Allocate Rp80 M, Kaesang Calm PSI Not Passing Senayan

Dream - General Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Kaesang Pangarep, admitted that he doesn't mind his party not making it to the Parliament. Even though PSI has spent campaign funds reaching Rp80 billion.

According to Kaesang, that is a common thing in the world of politics. "As the chairman, it's not a problem, this is called politics," said Kaesang Pangarep, in Jakarta, Thursday, March 21, 2024, quoted from Liputan6.com.

"Mengaku Legowo" in English is "Claiming to be Gracious".

The youngest son of President Joko Widodo mentioned that this is a process for his party to become more mature. Therefore, he admitted to being gracefully accepting that his party did not pass to the Parliament. "This is our process, our process of becoming much more mature, so that we can become better, it's okay to relax," said Kaesang. "I am very accepting," he added.

Regarding the lawsuit to the Constitutional Court (MK), he mentioned that his party will first assess the situation. He also allowed other parties, including PPP, who did not pass to the Parliament, to file a lawsuit to the MK. "But how can they sue for 200 thousand votes, where is the evidence?" said Kaesang when answering reporters' questions about PPP filing a lawsuit to the MK.

Meanwhile, in the 2024 General Election, PSI garnered a total of 4,260,169 votes. In terms of percentage, PSI's acquisition accounted for only 2.81 percent of the total valid votes, thus failing to reach the parliamentary threshold set at 4 percent.

Although so, Kaesang expressed his gratitude to the people who have chosen PSI even though the party with the symbol of a rose did not pass the parliamentary threshold. "What is certain is that it will not pass to Senayan. But I represent my friends, I say thank you to friends from various layers of society," said Kaesang.

"He claimed that he will evaluate his party to make it better, especially to face the 2029 General Election. According to him, the party that is synonymous with the younger generation will continue to fight in its own way."

It is known that the total campaign expenses of PSI are among the highest among the 18 political parties participating in the 2024 Election.
