He said the party bearing the bull symbol was still waiting for the right momentum. "The registration at the KPU itself, right, was only carried out on October 19,” Hasto told reporters at the PDIP DPP Office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Monday, September 25. "So in that context, we will look for excellent momentum, appropriate momentum, mature political calculations and readiness of the winning team that has been formed to the regions," he continued. Furthermore, Hasto said that the PDIP Rakernas IV is not only focused on the 2024 presidential election. In this activity, a number of discussions will be carried out to create domestic food sovereignty. "So the priority scale now is to sharpen the narrative about Indonesia's future which will be carried by Mr. Ganjar and his Mr X and then & helicopter; also Mrs. X. That's right," he said. Hasto has not detailed about Mrs X. However, the figure of a woman is also considered in Ganjar's vice presidential list because of his contribution to the nation's journey.

The announcement is waiting for the date of the game. It can be close to the moments of registration, it could also be long before, during the formation of this national winning team, it must be done first to the regions, ” he concluded.
