Megawati Concerning Presidential Candidates: Pay Attention To Tracks, Morals And Ethics

Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri reminded the public not to arbitrarily choose presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 2024 presidential election. Trace records to capabilities must be considered before voting.

"Anyone who will become a leader in the future must be carefully considered. The Indonesian people I love, I am speaking as the fifth president of the Republic of Indonesia. Don't be tempted, don't just look at his figure but his thoughts and hearts must be one," Megawati said in her political speech during her 51st PDIP Anniversary at the PDIP Party School, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 10.

Megawati also said that there are other things that the people must pay attention to when choosing. One of them is ethics because whoever is elected will be responsible for hundreds of millions of Indonesians.

"Observe its track record of morals and ethics, its responsibility and the ability to understand the expectations of more than 270 million Indonesians," said the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia.

This is then the reason for PDIP to carry Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD which was then supported by PPP, Hanura, and Perindo. He said, these two figures matched the criteria mentioned above.

In addition, this pair number three always fights for justice, especially in the field of law. "Ganjar Pranowo and Prof. Mahfud are the ones who meet the requirements," said Megawati.

They are both single dwi units, because there is no developed country without a leader who fights for the law to be fair. There is no developed country without leadership that is absent from the people," he continued.

As previously reported, PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto said the 51st Anniversary of the PDIP did not invite many guests. Only Vice President Ma'ruf Amin to the friends of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri were invited. "The event will be attended by Vice President Kiai Haji Ma'ruf Amin and several ministers from internal parties and who are friends of Mrs. Megawati," Hasto told reporters, Wednesday, January 10. Hasto said the anniversary of the party bearing the bull symbol was carried out simply. The theme taken was Satyameva Jayate, Truth Must Win'.

"The opening will be carried out at 10.00 WIB at the Party School," he said. Later this opening ceremony will be attended by 1.2 million administrators; 128 members of the DPR RI; 418 Provincial DPRD; 2874 DPRD Kab Kota; 131 Regional Heads; 124 deputy regional heads and 32 thousand legislative candidates online. They will all listen to Megawati's political speech.

As for the theme 'Satyameva Jayate, Truth Must Win' is chosen so that cadres always win the party and pair number three, Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD in the right way. Solid moves to win the election by being independent to be presented," said Hasto. After the event at the PDIP Party School was completed at 14.00 WIB, cadres were then asked to move in the community to celebrate. This activity started at 16.00 WIB.
