JAKARTA - The head of the National Winning Team (TPN) for the presidential candidate (candidate) Ganjar Pranowo, Arsjad Rasjid, has not been effective in carrying out his new duties.

From observations in the field, Arsjad was seen leaving the meeting at 15.50 WIB because he was going to take part in an event with President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). However, he had conveyed a statement that he had received the new assignment given.

"I can only give a little that as I said, I have not made a clarification, so today (I am clarifying as Chairman of TPN, ed)," he told reporters at the High End building, Kebon Sirih, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, September 13.

Meanwhile, PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto said Arsjad still had to finish his job before focusing on winning Ganjar. Among them are carrying out his duties as Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) and the president director of the company that is listed on the stock exchange.

"So some aspects of good governance must be fulfilled, but all directions (from the general chairman of the party supporting Ganjar, ed) have been conveyed to build unity by the national winning team," said Hasto.

It is believed that Hasto is ready to carry out the directives of the general chairmen that have been conveyed in this inaugural meeting. In particular, the directives continue to come down with the people and build cooperation between political parties and volunteers conveyed by PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"All directions have been conveyed to build a unity between political parties and volunteers organized by the National Winning Team," he said.

Previously reported, the parties supporting Ganjar consisting of PDIP, PPP, Hanura, and Perindo had agreed to form a National Winning Team (TPN) on Monday, September 4.

They then decided the Chairman of Kadin Arsjad Rasyid to be the chairman. Meanwhile, as a representative, the former TNI Commander General (Ret.) Andika Perkasa and former Deputy Chief of Police Gatot Edi.
