JAKARTA - Acting (Plt) Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Giring Ganesha expressed his desire to become a presidential candidate in 2024. What capital?

From the results of the 2019 Election, it was found that PSI did not pass the parliamentary threshold or parliementary threshold (PT). Meanwhile, to run for President, it requires a requirement of 20 percent of DPR seats as regulated by Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections.

Apart from the terms of the nomination, Giring said that the great capital comes from the spirit of the youth. This dream is what he thinks can be realized.

"What capital does PSI have? Wong, yesterday PSI did not pass the PT, one thing is clear. Our capital is the big dream of young people who continue to fight with us PSI, both from the elected candidates, DPD officials, DPW, DPP PSI, "said Giring in a virtual press conference, Monday, August 24.

In addition, Giring said that PSI would invite a number of other parties to form a coalition. He hopes that a number of parties can support him by 2024.

"We from PSI always open the door to national relations for all. Later, in the journey there will be coalitions created. We will find that we have the same DNA," explained Giring.
