Jakarta (B2B) - Joko Widodo, Calon Presiden Indonesia dari PDI Perjuangan mengungkapkan alasan bahwa tidak banyak partai politik mendukung dirinya dan M. Jusuf Kalla (JK) karena banyak yang meminta imbalan ingin menjadi menteri.
"Kenapa kita tidak mau berkoalisi banyak-banyak, tidak bekerja sama dengan partai banyak-banyak, karena banyak yang datang ke kita minta kursi delapan, minta menteri enam, minta menteri sebelas," katanya saat orasi politik deklarasi dukungan sesepuh Jawa Barat (Jabar) di Gedung Citra, Kota Bandung, Kamis.
Menurut Jokowi, yang juga Gubernur Daerah Khusus Ibukota (DKI) Jakarta, tidak perlu banyak melibatkan partai politik dalam pencalonannya sebagai presiden berdampingan dengan Jusuf Kalla sebagai calon wakil presiden pada pemilihan presiden 2014.
Ia menegaskan keinginannya memimpin Indonesia hanya untuk bekerja fokus untuk rakyat dan membangun bangsa Indonesia, bukan membagi-bagikan kekuasaan.
"Kita sekarang ini bekerja adalah konsentrasi untuk rakyat, untuk masyarakat. Bukan ingin bagi-bagi kursi, bukan ingin transaksi-transaksi, bukan ingin bagi-bagi kekuasaan," katanya.
Jakarta (B2B) - The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) did not coalesce with many political parties because many of them have asked for ministerial positions as compensation, stated presidential candidate Joko Widodo, popularly known as "Jokowi".
"We refuse to coalesce with many political parties because some of the parties want six, eight, and even eleven of their cadres to be made ministers," Jokowi remarked during his political oration in Bandung.
He noted that it was not necessary to involve many political parties in his nomination as presidential candidate with Jusuf Kalla as his running mate in the upcoming July presidential election.
Jokowi reiterated that his intention to become president is to only focus on the peoples interests in various fields and to develop the nation rather than power sharing.
"We would like to work for the sake of the people and not for political transaction and power sharing. Therefore, we have coalesced with parties that want to coalesce with us unconditionally," he emphasized.
