost all regencies and cities in Central Java be visited, but the final decision rests with Jokowi. The political safari is planned for this July.

‘As soon as possible, we are preparing it as quickly as possible. We will contact the team, and hopefully, by mid-July, it can proceed. We proposed almost all 35 regencies/cities, and of course, Bapak will choose which ones to visit,’ he explained.

Yogo stated that the plan to tour Central Java was made following a direct meeting with Jokowi. He mentioned that his team is currently finalising the schedule and technical details.

Yogo explained that the agenda for the July tour is based on the progress of the party’s structural formation, which is claimed to be almost fully complete. Yogo reported to Jokowi that the party machinery is ready to work at full capacity.

‘We reported the performance achievements of the DPW structure across Central Java, which is now almost 95 percent complete. The party machinery structure that we promised is ready, and we reported this to Bapak today,’ he stressed.
