JAKARTA - PDI-P DPP chairman Puan Maharani once asked PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri about her choice of presidential candidate.

He asked his mother if anyone already knew the choice of the candidate she supported. This moment happened in the middle of a media interview. At that time, Puan continued media statements to Megawati.

"Do you have the DPP yet to know what's in your heart about the presidential candidate?" said Puan to Megawati after the PDI-P II National Working Meeting at the Party School, Jakarta, Thursday, June 23.

Hearing this answer, Megawati, who was next to Puan, answered briefly with a smile.

"Try asking the DPP-DPP," said Megawati briefly.

Before she asked Megawati, Puan said that the name of the presidential candidate from the PDIP had actually been in Megawati's heart. However, it is not yet time to open it to the public because it is waiting for momentum.

"Yes, it's there, of course, it's just in the heart of Mrs. Ketum, it can't be conveyed yet," said the chairman of the DPR.

When asked whether Puan already knew the name of the presidential candidate in Megawati's heart, she admitted that she had not been informed either.

"I was just asking," he said.

Previously, Megawati said that she was still counting the figures who would be put forward in the 2024 Presidential Election. Megawati said the calculations had not yet been completed.

"As the general chairman, I have to calculate that, you know. So my calculations have not been completed," said Megawati.

Then, Megawati also talked about the criteria for the presidential candidate she would carry in the 2024 presidential election when she made a speech to her cadres during the PDIP second National Working Meeting.

Megawati emphasized that she was not looking for a leader who only relied on the election. He is looking for a leader who is able to see the challenges ahead.

"The leader I'm looking for is not only electoral-based," said Megawati.

Megawati said that a leader she would choose later was a figure who could see the challenges ahead. Moreover, there will be many global problems in the future, such as a recession to a food crisis.

"As the president said when Mr. Jokowi opened the door, he was most concerned about the challenges ahead, such as global uncertainty, the threat of a world recession, the food crisis and many others," he said.
