JAKARTA - PDI-P DPP chairman Djarot Saiful Hidayat responded to the possibility of Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka being promoted as a candidate for governor in the 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada). According to him, President Joko Widodo's eldest son (Jokowi) should focus on completing his duties first. .

"Mas Gibran was given the opportunity how a leader can't be instant. Let him focus first on Solo," Djarot told reporters at the PDIP DPP Party School, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta, Wednesday, June 22.

Djarot reminded that the 2024 Pilkada process is still far away. Gibran must continue the legacy of his previous leadership, including former Solo Mayor Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and FX. Rudy Haryatmo.

After all, the evaluation of Gibran's success or failure will be given by the community.

"So, just focus on Solo for maximum work to further advance the people," he said.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chair 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.
