REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Vice President Jusuf Kalla denied rumors of having health issues due to which he could not attend the people's party held at the National Monument square on Monday night (Oct. 20).
The party itself was attended by President Joko Widodo, or popularly known as Jokowi, and had the participation of several musicians, activists, and thousands of Jakartans.
"You can all see that I am healthy," Jusuf Kalla remarked after meeting several representatives from foreign countries at the Vice Presidential Palace here on Tuesday (21/10).
