Prabowo Extends Birthday Wishes to Former President Jokowi

President Prabowo Subianto extended birthday wishes to former President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, who celebrated his 65th birthday on Sunday, June 21, 2026. The message was shared via the president's Instagram Story, accompanied by a photograph of Jokowi in formal attire. The caption read, "Happy birthday to the 7th President of Indonesia, Mr. H. Joko Widodo, June 21, 2026."

Jokowi, born in Surakarta, Central Java, on June 21, 1961, began his political journey as the Mayor of Surakarta before serving as Jakarta Governor. He was elected President in 2014 and re-elected in 2019. His tenure has been marked by various political developments, including accusations of intervention in the 2024 Presidential Election to support Prabowo Subianto's victory. These allegations were discussed during the election dispute trial, though the Constitutional Court ultimately ruled that Jokowi was not proven to have intervened.

Thank you for the dedication, hard work, and contributions you have given to the Indonesian nation."
