Joko Widodo may have stepped down as Indonesia's president, but analysts say his political ambitions appear far from over. His first political tour since leaving office is being seen as an effort to strengthen the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), while securing his sons' political future ahead of the 2029 elections.

Some observers also see it as an early sign that Jokowi wants Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, his eldest son, to remain as President Prabowo Subianto's running mate in 2029. But others caution that Jokowi's influence as a political kingmaker may not be as strong as it once was.
