JAKARTA – Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s youngest son and social media celebrity Kaesang Pangarep has been widely seen as gearing up to join a mayoral race next year in an opposition party’s stronghold, in a sign of a shift towards stronger pluralism.
A few weeks later, the humorous newly-wed man, who has a 3.2 million Twitter following, posted a video declaring that his family has given him permission to run for mayor. He said he is “ready to be in Depok and become Depok First”. The Depok administration issued a circular on Feb 9, 2023, instructing teachers and faculty members to ban their students from celebrating Valentine’s Day as it is against local religious, social and cultural norms.
Each office term lasts five years. He stressed that Depok’s next leader must pay greater attention to youth welfare.
