Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto explained a number of changes in plans to occur in the field when the presidential candidate (candidate) and vice presidential candidate (cawapres) Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD register with the General Elections Commission (KPU).

One of them, Ganjar-Mahfud, who finally canceled his Cadillac Fleetwood 75 Limousine, which is the official car of the First President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno or Bung Karno. Hasto said this was because the candidate who registered before Ganjar-Mahfud was late from the original schedule.

"The event was because we adjusted it to another couple who registered first, which should have been at 08.00 am right but then delayed for a few hours," said Hasto to reporters at the residence of the PDIP General Chair, Jalan Teuku Umar, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Thursday, October 19.

It is known that the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin pair, abbreviated as AMIN, also registered this morning. However, they only arrived at the KPU building at 09.30 WIB or after 1.5 hours from the initial schedule.

Returning to Hasto, the Ganjar-Mahfud candidate pair finally got into a modified pickup truck on the grounds of speeding up their movement. Moreover, they should have registered with the KPU at 11.00 WIB.

"Then there are changes in the field," he said.

"Even though it was canceled by the historic Ganjar-Mahfud candidate car, it was not discouraged," said Hasto.

Moreover, in the Proclamation Monument there is an image of a lightning flash. Thus, Hasto reminded that this spirit must be brought, especially since Indonesia's independence is able to shake the world.

"Spirit so that the Indonesian people get independence who is truly independent of Bung Karno, Bung Hatta (Indonesian Vice President Moh. Hatta), and the nation's heroes are what is taken, not on the symbol of their car," said Hasto.

Previously reported, Ganjar-Mahfud will board the classic Cadillac Fleetwood 75 Limsin which is the official car of the First President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno or Bung Karno. From observations in the field, this black-streamed car had left the Proclamation Monument from the west gate before delivering Ganjar and Mahfud to be prepared. It can be seen that the four-wheeled vehicle has plate number B 2846 STQ.

However, when leaving for the KPU, it turned out that the car was not used. Ganjar-Mahfud together with the Presidential Ganjar National Winning Team (TPN GP) actually rode a modified tub car such as a Javanese traditional joglo house and affixed with a Ganjar Mahfud 2024 billboard.
