JAKARTA - Secretary of the DPD PDIP DKI Jakarta Gembong Warsono views that the actions of the PDIP faction member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Cinta Mega, who played games during the plenary meeting of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, will not reduce the electability of his party. According to Gembong, the case of Cinta Mega is an individual error that violates ethics as a member of the council. Thus, it is believed that Gembong did not have an impact on the party led by Megawatir Soekarnoputri. "God willing, this is just an individual," said Gembong to reporters, Wednesday, July 26. Gembong continued, the case of Cinta Mega has been used as a lesson for all PDIP cadres to avoid ethical neglect and be even more enthusiastic about winning their party in the 2024 Legislative Election. "Our party performance is boosted by presenting all party administrators throughout DKI Jakarta. Hopefully, it will be a lesson as well as a trigger for friends to work to the maximum in winning parties in their respective regions," explained Gembong. Members of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Cinta Mega, are subject to sanctions for interim replacement (PAW) from their positions due to playing games during a plenary meeting of the DKI Jakarta DPRD. The dismissal of Cinta Mega from the position of a member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD was decided at the DKI Jakarta PDIP Regional Leadership Council (DPD) plenary meeting on Tuesday, July 25 evening. "Previously, I apologize for the behavior of my member named Cinta Mega. Whatever the game, it's wrong there. So there's nothing wrong with the slot, the game, it's wrong, it's the point," said DPD PDIP DPD chairman DKI Jakarta Adi Widjaja at the DPD PDIP DKI Jakarta office. "Earlier we had a plenary meeting because everything we make is normal through this plenary meeting. After the plenary meeting we will impose sanctions in the form of PAW," continued Adi. Adi said that his party would send a letter of application for PAW Cinta Mega to the PDIP Central Leadership Council (DPP) tonight. Furthermore, the DPP will submit PAW to the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD to be forwarded to the General Elections Commission (KPU). However, Adi has not disclosed who the cadre will replace Cinta Mega in the Jakarta parliament seat for the 2019-2024 period. "Yes, that will be later," said Adi.

Meanwhile, Adi submitted the decision to the DPP regarding the fate of Cinta Mega whether to be fired from the status of a PDIP cadre or not. "Later let the DPP decide," he said.
