THE recent PDI-P congress in Bali clearly showed that not all is well with the president and the political party, specifically between Jokowi and party chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri. Mega’s speech at the opening of the event sharply criticized the government and Jokowi’s policies, and although he had prepared a two-page speech, Jokowi was never given the chance to share it publicly. It was not in the congress agenda. How damaging is this rift between Jokowi and Mega, and what will the president do to reestablish ties?
