The PDI-P (PDIP) move to fire Budiman Sudjatmiko as a cadre is considered an effort to maintain solidity. The party bearing the bull symbol does not want a personal decision to influence other cadres to provide support to presidential candidates (candidates) other than Ganjar Pranowo.
"If it is allowed ( Budiman Sudjatmiko's decision, ed) will damage PDIP. It will damage the unity, solidity at PDIP," said Executive Director of Indonesia Political Review (IPR) Ujang Komarudin to VOI, Saturday, August 26.
Ujang assessed Budiman's decision to support the General Chair of the Gerindra Party, Prabowo Subianto, could be because it started with disappointment. However, this usually happens ahead of the presidential election (pilpres).
"That is a consequence every time before the election in many parties," he said.
"There is always internal disappointment regarding the presidential candidate being carried so that there are cadres who jump the fence, some come out," continued Ujang.
Even so, Budiman is considered ready with the final decision taken by his party. This is because he still provides different support from the PDIP which carries Ganjar Pranowo.
"So I see that this is dynamic, part of the hustle and bustle of supporting the presidential candidate. It could be that Budiman is disappointed so he wants to find another path, another way to support so that what he does is a personal attitude that is ready with consequences," he explained.
As previously reported, Budiman was officially fired after a decree was signed by PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri and PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto on Thursday, August 24.
"Giving organizational sanctions in the form of dismissal of Budiman Sudjatmiko from the members of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle," read a letter of dismissal circulating quoted on Thursday, August 24.
