JAKARTA: President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has repudiated a claim made by Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) chairman Kaesang Pangarep, his youngest son, that the outgoing executive will assist in the party’s campaigning for the November regional elections.

Speaking to reporters during a working trip in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), President Jokowi said political campaigns were the PSI’s internal business and that any questions about the party's political strategy should be directed to Kaesang.
