Ogah Lirik Kaesang In Pilgub, PDIP DKI: If It's A Democratic Defect, Don't Repeat It Again

JAKARTA - Secretary of the DKI Jakarta PDI-P Regional Leadership Council (DPD) Deserves Nainggolan saying that his party will not choose President Joko Widodo's youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep, to be carried in the DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election this year.

In this case, the route for Kaesang to advance for the DKI gubernatorial election is open after the decision of the Supreme Court (MA) which changed the age requirements for the candidate for governor-deputy governor to at least 30 years from the time of nomination to the time of inauguration.

"Ah, that's right. If there is a democratic defect, don't repeat it again," Pantas told reporters, Tuesday, June 11.

Appropriate to value, the opportunity for Kaesang to run for the gubernatorial election currently has the same mode as the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK). The Constitutional Court provides a way for Jokowi's eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka to run in the 2024 presidential election.

The Constitutional Court's decision was also proven to have violated the code of ethics and was considered by a number of people as a trick to smooth out personal interests.

"The term is, not our constitution, our legislation is made into toys," said Pantas.

Moreover, there is no name of the PSI General Chair in the proposal accommodated by the DKI Jakarta PDIP DPD from cadres at the branch and branch levels of the party.

"There is no one (proposing the name Kaesang) in the results of the screening. That is, it is more rational," he said.

Now, the DPD PDIP DKI Jakarta has proposed a number of names who are candidates to be promoted in the 2024 DKI Jakarta Governor and Deputy Governor Election (Pilgub).

A total of 10 names of DKI gubernatorial candidates were arrested to be handed over to PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.

Some of the names mentioned are PDIP cadres, ranging from former TNI Commander Andika Perkasa, former DKI Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok), Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, and Member of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Rasyidi.

Not only that, PDIP also proposed names outside of cadres in the DKI Jakarta Pilgub caddat, namely former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Hanura Party DPD, Djafar Badjeber.

"Then there are other names that I don't remember because they are not very popular," added Pantas.
