JAKARTA - Chairman of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) of the United Development Party (PPP) Sandiaga Uno said that his party has a green economy development program that will be carried out in the future. This was conveyed by Sandiaga after the Bappilu PPP coordination meeting in the Kebayoran Baru area, South Jakarta. "We discuss all the aspirations that we have captured from the PPP DPW throughout the archipelago are strengthening PPP's offer on the green economy side," said Sandiaga. Sandiaga said that this program was run by PPP as an effort to strengthen the economy while reducing air pollution in Jakarta. "So, the tagline for cheap prices, easy work, and life blessings is very suitable. Moreover, we are talking about this green economy in the midst of Jakarta pollution which we are increasingly feeling is a problem that needs to be handled urgently," he continued. In this program, PPP will encourage the community to carry out economic activities while maintaining air quality in a sustainable manner. "PPP offers a sustainable economic green economy, an economy close to MSMEs. What we encourage is the use of a new and renewable economy. Also, we want PPP to have a solution to what millennials feel," said Sandiaga. On the other hand, the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy said that Bappilu PPP also discussed strategies to increase support for his party in the 2024 Legislative Election. PPP, said Sandiaga, targets its party to reach 11 million votes and get 40 to 50 seats in parliament. PPP will also strengthen party engines to gain support in the election for president-vice president and regional head elections. "We only have less than 60 days to determine the presidential and vice presidential candidates, and less than 180 days for February 14 (the voting day), therefore the PPP machine is now in 3rd gear. We will increase the acceleration so that the target reaches 11 million seats between 40-50 seats and we can achieve the target of winning the presidential and regional elections," he explained. Furthermore, Sandiaga also emphasized that he did not talk about alternative discourse on PPP political cooperation with other parties ahead of the 2024 General Election. What is clear is that PPP is still expressing its support for Ganjar as the 2024 presidential candidate and proposing Sandiaga as Ganjar vice presidential candidate according to the results of the PPP national leadership meeting (rapimnas) on June 17.

"Earlier, it was also conveyed the cadres' desire for PPP to participate in the presidential election procession in accordance with the rapid national election decision and it was emphasized earlier and later it will be conveyed by the Acting Ketum that in accordance with the rapid national election, PPP carries Mr. Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate and also reads the vice president from PPP. That was confirmed to be fought for," he concluded.
