Step On Gas To Discuss 2024 Pilkada, PDIP Holds National Coordination Meeting

The PDI-P (PDIP) began discussing the 2024 regional head elections (Pilkada) after the Constitutional Court (MK) rejected the Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD camp's lawsuit regarding the results of the 2024 presidential election. The national coordination meeting (Rakornas) was held at the PDIP DPP office, Diponegoro Street, Menteng, Central Jakarta.

The meeting was chaired directly by the Secretary General of the PDIP DPP Hasto Kristiyanto and attended by the Chairperson of the PDIP DPP Djarot Saiful Hidayat, Ahmad Basarah, Ribka Tjibtaning, Yasonna Laoly and the Chairman of the Election Winning Body Bambang Pacul Wuryanto, Head of the Honorary Court of the Komarudin Watubun Party, Chairman of the PDIP faction Utut Adianto, and Deputy Governor Rudianto Tjen.

"This is a national coordination meeting in order to prepare for the simultaneous regional elections which will be held in November 2024," said Hasto while leading the National Coordination Meeting, Monday, April 22.

The leadership of the PDIP DPD from all provinces also participated in this activity. "Gather all the chairmen, secretaries, and treasurers of the Party as well as all the candidates who get the most votes in each electoral district," said the former member of the DPR RI.

Hasto said the initial mapping to prepare the party engine in the regional elections was being carried out. They are ready to nominate the best cadres from the party," he said.

In the future, Hasto said that PDIP will open space for leaders from various circles to participate in the contestation. However, there are a number of stages that must be followed.

In addition, the name chosen will not simply be carried as a candidate for regional head. Because, they must first participate in education as cadres.

"Of course, through psychological tests, then political mapping, consolidation into the survey, and then after being declared as candidates, they will attend party schools," concluded Hasto.
