The PDI-P invited a number of figures to celebrate the peak of Bung Karno Month (BBK) which was held at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (GBK), Jakarta, Saturday, June 24. PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto said one of those invited was the former TNI Commander General (ret) Andika Perkasa.

"Yes, we invited Mr. Andika," said Hasto in the SUGBK area, Jakarta, Saturday, June 24.

The invitation to Andika was conveyed because he made a pilgrimage to the grave of the First President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno in Blitar, East Java during the commemoration of the 53rd anniversary of the first president of the Republic of Indonesia. "Then communicate with mother (Megawati), and a few days earlier I also met Mr. Andika," said Hasto.

Regarding the certainty of Andika's presence, Hasto did not answer. He only hoped that the invitees could attend the event in person.

"Yes, we will see later, because we have distributed the invitations and then the enthusiasm is very high, of course we hope that those invited will be present later," he said.

Apart from Andika, PDIP also invited Ministers of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet, including the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Uno to SOE Minister Erick Thohir.

However, according to Hasto, not all ministers can attend in person. For example, like Sandiaga because he was carrying out the pilgrimage.

"So the ministers of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet who can carry out their duties in government duties and cannot attend, we understand," he said.

The name Andika Perkasa has recently been said to have joined the PDIP as a cadre. Not only that, he is said to be one of the candidates for the chairman of the success team, Ganjar Pranowo.

"Yes, I was assigned to later form a team. (The name Andika Perkasa, ed) is on my list," said PDIP DPP Chair Puan Maharani when she visited the preparations for the Bung Karno Month Peak celebration at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (GBK), Jakarta, Thursday, June 23.
