Presidential candidate (candidate) number 3, Ganjar Pranowo celebrates the 77th birthday (ultah) of PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri together with volunteers in Salatiga City, Central Java (Central Java), Tuesday, January 23.

According to him, the volunteers and the event committee have prepared three cones to be presented to Megawati.

"The local committee prepared three cones that were presented to Mrs. Mega and we pray for her to live a long and healthy life," said Ganjar after meeting with the Central Java TPD, Salatiga TPC, and volunteers at the Korpri Sidomulti Building, Salatiga City.

Before leaving for Salatiga, Ganjar Pranowo had also wished Megawati a happy birthday through her Instagram account.

Previously, PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto revealed that the 5th anniversary of the President of the Republic of Indonesia was celebrated simply by being attended by only those closest to him.

"As in previous years, Megawati's birthday was held in a simple manner and was attended by her family and close friends," said Hasto in his statement in Jakarta, Tuesday.

He said all PDIP cadres in various regions also celebrated Megawati's birthday with cultural activities. His colleagues will also distribute cones to the community to plant trees.

Not only that, Hasto said the cadres also sent many birthday videos to Megawati through him. The various video words will be broadcast on the YouTube channel of the Party Culture Agency.

Hasto also reminded Megawati's role in maintaining Indonesian democracy and mentioned the issue of extending her three-term term which was echoed by close people of President Joko Widodo.

Hasto emphasized that Megawati dared to refuse the request for an extension of her term despite the consequences for the 2024 election.

He wants Megawati's character in maintaining the constitutional mandate to be used as an example.

"By embedding his struggle, various intimidation that is currently happening, it becomes a fertilizer of enthusiasm to be stronger in realizing people's sovereignty as the highest law in determining leaders," said Hasto.
