Even though at the same time, Jokowi still has the highest electability as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

This is because, said Ujang, steps are needed to consolidate parties in parliament to change the rules that allow a person to serve as president for three terms.

“The two periods are enough for a president, because the people might get angry later, not giving opportunities to others. Two periods are the best way for this nation and for new opportunities,” he explained.
