JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) has given its clearest sign yet that it is ready to contest the 2024 election without the support of President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo and his family, citing disagreements over the latter’s attempt to subvert the Constitution.
Following weeks of protracted speculation of failing ties between Jokowi and the PDI-P – which has served as the President’s political vehicle for decades – party secretary-general Hasto Kristiyanto aired the party's grievances in a press statement on Sunday.
