JAKARTA - The chairman of the Bappilu PPP DPP, Sandiaga Uno, said he was optimistic about his opportunity to become a vice presidential candidate (cawapres) to accompany Ganjar Pranowo for the 2024 presidential election. However, Sandiaga is also realistic with the dynamic political dynamics. This follows the joining of the Golkar Party and PAN to the Gerindra-PKB coalition axis which supports Prabowo Subianto as a presidential candidate (candidate). " “ If there is an opportunity, we will always be optimistic, but it must be realistic too. And we should not interfere with the communication comfort that has been established,” Sandiaga said at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, August 16. According to Sandiaga, there is still a lot of time to consider and decide who is the best candidate who is worthy to accompany Ganjar. Therefore, the former Gerindra politician admitted to being relaxed. “ Don't feel the biggest, the most powerful, feel the chances are increasing, don't, we'll just slow down. There are still two months, currently PPP is still in an internal meeting, after that we convey it to the coalition, the decision is of course the best for the party,” he said. Even so, Sandiaga handed over this vice presidential matter to the Acting Chairperson of PPP, Muhamad Mardiono, and the Chairperson of PDIP, Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"I am not the leader of political parties, the leaders are Mr. Mardiono and Mrs. Megawati as well as a number of leaders of other political parties," said Sandiaga.
