It Has Been Proven, Puan Maharani's Action Is Assessed To Be Able To Win Ganjar In The 2024 Presidential Election

JAKARTA - The chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP, Puan Maharani, was assigned to make the winning team Ganjar Pranowo in the 2024 presidential election. Puan herself has been proven successful in becoming a 'Fighter' for Ganjar in the Central Java Governor Election (Pilgub) twice.

As is known, Puan became the Chair of the Ganjar Winning Team in the 2013 Central Java gubernatorial election and the 2018 Central Java gubernatorial election. Not surprisingly, PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri again assigned Puan to become the commander of Ganjar's winning team. In addition to the presidential election, the chairman of the DPR RI is also mandated to be responsible in the PDIP winning team for the 2024 legislative election.

Director of the Nusakom Pratama Political Studies Institute, Ari Junaedi, assessed that Megawati's decision to appoint Puan to form Ganjar's winning team was not without reason. Under Puan's command, Ganjar managed to get 48.82% of the votes in the 2013 Central Java gubernatorial election and won a landslide victory in the 2018 Central Java gubernatorial election with 58.78% of the votes.

Puan's political work cannot be taken lightly. Twice winning Ganjar in the Central Java gubernatorial election is no less powerful," said Ari Junaedi, Monday, April 24.

Even Ganjar himself has admitted that Puan's success in winning her in 2 periods of the Central Java gubernatorial election and referred to Puan as the Commander of the Combat. Therefore, Ari believes that Puan will also succeed in winning Ganjar in the 2024 presidential election at the same time being able to bring a harmonious rhythm within the PDIP.

"Puan has proven to be capable and remains upright with the orders of the General Chairperson of the PDI-P DPP," said the University of Indonesia (UI) Political Communication Expert.

Ari added that Puan's assignment as a combat commander to win Ganjar in the 2024 presidential election is proof of the absence of rivalry and competition between factions within the party bearing the head of the white-nosed bull.

Because Puan was relieved to accept Ganjar as the PDIP presidential candidate and stated that she was ready to become the commander of the winning team even though the first woman to serve as Chairman of the DPR RI also received a lot of support to run as a presidential candidate.

"With Puan as the head of the presidential election winning team for Ganjar, it is a sign of solidity in the PDIP body," said Ari.

In addition to being the commander of Ganjar's winning team in the presidential election, Puan also received a direct task from Megawati for the PDIP victory in the 2024 Legislative Election. Ari assessed that Puan had the capacity to carry out this task.

"It must be remembered, Puan's achievements in the Legeslative Election were successful. She was the most votes winner at the national level during the several election events she participated in," he said.

In the 2019 Legislative Election, Puan managed to advance to Senayan with the highest votes. He won 404,034 votes in the Election Area of Central Java V, which includes Klaten, Sukoharjo, Boyolali, and Surakarta City. This made him the legislative candidate with the most votes.

In the 2014 Legislative and 2009 Pileg, Puan was also included in the list of candidates with the highest votes. President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is also known to have won a landslide victory in Puan's electoral district.

"The Puan Election Area which includes Solo Raya, Sukoharjo, Klaten and Boyolali consistently won Puan with fantastic numbers," he said.

"Similarly with the presidential election which won Jokowi for two terms," added Ari.

Puan also succeeded in bringing PDIP to become the winning party in the 2014 Election. In the 2014 Legislative Election, PDIP was in first place with 23,681,471 or 18.95 percent of the votes when Puan served as Chair of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu). Whereas in the 2009 election, PDIP was in third position.

Because of this success, Megawati's election to head the winning team for Presidential Candidate Ganjar Pranowo in the 2024 presidential election was considered not surprising. Ari assessed that Puan's political performance was worthy of recognition.

"The advantage will be even more ensured if the winning orchestration conductor is in the right hands," he said.

Previously, Ganjar Pranowo stated that his success as Governor of Central Java for two terms could not be separated from Puan Maharani's assistance as the head of the winning team for him in the gubernatorial election. He referred to Puan as his 'Fight Commander'.

"In particular, thank you to Mbak Puan, who in his duties as a political commander in Central Java for up to two terms," said Ganjar after being appointed as a presidential candidate from PDIP.

"Mbak Puan, who now serves as Chairman of the DPRRI, the best female cadre," added Ganjar.

Puan herself has confirmed that she is ready to carry out her duties as commander of Ganjar's winning team in the 2024 presidential election and for PDIP in the legislative elections. He emphasized that he was upright with the party's orders.

Another trust and trust from the General Chair that I received. As a party official, I am always ready to accept the assignment of the General Chairman, perpendicular! " said Puan.
