Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto said the North Sumatra Provincial PDIP DPD had begun to accept the registration of prospective candidates in the 2024 Pilkada. All may register but not with the Mayor of Medan Bobby Nasution who is also the son-in-law of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

"There have been registrations in the regions," said Hasto, starting his statement regarding the 2024 Pilkada at the residence of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri, Jalan Teuku Umar, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Friday night, April 12.

North Sumatra yesterday reported that everyone could register except for Mas Bobby. That's the proposal from below," he continued.

Apart from North Sumatra, the Surakarta City PDIP DPC has also done the same thing. The chairman of the Surakarta City PDIP DPC FX Hadi Rudyatmo, called Hasto, has reported that the current screening process is ready to be carried out.

"But during this registration process, the things that became the biggest criticism for the implementation of the 2024 election which were colored by abuse of power, the use of state apparatus, state sources must first be addressed. Otherwise, there is no point in elections," said Hasto.

As previously reported, Bobby Nasution was present when the General Chairperson of the Golkar Party Airlangga Hartarto gave directions for cadres who will run in the 2024 Pilkada on Saturday, April 6. However, he did not answer about his status in the party bearing the banyan symbol.

Meanwhile, Airlangga said the figures who were present at the briefing were cadres. However, he did not want to talk about Bobby's announcement that he had now changed parties.

"Later on, we will give or decide to become cadres," said Airlangga at the same location.
