JAKARTA - Chairman of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) PPP Sandiaga Uno is said to have been included in the 2024 Presidential Ganjar National Winning Team (TPN). Sandiaga became a member of TPN Ganjar after failing to be nominated as a candidate for vice president to accompany Ganjar Pranowo. This was revealed by the Acting Chairperson of PPP Muhammad Mardiono after accompanying Ganjar and Mahfud MD as pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates with the leadership of the coalition of parties. "(Sandiaga) is included (in the TPN Ganjar Presiden). As a council of experts," said Mardiono at the office of the General Election Commission (KPU) RI, Jalan Imam Bonjol, Central Jakarta, Thursday, October 19. Sandiaga is known not to be present to accompany Ganjar and Mahfud to register as presidential and vice-presidential candidates at the KPU office. Mardiono explained that Sandiaga was currently attending a party event. "This (Sandiaga) again has a rapim in Ancol. The schedule is together. But later it will continue," said Mardiono. Previously, the Chairperson of the PPP DPP, Achmad Baidowi, encouraged the Chairman of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) PPP Sandiaga Uno to be included in the President Ganjar National Winning Team (TPN). This was done by PPP after failing to make Sandi a candidate for vice president for Ganjar. The reason is, the coalition supporting Ganjar has appointed Mahfud MD as Ganjar's companion in the 2024 presidential election. "“PPP does propose that Mr. Sandi because he wants to win Mr. Ganjar together, then as Chairman of the National Bappilu PPP, he will include or enter the TPN,” said the man who is familiarly called Awiek at the Media Center TPN Ganjar President, Jakarta, Wednesday, October 18, confiscated by Antara. He emphasized that Sandiaga would remain with PPP to win Ganjar-Mahfud. As for the proposed position for Sandi at TPN, he said it needed to be discussed internally at TPN Ganjar Pranowo. However, he said Sandi had expertise and a mass base that could help win the Ganjar-Mahfud pair.

" “ PPP wishes to propose that he enter the TPN, either as a council of experts, coaches, or whatever his name is because of Pak Sandi's ability in terms of communication and his community, we need to be able to win Mr. Ganjar and Mr. Mahfud MD," said Awiek.
