PEKALONGAN - Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP Puan Maharani believes Central Java will again become a vote barn for party victory in the election. As a banteng' home, Central Java is believed to be able to make PDIP win in the 2024 Legislative and Presidential Elections.

This was conveyed by Puan while leading the consolidation at the PDIP DPC office in Pekalongan City, Tuesday, July 25. Puan's arrival to Batik City was also greeted by hundreds of cadres waiting for her on the edges of the highway.

"I am very happy to receive a happy welcome here. Earlier I saw it being greeted on the highway using a motorbike parade. This is great Pekalongan," said Puan in her speech.

"The PDI-P must be like this, enthusiastic, not weak. Especially before the election," added the first woman to serve as Chair of the DPR RI.

Puan then mentioned Central Java, which has always been the biggest contributor to votes in every legislative and presidential election. He believes Central Java will again contribute greatly to PDIP's victory in the election.

"Indeed, apart from East Java and West Java, Central Java will determine the victory of the PDI-P and the PDI-P presidential candidates. We will prove that in 2024 Central Java will be the voters in the legislative and presidential elections," said Puan.

In front of PDIP's 'tables', Puan emphasized Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) commitment as a party cadre in the 2024 General Election. Puan asked not to be influenced by various negative information circulating.

"Mr. Jokowi, our president, PDIP cadres, will definitely be with us. God willing, we will win later. That's why we don't want to be divided, we have to be united, solid," he said.

Puan revealed that she continued to tour the area to see the conditions in the field. Before going to Pekalongan City, he also visited Kudus to lead internal consolidation. Like in Pekalongan, the enthusiasm of PDIP cadres and the structural structure of Kudus Regency was very high.

"If someone declares, they don't want to be in a row, they don't want to be united, they don't want to join together to win, move aside," said Puan.

He added that PDIP Chairman Megawati Soekarnoputri had issued an order for all party cadres to work to win Ganjar Pranowo, who is the presidential candidate of the PDIP. Puan said that currently PDIP continues to consolidate and communicate with other parties in the context of exploring the coalition.

Puan also instructed during the campaign, so that all legislative candidates put up pictures of legislative candidates and pairs of presidential and vice-presidential candidates promoted by PDIP.

"When we move, later. Now we are still consolidating, making friends, who wants to work together with us," said the former Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture.

According to Puan, efforts to realize the PDIP's hat trick victory are a challenge. Because no party has won 3 consecutive elections during the reform era. It's not impossible as long as all PDIP cadres work hard.

"So I ask all cadres to come down to meet with the people and promote that PDIP is the best choice for Indonesia. We all have to unite so that PDIP can become the winner in the election for the third time," said Puan.

To the structure of the Pekalongan PDIP DPC, Puan reminded them to really pay attention to the stages of the general election in the future to the Permanent Candidate List (DCT).

"Don't forget, remember the date from the registration process, verification, to DCT candidates. This must all be considered," he said.
