Now Playing: Trump Says He's 'not Going To Be President'

JAKARTA - Senior PDIP politician Hendrawan Supratikno insists that his party is currently busy so as not to comment on the polemic between the Governor of Central Java Ganjar Pranowo and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Puan Maharani.

The rivalry between the two PDIP cadres became more apparent after Ganjar was not invited by Puan at the opening ceremony of the Marhaen Essay Photo Exhibition and Photos of Heritage Buildings in Panti Marhaen, Semarang, central Java, Saturday, May 22.

"It's very busy," hendrawan confirmed VOI, Monday, May 24.

Elite PDIP previously said that ganjar was not invited because he was considered too ambitious to run for president in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. In fact, Puan is the one who will be carried out by pdip.

On different occasions, Secretary General of DPP PDI Perjuangan Hasto Kristiyanto said his party is focusing on helping President Jokowi overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.

He urged that all party cadres should put forward the work of comprehensive consolidation of the party. As for Capres and Cawapres, he said, the affairs of the party's general chairman.

"The main concentration of the party today is to help President Jokowi work together to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic with its various variants, not on the issue of the 2024 presidential elections," Hasto said in a statement, Monday, May 24.

According to him, there are still many people who underestimate the impact of the pandemic. The grassroots party structure report concludes that the impact of the pandemic on economic life is very real. Therefore, the attention of all parties to overcome the economic impact is very important and a top priority.

Menyoal Pemilu 2024, said Hasto, considering the Congress V Party has given authority to the Chairman of the Party Megawati Soekarnoputri, in the form of a prerogative to establish capres and cawapres in the 2024 elections then the best choice of the party today for all party cadres in all three pillars of the party is to consolidate the party thoroughly.

"Party consolidation also concerns aspects of ideology, politics, programs, cadres, and resource consolidation. Consolidation of ideology so that the Indonesian nation is stronger with Pancasila in all aspects of national life, so that the future President of the Republic of Indonesia will not be burdened by the issue," he explained.

Hasto reminded, that the consolidation of the three pillars of the party must be held in a more structured, systematic and massive. He said that the structural of the party, the regional head and the deputy head of the region, as well as the legislative leadership together fought in the spirit of mutual cooperation for the people.

"All must be pro-active as party cadres," he said.

Hasto called on cadres to continue to close ranks given that many parties are already doing 'Political Dance' for the 2024 General Election. According to him, do not give anyone from outside the party a chance to divide the power of the white-snout bull party.

"The party by granting prerogatives to the chairman of the party has successfully ushered Mr. Jokowi as president, and is now entering a second period for a more advanced Indonesia. Continue to move downwards with the people, so that when the political momentum for Ms. Megawati to make a decision, all party cadres have been rooted in the spirit of collectivity for the success of the nation and the state of Indonesia," said Hasto.
