With Regard To The Council Of Colonels And The Corporal Council For Representative Of Ganjar Vs Puan

YOGYAKARTA Volunteers Ganjar Pranowo and Puan Maharani are concurrently with each other again. After several elite Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) formed a Council of Colonels, the Corporal Council has now emerged. Then, what is the Council of Colonels and the Real Corporal Council?

The presence of the Council of Colonels and the Corporal Council is not far from the big theme of the general election (Pemilu) which will be held in 2024. The two 'dewans' represent the candidate to be carried by the party in the 2024 election.

In general, the Council of Colonels is a group formed by several PDIP cadres who are tasked with helping Puan Maharani in the 2024 presidential election later.

Member of the House of Representatives (DPR) of the PDIP faction, Johan Budi, the Council of Colonels, is intended as a gathering place for Puan fans. He said that the group that was formed three months ago would seek to increase the electability of Puan Maharani.

The initial Council of Colonels consisted of 6 people, namely Johan Budi who was the initiator, Trimedya Panjaitan acted as coordinator, Hendrawan Supratikno, Masinton Pasaribu, and Agustina Wilujeng.

Although it contains PDIP cadres, Johan emphasized that the Colonel Council is not bound by the PDIP DPP. He also revealed who the members of the Council of Colonels who have now been formed are as follows.

As if he didn't want to be left behind, loyalist Ganjar Pranowo also planned to form a similar group called the Corporal Council. The task of the group is also similar, namely to guard Ganjar Pranowo in the 2024 presidential election.

The head of volunteer Ganjar Pranowo Mania (GP Mania) Immanuel Ebenezer or Noel explained that the Corporal Council was able to compete with the Council of Colonels which was formed to improve the image of Puan Maharani who now serves as Chair of the DPR as well as Chair of the PDI-P DPP.

"We will also form a corporate council. Yes, if the elite can form a colonel council, we will form a corporate council," said Noel, Wednesday, September 21.

What is interesting from the Corporal Council is that its members are claimed to contain elements of society, not political elites such as the Puan Maharani Council.

"All supporting components, volunteers, Mas Ganjar. Whether it's from kiai, students, laborers, farmers, we will form a corporate council," he explained.

Noel also explained that the inauguration of the Corporal Council group will be carried out in the near future and held throughout Indonesia in full by announcing the organizational structure. "Later, we will convey the structure of the corporate council," concluded Noel.

Regarding the existence of the Council of Colonels, political communication observer at Esa Unggul University, Jamiluddin Ritonga, considers that PDIP will be more stable in carrying Puan Maharani as a presidential candidate in 2024.

"The formation of the Council of Colonels is known and approved by Bambang Pacul who is also the Chairman of the PDIP Central Executive Board. If Bambang Pacul approves it, of course it is with the blessing of Puan Maharani," said Jamiluddin, Thursday, September 22.

Jamiluddin Ritonga also said that when the Council of Colonels and the Corporal Council fought, PDIP votes would be divided.

"The battle between the two councils is certainly interesting to follow. Can the Corporal Council outperform the Colonel Council, let time tell?" concluded Jamiluddin.
