JAKARTA - Acting (Plt.) Chairperson of PPP Muhamad Mardiono is scheduled to walk to the PDIP DPP office which is the location for the PPP leadership meeting and PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri to discuss winning Ganjar Pranowo in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).

Mardiono, along with his party management, walked on foot on Sunday afternoon at around 14.00 WIB from the PPP DPP office, which is located next to the PDIP DPP office on Jalan Diponegoro Number 58, Cikini, Menteng, Jakarta.

"The PPP DPP group headed to the PDI-P DPP (PDIP) office on foot and was greeted by the PDI-P DPP, then (we) headed to the meeting room," said PDI-P DPP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto as quoted from his written broadcast in Jakarta, Sunday.

He conveyed that PDIP had coordinated with PPP to prepare a meeting between Mardiono and Megawati. Hasto has also coordinated directly with PPP Secretary General Arwani Thomafi.

"We have discussed with the Secretary General of PPP, Gus Arwani, and it is certain that the PPP DPP group will come on foot," said Hasto.

He said that after the welcoming ceremony, the meeting of the two parties was continued by singing the PDIP mars and PPP mars.

"Then, the meeting between Mr. Mardiono accompanied by the PPP line with Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri and several representatives of the PDI-P DPP," said the PDIP Secretary General.

He believes the meeting between Mardiono and Megawati was warm, because the two parties have a long historical track record in cooperation.

Unified by a historical experience that is not much different since 1973, the two party chairmen will give remarks and exchange ideas in the context of winning the 2024 presidential election. The meeting ends with a group photo," said Hasto Kristiyanto.

Mardiono and Megawati's meeting at the PDIP DPP office was the first time after two parties announced Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate for the 2024 presidential election.
