JAKARTA - General Chairperson of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri insinuated about politics dividedly during a political speech on the commemoration of the 51st Anniversary of the PDIP with the theme Satyameva Jayate, Truth Must Win.

The 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia started the discussion by saying that the Indonesian colonialists used to teach politics divided or divide et impera. This then has a bad impact on society.

"Many colonialists teach us the name Divide et Impera, it divides," said Megawati at the PDIP Party School, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 10.

Then, he reminded that this kind of method would not occur during the 2024 presidential election. Do not let leaders do political divisions.

"Especially if the leader deliberately uses a common sense, it also divides. Why? Because he is in power," he said.

Megawati advised the cadres to stick to the principle of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika Tan Hana Dharma Mangrwa. That is, different but one and no two-faced truth.

He also conveyed this message to the presidential candidate number three, Ganjar Pranowo. "Later, God willing, if there is a win, well, this is heard by many people who must be carried out first, it is a true historical lesson to emphasize. So what? Not only here (pointing your head, ed) but here (pointing your heart, ed)," said Megawati.

He also advised the people to be the owner of the highest sovereignty in the 2024 General Election. This is because he sees that the current tendency of the five-year democratic party is now a tool to perpetuate power.

"The election is not an elite political tool to perpetuate power at all costs. In elections, general elections, there are morals and ethics that must be upheld," said Megawati.

"That power is not lasting, what lasts above, power will stop whatever position it is," he concluded.
