Indonesian President Joko Widodo, widely known as Jokowi, is set to embark on a series of provincial visits throughout June, beginning with Lampung, East Nusa Tenggara, and West Java. These initial stops are the first phase of a comprehensive plan to visit all 38 provinces across the archipelago. According to Bestari Barus, Chairman of the PSI Party's Political Affairs, the visits are a gradual process, with subsequent tours planned for other provinces. During each visit, Jokowi is expected to engage with various groups, including party cadres, volunteer networks, and local community leaders who have extended invitations. The President's office emphasized that these trips are primarily for fostering connections and responding to community requests, explicitly denying any political campaigning motives. Jokowi himself has confirmed his improved health, stating he is 100% recovered and eager to reconnect with the public, offering motivation and interaction during his upcoming travels.

Because it is not possible to visit all 38 provinces at once. So it will be done gradually, starting with these 3 provinces and continuing with others.
