The NasDem Party responded to the news that the PDIP General Chair would surprise the 2024 General Election during the 50th anniversary of the party at the Jakarta International Expo (JIE) Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday, January 10. It was said that the surprise was the announcement of the presidential candidate (candidate) to be carried by the PDIP in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Deputy General Chairperson (Waketum) of the NasDem Party, Ahmad Ali, assessed that there would be nothing special if Megawati's surprise was only about the possibility of announcing the presidential candidate. This is because Megawati will announce one of the two names of presidential candidates, namely between the Chairman of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Puan Maharani or the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo. "Nothing special, red). If you announce the presidential candidate, the most announced is Ganjar or Puan," said Ali when asked about Megawati's surprise, Monday, January 9. Even so, Ali emphasized that NasDem would respect Megawati's decision regarding the presidential candidate to be promoted by PDIP. NasDem, he said, only focused on winning the people's votes in the upcoming elections. "We are fighting to win the hearts of the people," said Ali. Previously, PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto revealed that his general chairman, Megawati Soekarnoputri, would surprise the 50th Anniversary of the PDIP which will be held on January 10. "Every anniversary we design well, there are elements of surprise that are always displayed," said Hasto after PDIP held a meal with 10,000 residents in the Central Jakarta area, Sunday, January 8. Hasto did not deny that the possibility of the surprise that Megawati brought during the PDIP was about the announcement of the presidential candidate. Megawati, said Hasto, often gave surprises in the big agendas of the PDIP, ranging from commemoration of party birthdays to national work meetings (rakernas). For example, Megawati announced Jokowi as a presidential candidate for the 2019 election during the PDIP National Working Meeting a year before voting. The PDIP cadres, at that time, did not expect that the announcement would be made by President Soekarno's daughter. "Mrs. Mega also often displays various surprises at the anniversary of the party, the National Working Meeting. Even when announcing Mr. Jokowi in the second period, it was beyond expectations that the recording was only via cellphone, social media," explained Hasto. "At that time, (Rakernas III PDIP), suddenly, Mother discussed it because she had the authority to who was the presidential and vice presidential candidate from PDIP," continued Hasto. Hasto revealed that Megawati had received input from various parties about who the figures would advance in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. However, what is clear is that the main agenda of the PDIP in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary at the Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo) next Tuesday is to shed the enthusiasm of the cadres in preparing for political contestation. "What she said was reflected in her daily order. PDIP's anniversary will look deeper, and then inflame the fighting spirit with the people, from the bottom of the true commitment, from all 3 pillars of the PDIP party," he added.
