Upon hearing this, several journalists requested him to explain, but Kaesang chose to decline. “It’s a secret,” concluded Kaesang before departing. Previously, Head of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, stated that President Jokowi forbade his youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep, from running for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. “Earlier, I asked the President after the meeting. ‘Sir, what about Kaesang running for Jakarta deputy governor?’ ‘Oh no,’ he said, ‘Don’t do it, Mr. Zul,'” Zulhas said at the PAN DPP, South Jakarta, on Monday, (June 3, 2024). Zulhas previously suggested that Kaesang pair up with Zita Anjani in the Jakarta Pilkada because he wanted Jakarta to be led by young people. “Kaesang is young, I even suggested it before, ‘Sir, I proposed it a year ago, what if Jakarta is led by young people, Kaesang.’ That was about a year ago, if I’m not mistaken,” he said.

Kaesang has been rumored to participate in the Jakarta gubernatorial election after his poster appeared alongside Gerindra politician and Prabowo’s nephew, Budi Djiwandono. The Secretary-General of PSI, Raja Juli Antoni, stated that there hasn’t been any internal discussion concerning the youngest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) running in the 2024 Pilkada. “No (internal discussion yet),” said Antoni at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, on Monday (June 3, 2024). Antoni mentioned that whether Kaesang will run this year depends on Kaesang himself.
