JAKARTA - Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP), Hasto Kristiyanto, said that the resignation of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok from the position of President Commissioner of PT Pertamina (Persero) was a form of ethical movements in politics.
In fact, Ahok's decision was considered to follow Mahfud MD's steps, who also resigned his position as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs.
"Right now, there is an ethical movement and political truth spearheaded by Prof Mahfud who resigned because of his responsibility not to use state facilities," said Hasto to reporters in the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) area, Saturday, January 3.

In addition, he considered Ahok's step to resign from his position as a form of totality in supporting candidate pair number 3 in the 2024 contestation.
"So Pak Ahok in the same spirit prioritizes ethics and politics to support Ganjar-Mahfud," he said.
Ahok resigned from the position of President Commissioner of PT Pertamina. He chose to go down the mountain campaigning for Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD in the 2024 presidential election.
"This upload is proof of my resignation letter as the President Commissioner of PT Pertamina (Persero) which I submitted today, February 2, 2024," said the caption for Ahok's upload of the resignation letter via his personal Instagram account, Friday, February 2.
"I hereby declare that I support and will participate in campaigning for presidential candidates Ganjar Pranowo and Mahfud MD. This is so that there is no more confusion regarding my political direction," continued Ahok closing with the word'merdeka' nickname.
