Mardiono Calls Not Ambitious To Be Chairman Of PPP, But Ready If Asked By Cadres

JAKARTA Acting Chairman of the United Development Party (PPP) Mardiono emphasized that he did not have the ambition to return to the chair of the general chairman. However, he stated that he was ready if the majority of the cadres wanted him to lead the party bearing the Kaaba symbol again.

Leading is a mandate, I am not ambitious. But if a leader is wanted by a person who wants to be led, of course that is a call for a cadre. If later all of Indonesia has the majority of it, God willing, I will fulfill the call," said Mardiono in his statement, Sunday, August 25.

The statement was made when Mardiono attended the 3rd Regional Working Conference (Mukerwil) of the DKI Jakarta PPP DPW on Tidung Island, Thousand Islands. His presence had surprised the cadres, including the Chairman of the DPW PPP Jakarta Saiful Rahmat Dasuki.

"If we view Jakarta today, we are the ones who need Mr. Mardiono to return to leadership. This is a surprise, thank you Mr. Ketum. We are very proud today," said Saiful.

This Mukerwil has resulted in a number of important decisions. The DPW of PPP Jakarta officially supports Mardiono to return to being the General Chair of PPP for the 2025-2030 period in the upcoming X Congress.

They also asked that the congress be held in a conducive and enthusiastic manner as an Islamic party towards the rise of PPP in the 2029 General Election.

In addition, Mukerwil expressed support for the work program of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, such as Free Nutrition Food (MBG), People's Schools, Red and White Village Cooperatives, Free Health Checks, and food self-sufficiency programs.

DPW PPP Jakarta is also committed to supporting the work program of the Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung 'Rano Karno, for the welfare of the citizens of the capital city.
