JAKARTA - Senior PDIP politician, Hendrawan Supratikno, responded to the widespread declaration of support for the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo. According to him, this phenomenon is part of the dynamics leading up to the 2024 presidential election (Pilpres). Moreover, it has been agreed that the presidential candidate will start on October 19, 2023.

However, Hendrawan reminded that the PDIP presidential candidate would be decided solely by General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"Part of the dialectic and deliberation is towards the best choice, which will be decided by the Ketum in due course," said Hendrawan to VOI, Wednesday, June 8.

Previously, the bull cadres had already spoken about the agility of Ganjar Pranowo's team in calling for the presidential election.

For example, PDIP politician Masinton Pasaribu doubts that the declaration made by village volunteers for Ganjar Pranowo or 'Des Ganjar' is an organic movement from the community. The national declaration which was held on Bandeng beach, Jepara Regency, was attended by thousands of people and lasted two days.

Then, there were Trimedya Pandjaitan and Bambang Wuryanto alias Bambang Pacul who called Ganjar 'kemlinthi' because they were passionate about nyapres. Responding to this, Hendrawan dismissed the turmoil within the party.

According to him, all party cadres remain focused on the tasks ordered by the chairman. It is also believed that the cadres are not easily carried away by issues that are currently being discussed by the public.

"We remain focused on working according to our respective main tasks. We are not interested in dancing to a rhythm arranged by other parties," said Hendrawan.

"We will not be carried away outside the party's provisions that are our grip," he continued.

Mentioning whether there is a problem with Ganjar with PDIP at this time, Hendrawan refused to comment. He only emphasized that all PDIP cadres must understand the party rules that are in line with Megawati's orders. "Anyway, all cadres understand the party's rules. They must not be exposed to the 3K virus: Kemajon, Kemlinthi and Keblinger," he said.
