The PDI-P invited a number of parties to the peak of Bung Karno Month (BBK) at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) today, Saturday, June 24.

PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto said party chairmen such as Acting Chairman of the Mardiono United Development Party (PPP), Chairman of the Hanura Party Oesman Sapta Odang, and Chairman of the Perindo Party Hary Tanoesoedibjo were confirmed to attend. Likewise with other parties, such as the National Justice Party (PKB) and the Golkar Party.

"Later we will see those who attended and this shows how the PDI-P puts forward the spirit of mutual cooperation," Hasti told reporters at SUGBK, Senayan, Central Jakarta, Saturday, June 24.

As for the Democratic Party, Hasto said he had discussed the peak BBK event with the Secretary General of Democrats Teuku Riefky Harsya. Both of them are intense in communicating.

However, he did not invite to maintain political ethics. The reason is that Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono's party has established political cooperation with NasDem and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) to carry Anies Baswedan in the 2024 presidential election.

"The important thing is that we communicate intensely and after this we will continue what has been done between Mbak Puan Maharani and Mas AHY," explained Hasto.

Previously, PDIP would hold a grand consolidation with the theme 'Grove the Hands of Unity for Greater Indonesia' on Saturday, June 24. Hundreds of thousands of party cadres bearing the bull symbol are expected to crowd the GBK area.

"So it is extraordinary that this activity will be attended by all participants from all over Indonesia who are assumed to reach 100 thousand people," said Chairman of the Bung Karno Month Committee, Rano Karno in a written statement, Wednesday, June 21.
