Former Indonesian President Joko Widodo is set to continue his political engagements with a visit to East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) from July 31 to August 2, 2027. This trip follows his recent tour of Lampung, which concluded on June 28, 2027.
The confirmation came from Bestari Barus, Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Central Executive Board, who stated, "God willing, if nothing prevents it, we will arrive in NTT on the 31st." During his stay, Widodo is expected to engage with various community groups, local leaders, and participate in a regional coordination meeting with the PSI NTT Regional Executive Board.
God willing, if nothing prevents it, we will arrive in NTT on the 31st.
Details of Widodo's itinerary are still being finalized by the PSI and volunteer teams aiming to maximize his time in NTT. Barus indicated that Widodo has received invitations from communities across 38 provinces, requiring careful verification by his team to ensure the events align with the former president's objectives.
Beyond NTT, Widodo is also likely to attend a significant event in Cirebon, West Java, in September. This potential visit stems from an invitation extended by Ujang Bustomi, the leader of Padepokan Anti Galau Cirebon, who personally visited Solo to invite Widodo to his youngest son's circumcision ceremony on September 12, 2026. The event is anticipated to draw approximately 50,000 attendees.
There are meetings with inviting communities, with community groups, with leaders, with local volunteers, and primarily with PSI.
