Plt Chairman of PPP Muhamad Mardiono denied that his party was in the wrong direction by supporting Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate (candidate).
According to him, this assumption was wrong because the assessment was obtained after PPP failed to qualify for Parliament. Meanwhile, at that time, when declaring Ganjar as a PPP presidential candidate, he was considered to have taken the right steps.
"Maybe the observer said the wrong direction when we didn't succeed, but when we declared Mr. Ganjar, many praised PPP. PPP chose the right steps," Mardiono said in the ROSI program, Thursday, April 18, evening.
Mardiono said PPP took steps to move quickly by declaring Ganjar as a presidential candidate in the 2024 election because Ganjar's electability in various surveys was already high.

"We have conducted a survey from below, that Pak Ganjar's survey is indeed high," he said.
It is known, based on data from the General Elections Commission (KPU), PPP only received 5,878,777 or 3.873 percent votes in the 2024 general election. PPP claims that the party's votes lost as many as 200,000 votes so that it did not meet the 4 percent threshold.
