"The plan is on October 8th. As usual, this is just continuing what Pak Airlangga and Golkar have been doing so far," said Doli to reporters, Monday, October 3. Originally, Puan and Airlangga met on September 3. However, it was delayed because the Coordinating Minister for the Economy had to accompany President Jokowi in Lampung. The chairman of Commission II of the DPR then said that the meeting between Airlangga and Puan was a national gathering. "Moreover, the plan to meet Mrs. Puan has been delayed for a long time, it has been delayed twice, so continuing what has been planned and for sure the main thing is to discuss today's national situation," explained Doli. Of course, continued Doli, today's national situation cannot be separated from the preparations for the election. Therefore, he ensured that the two of them also discussed the 2024 presidential election. "We both know that from now on people have talked about the preparations for the 2024 General Election. This means that if we talk about the national situation, today it is undeniable that there will definitely be talk about the 2024 General Election, one of which is talking about the presidential election," he said. However, Doli admitted that he did not know the special agenda and the time of the meeting. According to him, this is an agreement between Airlangga and Puan. "That's what will be agreed between Mr. Airlangga and Mrs. Puan where is the place. Then what will the event be like. It's a conversation between Mr. Airlangga and Mrs. Puan," said Doli. Previously, news of the meeting between Puan and Airlangga had been confirmed by the Chairman of the Bappilu PDIP DPP Bambang Wuryanto or Bambang Pacul. However, Pacul did not want to reveal when Puan would meet Airlangga. "With Golkar, we will inform you later," said Bambang Pacul at the DPR Building, Friday, September 30. According to him, the matter of meeting Puan with Golkar will be informed further so that there is an element of surprise. He also admitted that he did not want to precede the DPP if he informed the meeting time early. "That's my name ahead, it's not allowed, you know. But as long as there's always something to note, that's his name in that language, right, the element of supply must be something you don't expect, right," said Pacul. Moreover, he said, legislators are currently focusing on preparing for The G20 Parliamentary Speakers' Summit (P20) Meeting which will be held on October 5-7, next week. "There will be a P20 parliament here, so of course parliament is all busy in the context of P20," he explained.
