DESTA Mahendra shares his moment when he visited Joko Widodo’s house in Solo. Through his Instagram account, @desta80s, Desta uploaded a photo of him taking a photo with the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia on the terrace of the house, as well as a video of his farewell.
“Just returning to Solo. Stop by Mr Jokowi’s house. There were quite a lot of stories and we were treated to hot tea and snacks. What a humble person as always. Love you Sir,” wrote Desta, Saturday, (2/11).
In the video, Desta also jokes that he will often stop by Jokowi’s house in Solo. Desta is an artist born in Solo. “Bye, Pak Jokowi, see you again. “I will often play here, sir, play here, want to watch drakor (Korean drama),” said the 47 year old artist.
After completing his term as President of Indonesia, Jokowi chose to spend his retirement in his hometown, Solo. The city was also led by Jokowi as Mayor (2005–2012), and continued by his son Gibran Rakabuming Raka as Mayor of Solo in 2021–2024, before now serving as Vice President. (M-1)
