JAKARTA - Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto revealed that political communication with the Democratic Party was getting more intense. However, he did not want to talk about the possibility of the party created by Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono joining Ganjar Pranowo in the 2024 presidential election. This was conveyed by Hasto in response to the issue of joining the Democratic Party after leaving the Amendment Coalition for Unity (KPP) which supports former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan. He said, there were a number of meetings that took place. "Political communication has been carried out since the third national working meeting," Hasto told reporters in the Senen area, Central Jakarta, Saturday, September 9. Hasto revealed that some time ago there was a meeting between the Chairman of the PDIP DPP Puan Maharani and the General Chairperson of the Democratic Party Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY). Next, there was a meeting between himself and the Secretary-General of the Democratic Party Teuku Riefky. The Deputy Secretary General of PDIP Utut Adianto, PDIP Election Winning Body (Bappilu) PDIP Bambang Wuryanto, and PDIP Chairman Said Abdullah also held a meeting with the Democratic Party, said Hasto. Then, a number of political parties supporting Ganjar will also do the same thing. The parties supporting Ganjar besides PDIP in the 2024 Presidential Election will be the United Development Party (PPP), the Hanura Party, and the Perindo Party. We heard that several political parties carrying Pak Ganjar will also hold meetings with the Democratic Party. This is a good thing. Political communication builds understanding, 'he said.' But we also emphasize that if working with the political party that supports Pak Ganjar Pranowo, then it really must put forward the interests of the nation and state so that the same work will be strong, 'continued,', continued Hasto. Previously, Chairman of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) Democrat Party Andief said that there were two parties supporting Ganjar next door to his party office. This statement was then considered a code.

"The PDIP office and PPP are close, that's the code. How come the office is close," said Chairman of the Democratic Party Election Winning Body (Bappilu) Andi Arief to reporters, Wednesday, September 6. Even so, Andi said the Democratic Party was still building communication with other parties, such as Gerindra. However, the matter of progress is more aimed at PDIP or Gerindra who supports Prabowo Subianto, Andi is reluctant to reveal.
