Former Indonesian President Joko Widodo has officially confirmed his membership in the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI). The announcement ends months of speculation regarding his political affiliation following his departure from the presidency.
Why it matters
This move clarifies the political trajectory of the Widodo family and signals the continued influence of the former president within the Indonesian political landscape through his son's party.
Ending months of speculation over his political affiliations, former Indonesian President Joko Widodo revealed last Saturday (Sep 26) that he has been a member of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) since October 2025.
