"We are still considering five names," said Puan in Semarang as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, August 26.

According to him, the five names of the candidates for vice president are still not narrowed because they are still under consideration, especially if a new name for the vice presidential candidate appears on the PDI-P list.

"So, we'll see later in time whether the names of the five names will be chosen or then there will be additional names that will appear on the PDI-P list," he said.

What is clear, continued Puan, is that until now there are still five names of candidates for vice president who are being discussed to ensure the figure who is right to accompany Ganjar as the candidate for president who is promoted by the party bearing the bull symbol.

"There are still five names, we will consider how good it will be in the future," he concluded.
