Deputy Chairperson of the PPP DPP Arsul Sani revealed that his party had informed the PDI-P (PDIP) about the intention to nominate Ganjar Pranowo to become a presidential candidate in 2024.
However, Arsul acknowledged that the communication built by PDIP through the Secretary General of PDIP Hasto Kristiyanto was informal. "There must be something (communication wants Ganjar to be a presidential candidate). Yesterday when in Muhammadiyah before the congress, Mas Hasto and I also appeared together at the discussion forum Muhammadiyah," said Arsul, Friday, November 25.
Arsul added that the communication made by PPP to PDIP regarding Ganjar's candidacy was still not serious. Because, he said, PPP is still focusing on communication with Golkar and PAN who are members of the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB). "But there is no communication (with PDIP)," said the Deputy Chairperson of the MPR.
Arsul said that until now the central leadership of PPP is still hearing the aspirations of regional cadres regarding the proposed name of the presidential candidate. According to him, although the majority want Ganjar Pranowo, there are still various names of national figures that appear. "The majority of DPWs currently mention Pak Ganjar's name. Some are single (proposed), some are along with other (names)," said Arsul.
Previously, the Acting Chairperson of the PPP DPP Muhammad Mardiono, said that there were 14 PPP regional administrators who proposed the Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate (candidate) from PPP.
"If I'm not mistaken, there are 14 regions that have voiced to propose to the DPP that in order to nominate Pak Ganjar, that is a regional request," said Mardiono at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Wednesday, November 23.
Mardiono said the proposed name of the presidential candidate from the regional board would be discussed at the DPP level. After that, PPP will discuss it with the party that is part of the KIB.
