Anies Has Not Communication With PDIP Regarding The Jakarta Pilkada

Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto said Anies Baswedan had not yet opened communication with his party regarding the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election.

This was conveyed by Hasto in response to the opportunity to carry Anies in the contest which will take place in November 2024. Meanwhile, the PDIP emphasized that Hasto was focusing on absorbing people's expectations.

"The names mentioned earlier (Anies Baswedan, ed) have not communicated politically with the party's DPP because the DPP also listens to the expectations of the people regarding the special area of the capital," Hasto told reporters at the PDIP DPP Office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, May 22.

Hasto said there is a lot of hope for people in Jakarta. Among them are air pollution to build a comfortable public transportation system.

"That's the concern of the PDI-P DPP," he said.

PDIP is currently still waiting for the implementation of the National Working Meeting V to finalize a strategy to fight in the regions. "DPP has also formed a special team in relation to the simultaneous regional elections," said Hasto.

As previously reported, the National Awakening Party (PKB) is considering supporting Anies Baswedan to run again in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. A number of parties are said to have provided input.

"Initial communication to be precise. So in stages, PKB has not issued an official recommendation, but from the results of a discussion on chat from Mr. Anies' left right friend, we will consider Mr. Anies if he progresses again," said Deputy Secretary General of PKB, Syaiful Huda at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 21.

Even so, the Chairman of Commission X of the DPR said that until today PKB still wants to nominate its cadre who is also the Minister of Manpower, Ida Fauziah. So, Huda asked all parties to wait for his party's attitude regarding the figure promoted in Jkarta.
