With his eldest son and son-in-law running in mayoral races this year, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has ensured the public that he will not be campaigning for them, citing his workload.

Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Jokowi's eldest son, has officially registered to run in the 2020 Surakarta mayoral election in Central Java, while his son-in-law Bobby Nasution will be running in the Medan mayoral election in North Sumatra this year.

"This is a competition. In every competition they can win or lose. I won't be campaigning [for them]," Jokowi told reporters at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta on Friday, citing that he had a lot of work to do.
