So this was also discussed in the meeting of Megawati and President Jokowi."This is done for the future of the nation and state. For the sake of the continuity of leadership since Bung Karno, then Mrs. Mega, Pak Jokowi and future leadership," said Hasto in response to reporters after the TNI Talkshow was We at the PDIP Office, Sunday, November 9.Hasto added that the election is a momentum to prepare the nation's leaders. That's why PDIP is looking for a person who is able to carry out this responsibility."We are not looking for a leader who can only narrate success, so when there is flooding in an area with 30,000 RTs, then flooding (overtaking) 30 RTs, it is said to be less than one percent. Politics is not a calculation of one to five percent. But responsibility for the nation and state," said Hasto.It's just that Hasto said that the discussion about yesterday's election (antara Megawati and Jokowi, ed) had nothing to do with the declaration of Nasdem (usung Anies Baswedan Candidate, ed)."It has nothing to do with that," said Hasto.Hasto said, the meeting between Megawati and Jokowi was planned periodically. Often held at the Merdeka Palace, Bogor Palace, and yesterday it was necessary to make contactative adjustments to be carried out in Batu Tulis.Why did Batu write? Hasto said there was a historical reason. Jokowi was once governor of DKI Jakarta prepared by Megawati as a presidential candidate and the meeting was held in Batu Tulis."So that's somewhere, which has historically been Pak Jokowi's leadership is also very strong. It is this spiritual atmosphere that takes up the fundamental discussion of the nation and state," he explained.Regarding the vice presidential candidate, he said it was Megawati's authority and the disciplined party was waiting for her directions. He also emphasized that PDIP did not nominate candidates to hunt for the effects of the tail of a suit."The PDI-P nominates leaders with the awareness that leading nations and countries is not lightly responsible. It is necessary to prepare carefully, what is the hope of the people, which will be answered by the PDI-P," said Hasto.Then, Hasto told the story. He asked Megawati after yesterday's meeting about who the presidential and vice-presidential candidates were."I asked Mrs. Mega, how is the presidential candidacy? Mrs. Mega just replied to being patient. Wait for the time," Hasto finished with a smile.
