Meet Pluit Reservoir Residents, Ganjar Pranowo Make Sure The Choice Doesn't Shift Due To Social Assistance

Presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo emphasized that he would continue social assistance for the people, but with the right target. This is because the distribution of social assistance will be based on the Sakti ID card, namely a more transparent and clear community data collection system because the data source is one, namely the identity of the population.

Therefore, Ganjar ensured that residents around the Pluit Reservoir, Penjaringan, North Jakarta would not easily shift their choices because they received social assistance (bansos).

"So I asked earlier that you were ready to come (to the TPS). Are you afraid? No, he said. Maybe later you will be given assistance, you will move it? No sir," said Ganjar in his statement in Jakarta, Saturday.

This presidential candidate, supported by the PDI-P, PPP, Hanura and Perindo, wants to emphasize the hearts of the people so that they can exercise their voting rights freely and without pressure.

"Hopefully this will become our energy and you can see from the eyes of the people, the way they shout in response, there is sincerity there," he said.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the PDI-P DPP, Puan Maharani, asked party cadres and sympathizers to choose three, the PDI-P serial number and the Ganjar-Mahfud candidate.

"Ganjar-Mahfud," asked Puan.

"Win, win, win," shouted the crowd wearing red attributes.

On that occasion, Deputy Chairman of Commission IX of the Indonesian House of Representatives Charles Honoris also explained that residents should not be affected by the social assistance they received.

"Social assistance is our money, people's money from taxes. So social assistance is indeed the right of the people, it should not affect the people's choice," said the candidate from the PDI-P in the DKI III electoral district.

The KPU determined the participants in the 2024 presidential election, namely the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar pair number 1, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka number 2, and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD number 3.

The campaign period will take place from 28 November 2023 to 10 February 2024, while the voting schedule will be on 14 February 2024.
