"I was just summoned by the PDI-P DPP. InSya-Allaah, I have received orders to immediately conduct consolidation, coalition and ordered to walk. I just got home last night," said the man who is familiarly called Danny Pomanto while attending the BEM National Working Meeting at the Makassar Unismuh Campus, South Sulawesi, Tuesday, April 23, which was confiscated by Antara.

Danny said that before his confession, he had conducted an assessment with a number of political parties to participate in the 2024 South Sulawesi Pilkada contestation.

"Almost all of our parties are exploring, well, the name is still being disbursed. So, regarding socialization, we will socialize. The issue of progress will be determined in August," said the Mayor (Walkot) of Makassar for these two periods.

Regarding who his partner will be, Danny admits that he is still dynamic. However, personally, Danny wants as a candidate for governor in the South Sulawesi Pilkada.

"Including the couple. The couple depends on the package, including the coalition. The coalition and the pair are one package, so we should not be careless about the couple because this depends on the coalition," he said.

Regarding the party's decision, he said, it was entirely up to the PDI-P DPP management to decide.
