Secretary General Of PAN Calls Ganjar-Erick The Right Combination For Presidential And Vice Presidential Candidates

JAKARTA - Secretary General of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Eddy Soeparno said that the figures of Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo and SOE Minister Erick Thohir were figures who had a complete and precise combination to pair up in the 2024 presidential and vice presidential election contestation.

According to Eddy, Ganjar and Erick Thohir represent two groups of voters who have often been used, namely representing Java and Outside Java.

"Don't forget that they are the right combination, namely Java and Sumatra," said Eddy, Sunday, February 26.

Previously, PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan gave his opening speech at the PAN National Coordination Meeting in Semarang, Central Java, Sunday (26/2/2023). This event was also attended by President Joko Widodo.

Ganjar was present at the event as the Regional Head. Eddy sees that Ganjar is the best choice because he often occupies the top positions in various presidential candidate surveys.

On the other hand, at the event, Erick Thohir was also present who was an inspirational and professional young figure. In addition, Erick also has a very close relationship with PAN.

"(So), it feels right if they participate in the presidential and vice presidential candidates to build Indonesia in 2024 in the future," said Eddy.

Previously, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) admitted that he was surprised why PAN held a National Coordination Meeting in Semarang, even though the party did not have a seat in Central Java.

Then, while joking, Jokowi said that PAN was doing it to get close to Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo.

"So, last night I was wondering why the National Coordination Meeting for PAN's Victory, really, was in Central Java, even though Central Java didn't have any (curses). Oh, this is a strategy, approaching Pak Ganjar, this is correct," said Jokowi.
