Once Giring and Raja Juli Handover Kaesang's Membership Card, Both Resign from PSI

In short, Kaesang was elected as the Chairman of PSI, succeeding Giring, during the Kopdarnas on Monday (25/9/2023).

At that time, PSI saw Kaesang as a successful young figure to lead.

"We decided to appoint Brother Kaesang Pangarep as the Chairman of DPP PSI for the 2023-2028 term," said Grace at the Djakarta Theater, Jakarta, on Monday night (25/9/2023).

Meanwhile, Giring, as the former chairman, took on a new role as a member of the Advisory Council of PSI, with his appointment taking place at the same event.

Giring, Raja Juli, and Isyana Leave PSI

Three years after the submission of the membership cards and the appointment of Kaesang as PSI Chairman, Giring, Raja Juli, and Isyana announced their exit from the party.

After serving two years as Deputy Minister of Culture, Giring admitted he increasingly understands the immense responsibility of serving the nation and state.

However, amid his political journey, Giring felt that he no longer aligned with PSI's direction and goals.

"I feel that there are things that no longer align with what I have advocated from the beginning," said Giring in a video statement on his social media on Monday (9/11/2026).

The decision to leave PSI was made after thorough personal consideration. In fact, he had made this decision the week before.

"After careful personal consideration, I decided last week to resign from PSI membership. Thank you to the entire PSI family for the trust and camaraderie over the years. I carry many life lessons that I will remember for a long time. I bid farewell from PSI," said Giring.

Then on Monday night (9/11/2026), it was Raja Juli Antoni's turn to announce his resignation from PSI.

His decision to leave the party was made to enable him to concentrate fully on his duties as Minister of Forestry while assisting President Prabowo Subianto.

"The reason is simple. I want to devote myself fully and concentrate entirely on helping President Prabowo Subianto as the Minister of Forestry. There are many directives from President Prabowo regarding the development of the forestry sector, such as forest rehabilitation, ecosystem restoration, and preserving our biodiversity, especially post-wildfire," said Raja Juli in his official statement.

Shortly after Raja Juli's announcement, Deputy Minister of Population and Family Development Isyana Bagoes Oka also announced her resignation from PSI.

In her statement, Isyana expressed her appreciation and gratitude to PSI for the trust she received during her time with the party.
