JAKARTA - The PDI-P (PDIP) has registered with the General Election Commission (KPU) as a participant in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) today, Monday, August 1. The registered PDIP members are 477,777 cadres.

The chairman of the DPP PDIP Bambang Wuryanto or Bambang Pacul said there was a special philosophy of this figure. This was conveyed after submitting the file to the KPU.

"We are one of the unique ones from us. We have prepared 477,777 registered members," Bambang told reporters at the KPU Building, Jalan Imam Bonjol, Central Jakarta, Monday, August 1.

Bambang then explained the philosophy of 477,777. "These four are descriptions of the seats that we won for electoral power, 77 of them are the birthdays of our republic. Then the third seven are because we are Javanese," he said.

"The third seven, because some of us are Javanese, that is hoping to receive pitu, pitulungan. Good speech is to make the election better and we hope that it will certainly calm the hat trick as ordered by the general chairman," continued Bambang.

Bambang said that the PDIP was well received by the KPU. All requirements and procedures determined by the KPU are ensured to have been fulfilled.

Later, the PDIP will be notified by the KPU if it has passed the administrative process.

"The registration went well, we were received by the chairman of the KPU along with all members of the commissioners, staff from the KPU, then we submitted the files as a ceremony that we had to go through, the procedures we had to go through, thus it has been well received and the KPU will then be verified," " he explained.

"Yes, we are complete, of course the KPU will carry out verification, but from us, everything is 100 percent complete," he said.

Furthermore, Bambang is optimistic about his party's chances in the upcoming 2024 election. However, this optimism must be followed by the role of PDIP cadres in carrying out orders from Megawati Soekarnoputri as general chairman.

"Of course we can't stand alone, but Hatrick's hope is our commitment from all levels of the party because that's the general chairman's order and of course we explain it as well as possible and this must be understood, in elections there is no vacuum. Everyone will move to win in one the goal is number four," concluded Bambang.
