JAKARTA - The chairman of the Solo City PDI-P (PDIP) DPC FX Hadi Rudyatmo received a stern and final warning from the PDIP DPP Honorary Council. He was declared to have violated party discipline due to statements in support of Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

"Because Mr. Rudy is a senior cadre, of course the sanctions must also be heavier. That's why we impose harsh warnings and finally on brother FX Rudyatmo," said Chairman of the Honorary Council of the PDIP DPP Komarudin Watubun at a press conference at the PDIP DPP Office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, October 26.

With a trembling voice, Komarudin said that FX Rudy was a senior cadre who had fought with him. However, he could not indiscriminately and imposed harsh warning sanctions on his colleague as a form of justice.

"In this position I have to be firm. I'm not indiscriminate, because you are a friend of my struggle, part of the history of the party," he stressed.

As a senior cadre, Rudy should understand that he should not violate the PDIP's IV Congress decision in Bali. Komarudin said that all decisions related to the presidential election would be conveyed by PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri as the mandate holder.

No one of the cadres should violate that decision. Those who are disordered will be sanctioned.

"You were declared to have violated the congressional decision which was decided that everything related to the presidential and vice presidential candidates was the authority of Megawati Soekarnoputri's mother. All cadres were orderly, without exception," said Komarudin.

Furthermore, Komarudin submitted a letter of decision on the imposition of sanctions. When he received the letter, FX Rudy had respect and expressed his readiness to carry out the sanctions.

"Ready," said the former mayor of Solo.

As previously reported, FX Rudy expressed his support for Ganjar if the PDIP cadre was appointed as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election. He was even ready to accept the consequences of his political attitude.

For his statement, the PDIP DPP Honorary Council summoned FX Rudy. The reason is that this party bearing the bull symbol has prohibited all its cadres from providing support for certain names to run in the 2024 presidential election.

Apart from FX Rudy, PDIP also imposed similar sanctions on the Council of Colonels. This team was formed by the PDIP faction in the DPR RI to support the steps taken by the Chairman of the DPR RI, Puan Maharani, in the 2024 presidential election.

There are a number of names of PDIP cadres who were given the last stern warning for forming a Council of Colonels. They include members of Commission III DPR RI Trimedya Panjaitan to members of Commission XI DPR RI Masinton Pasaribu.
