He also emphasized that he is ready to continue the great work of President Joko Widodo if he wins in the 2024 presidential election. "Of course, today the development that has been carried out by Pak Jokowi must be continued," said Ganjar in a written statement received by Antara in Jakarta, Saturday, April 22. After his announcement as a candidate for president by PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri at the Batu Palace, Bogor, West Java, Friday, April 21, Ganjar was in a car and one plane with Jokowi headed for Central Java. On that trip, Ganjar admitted that he received many messages from Jokowi. While on the plane, Ganjar said that Jokowi told him a lot, one of the question of acceleration and development leaps. "Pulang, I accompanied the President, 50 minutes on the plane. Many of him also told how to jump, accelerate. Of course Pak Jokowi must have laid a very strong foundation," said Ganjar.

Menurut Ganjar, melanjutkan kinerja pembangunan Jokowi adalah langkah awal untuk menciptakan kemajuan ekonomi di Indonesia. Oleh sebab itu, dia mengaku harus menjaga kinerja tersebut."Satu cerita,hilirasasi saja sebenarnya bisa menaikkan lompatan ekonomi yang besar. Saya harus menjaga itu. Ini mesti kami jaga dan kami lanjutkan," tambahnya.Dengan didasari hal itu, Ganjar mengatakan dia perlupasangan bakal calon wakil presiden yang memiliki visi serupa dan bisa bekerja sama melanjutkan pembangunan Jokowi. Namun demikian, Ganjar meminta publik menunggu keputusan terkait calon pasangannya."Jadi, ada banyak agenda-agenda itulah yang mesti dipersiapkan, sehingga pasangan nantinya wakilnya kami harapkan se-visi, punya komitmen yang sama untuk melaksanakan," katanya.
