Gema Puan Declared In Malang, Supports Putri Megawati To Be Presidential Candidate 2024

MALANG - Puan Maharani's volunteers and supporters in the Malang Regency, East Java, declared Gema Puan to provide support for the Speaker of the DPR to run as a presidential candidate in 2024.

Chairman of the Regional Leadership Council (DPD) Gema Puan of East Java, Nanang Sutrisno, said the declaration was aimed at showing that the figure of Puan Maharani had supporters to become a presidential candidate.

"We declare Puan Maharani the President of Indonesia 2024. Support can be given at any time, but for sure we have created momentum," Nanang said, quoted by Antara, Sunday, October 10.

Nanang explained that the step to make a declaration of support for Puan Maharani needed to be done because according to him, many other presidential candidates had started to appear to welcome the 2024 Presidential Election.

According to him, with the declaration of Gema Puan which was first made in Malang Regency, it is hoped that the figure of Puan Maharani will also be considered as one of Indonesia's future presidential candidates.

"This is to show that Puan Maharani also has strengths, and supporters, who are worthy of reckoning," he said.

Nanang added that the volunteers chose the figure of Puan Maharani to become Indonesia's presidential candidate because Puan already had a number of basic reasons. Among them is that Puan is a hard worker, and doesn't talk much.

Puan Maharani is also considered a recognized statesman, both domestically and internationally. In addition, Puan also has a strong spirit.

"The most basic reason is that Puan has a strong spirit to continue to ensure the upholding of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, the Constitution, and Pancasila. For us it is a fixed price," he said.

Gema Puan, which was declared in Malang Regency, was filled by volunteers supporting Puan Maharani with various backgrounds. Currently, in East Java, approximately 18 districts have been formed.

Although currently, no political party has issued a recommendation for Puan Maharani to become a presidential candidate for 2024, Gema Puan stated that they hope that the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), which Puan has raised, will make the recommendation.
