Former Indonesian president Joko Widodo continued his political tour with stops in Bandung and Bekasi alongside the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Kompas.com reported on Friday, September 25, 2026. During the Bandung leg, Jokowi displayed his PSI membership card, according to detikNews, which reported that he joined the party in October 2025.
Kompas.com reported that Jokowi attended a PSI regional coordination meeting (Rakorda) in Bandung together with Kaesang. Jokowi also explained his reasons for attending the event, according to Kompas.com.
The visits drew responses from other political figures. Kumparan.com reported that Muzani commented on Jokowi becoming a PSI cadre and showing his membership card, saying political participation is a citizen's right. CNN Indonesia reported that a PDIP official, Gunrom, responded to the membership card display by saying Jokowi should instead show his UGM undergraduate degree certificate.
The stops in Bandung and Bekasi are part of a continuing series of political visits by the former president, as reported by Kompas.com. The coverage did not include further details on the Bekasi event.
What to watch next: whether Jokowi's PSI-linked tour continues to other cities and how other parties respond.
