Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto said that Puan Maharani, who is the Chair of the PDIP DPP, will be encouraged to resume her duties as Chair of the DPR RI for the 2024-2024 period. One of the considerations is because she is able to carry out her duties in the 2019-2024 period.

"Mbak Puan is able to show leadership," Hasto told reporters quoted Monday, April 8.

In addition, Hasto assessed that he had many qualified experiences with the youngest child of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri. Starting from internal parties to experience as Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture.

"Also five years as Chair of the DPR RI. So that based on the process carried out, Mbak Puan is the next chairman of the DPR in accordance with the direction of the General Chair, Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri," he said.

Hasto also said that this step was taken because PDIP managed to win the 2024 Legislative Election (Pileg). "In the midst of various election manipulations, we are very grateful," he said.

"That winning three consecutive times for PDIP can be realized because of the people's expectations. In fact, at the district/city level we can increase the number of seats in the province. The total leadership of the DPRD and vice chairman has cumulatively increased," continued Hasto.
