Puan Maharani's Billboard Appears In East Java, Ready For Nyapres 2024?

JAKARTA - Billboards with pictures of DPR Speaker Puan Maharani appeared at a number of points in the East Java region. Is this a sign that Puan will run in the 2024 presidential election from PDIP?

Regarding this, the chairman of the PDIP faction of the DPR, Utut Adianto, emphasized that everyone is free to put billboards anywhere as long as they comply with the rules.

According to him, it is legitimate if the appearance of the billboards is associated with the 2024 presidential election.

"You can put billboards anywhere," said Utut at the DPR building, Jakarta, Monday, June 14.

Utut said that Puan was ready to run in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. However, he again reminded that the decision of the presidential candidate from the PDIP could only be determined by the general chairman, Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"Mbak Puan is the Chair of the DPP for Political Affairs, this also shows her readiness, if she is indeed appointed (as a presidential candidate) and also introduces," he said.

However, the former deputy chairman of the DPR emphasized that currently Puan Maharani is still focused on her task of leading the parliament.

"Mbak Puan is currently concentrating fully on her duties as Chair of the DPR, the Chairperson of the DPR has a lot of turbulence," explained Utut.

From the billboards installed in the East Java area, two photos of Puan Maharani in a red dress clenching her right hand and a black dress are seen talking on the podium.

In addition, there is a message from the first president of Indonesia, Ir. Soekarno. The message sentence reads "whoever wants pearls, must dare to plunge into the deep ocean".
