JAKARTA - The management of the PDI-Perjuangan DPP came to the RI General Election Commission (KPU) office, Tuesday, August 4. They came to submit a list of management at the provincial and district / city levels for the 2020 Pilkada.

PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto said that the handover of party management in the regions that participated in this political contest was a form of readiness for parties as election participants to participate in all stages of the 2020 Pilkada.

"We submit all the data. For the PDI Perjuangan, of the 270 regions that take part in the regional elections, all of them have definitive status, both as chairman of the DPD party and chairman of the party DPC together with the secretary have the authority to convey candidate pairs," said Hasto at the KPU RI Office, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, August 4.

Then, Hasto said that his party would simultaneously register Paslon who would fight in the Pilkada, on 4 September 2020 at each regional level KPU. This, said Hasto, is proof that PDIP supports the KPU for simultaneous registration.

"Regarding simultaneous registration, we will also support the KPU so that PDIP will register on the first day simultaneously on September 4, 2020, which coincides with Friday," he said.

He continued, in the near future PDIP will again announce 75 regional head candidate pairs who will take part in the 2020 simultaneous regional elections. He did not mention which regions would be announced.

"For the next, we will announce 75 candidate pairs at once." (This announcement) at the same time builds the spirit of nationalist patriotism in the framework of Indonesian independence. In the near future we will announce it, "he said.

Currently, the name of the candidate pair that has not been mentioned, one of which is the candidate who will compete in Medan and Surabaya. Regarding the election for the mayor of Medan, the name Bobby Nasution has been championed. Meanwhile in Surabaya, PDIP no longer carries Tri Rismaharini because it is no longer able to progress.

In addition, KPU Chairman Arief Budiman said that currently there are only two parties that have submitted a list of names for their management at the regional level, namely the PDIP and the Democratic Party.

"Hopefully this will be an important message to political parties that have not submitted their list of management to be submitted immediately. So that, when the nomination period arrives, all the documents will be well received by the election organizers," Arief explained.
