Ganjar Soal Plt Ketum PPP Mardiono Hadiri Halal Bihalal Partai Golkar: Mereka Punya Cara Berkonikasi

JAKARTA - Presidential Candidate number three, Ganjar Pranowo has no problem with the Acting Chairman of the Mardiono United Development Party (PPP) attending the halal bihalal held by the Golkar Party on Monday, April 15.

Mardiono diketahui hadir bersama Sekjen PPP Arwani Thomafi dalam acara halal bihalal keluarga besar Partai Golkar di Kantor DPP Partai Golkar, Jalan Anggrek Neli, Slipi, Jakarta Barat pada Senin, 15 April. Adapun partai ini merupakan salah satu penggung pasangan capres dan cawapres nomor tiga, Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD.

"It's okay. I think fellow party leaders maybe they have their own way of communicating," said Ganjar to reporters at the residence of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri, Jalan Teuku Umar, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, April 16.

Ganjar actually considered halal bihalal well implemented. There is nothing wrong with Mardiono's presence, especially from the context of traditions in the country.

"I think especially in the religious context, in my opinion, it's an Indonesian tradition, yes, between individuals and then they between party leaders. I think it's okay," he said.

It is known that Mardiono was present at the halal bihalal together with figures from other parties supporting pair number two, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

When asked about his presence, Mardiono admitted that he was invited to the event. "Oh yes, halal bihalal right. Yes (invited by the General Chairperson of the Golkar Party Airlangga Hartarto, ed)," he told reporters at the halal bihalal location, Monday, April 15 evening.
