The PDI-P Presidential Candidate Ganjar Pranowo will continue his visit to Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) on Sunday morning. In Kota Seribu Masjid itu, Ganjar diagendakan mengikuti sejumlah kegiatan, di antaranya konsolidasi di Kantor DPD PDIP NTB, berikutaturahmi ke Kantor DPW PPP NTB, berjarah ke makam TGKH Zainuddin Abdul Madjid, dan berkocarasi di Lapangan Nasional. Chairman of the DPD PDIP NTB Rachmat Hidayat said Ganjar's activities began with giving directions on the PDIP consolidation agenda, then heading to the NTB PPP DPW Office. "After that, just go to the tomb garden of Mr. Guru Bajang or TGB who is a national hero. After leaving the tomb, only to the National Square which will be attended by 25 thousand to 28 thousand PDIP masses. Later there will be all volunteers, maybe more. I will spend my strength for the 28 thousand," said Rachmat in his official statement, Antara, Sunday, June 18. According to Rachmat, the National Field is the same place as the Chairperson of the PDIP DPP Megawati Soekarnoputri and the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to sit as head of state. "This is the National Field that we are using to bring in Mas Ganjar, this is a historic field for the Party. Three times the party won, in 1999 Mrs. Megawati oration won. 2014 Jokowi won and 2019 Jokowi won," he said. The member of Commission VIII of the DPR RI explained that the DPD PDIP NTB was trying to win Ganjar with a target of 51 percent of the votes. This figure is a directive from Megawati which has not been achieved in the 2019 presidential election. He mentioned that in the 2019 presidential election, Jokowi's victory in NTB was around 28 percent. However, Rachmat saw that the enthusiasm of the people of NTB towards Ganjar was very high, so he was optimistic that he could win the majority votes. "Now if you look at the public's acceptance of Ganjar, I dare to say 51 percent. Even though it can be more than the target," he said.
