BANGKALAN - Chairman of the General Election Winning Body (Bappilu) of the United Development Party (PPP) Sandiaga Uno targets Madura to become a sound barn.

Sandiaga believes PPP can become the winning party in Madura because the party has a large support base on Garam Island.

"By saying bismillah, we put down the first stone of the Bangkalan PPP DPC. This provided a motivation so that the PPP target in Madura, especially in Bangkalan, could get good results. Because Madura, Bangkalan is a voice barn for PPP," Sandiaga said after laying the first stone for the Bangkalan PPP DPC office, reported by ANTARA, Friday, July 14.

Sandiaga said that specifically in Bangkalan, PPP is targeting the seat of Chairman of the Bangkalan DPRD, aka being the winning party in Bangkalan.

In addition, Sandiaga hopes that the Bangkalan Regent, the results of the upcoming 2024 Pilkada, will be filled again by cadres from the Berlambang Ka'bah Party.

"What was conveyed earlier was that PPP is targeting to become the Chairman of the Bangkalan DPRD and then be able to continue to carry out the mandate of the Bangkalan Regent," he said.

The man who also serves as Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia revealed that many potential PPP cadres are in Madura, especially Bangkalan. One of them is the chairman of the PPP DPP Achmad Baidowi.

"Bakalan has become a PPP voice barn. There are many of our figures here. There is Mas Achmad Baidowi. I hope PPP will solidly pick up the victory," he explained.

The former Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta asked PPP cadres in Madura to represent young people and fight for economic recovery.

"This economic recovery is related to the opening of employment opportunities, as well as maintaining the stabilization of basic prices. PPP must also develop religious tourism," he said.

"Because our great scholar KH Hasyim Asy'ari was the founder of NU, he was a student of Syaikhona Kholil. So this is a religious tourism that we will develop in the future to attract many tourists, so God willing, it will give blessings," he added.

Meanwhile, the Chairperson of the PPP DPP, Achmad Baidowi, stated that PPP is targeting victory in all districts in Madura.

"From the four Madura districts, we are targeting to get the chairman of the DPRD. Currently, only Pamekasan has received the chairman of the DPRD, the rest are the deputy chairman of the DPRD. So the target in each district is at least 10 seats, specifically for Pamekasan, currently 12 seats tomorrow 15 seats," he said.
