anyone interested in becoming mayor or deputy mayor of Solo can register with the PDIP DPC secretariat. This means that PDIP cadres may also be from people outside the PDIP or from other parties or from community leaders," he explained.

"PDIP is an open party, in fact we are also confident and have internal cadres that can be nominated, but we also have to give opportunities to the general public through this screening," he said.
