JAKARTA - PDI-P DPP chairman Puan Maharani said her party had many qualified cadres to advance in the upcoming 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada).

One of the cadres who are considered capable of being nominated is the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

"Mas Mayor of Solo is one of the cadres according to the mechanism we are considering running in the 2024 Pilkada," Puan told reporters at the At-Taufiq Mosque, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta, Monday evening, June 20.

Even so, Puan Maharani does not want to talk about whether Gibran will be nominated in DKI Jakarta to replace Anies Baswedan or in Central Java to replace Ganjar Pranowo. Because, PDIP is currently still focused on the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).

"It's still a long way off, we first have the presidential election in February because the regional election is still in November," he said.

While waiting for the momentum of the 2024 Pilkada, Puan advised Gibran to work on completing his duties as mayor. Likewise with other regional heads.

"After we have thoroughly prepared for the presidential election, after we finish the February presidential election, we will prepare for the regional election," said the chairman of the DPR RI.

"So now we focus on positions in districts, cities, or provinces," he concluded.
