JAKARTA - The names of the Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini and Minister of PAN-RB Abdullah Azwar Annas have been mentioned several times as PDI-P cadres whose party has the potential to be promoted as a candidate for Governor of DKI Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. However, it turns out that there are the names of other PDIP cadres who are included in the selection of the Jakarta cagub exchange. They are the Minister of PUPR Basuki Hadimuljono and former TNI Commander Andika Perkasa. "We are still in the process of screening. We have a lot of potential. Mrs. Risma, for example, (and) Mr. Azwar Anas. Mr. Basuki is also included, as well as Mr. Andika," said Secretary of the DKI Jakarta PDIP Regional Leadership Council (DPD) Deserves Nainggolan to reporters, Thursday, April 25. Like other political parties, Pantas emphasized that PDIP has a certain mechanism in determining the candidate for leader of Jakarta in the future. One of them is loyal to Pancasila. Then, the DKI cagub promoted by PDIP must also be able to meet the expectations of Jakarta residents in carrying out development when they no longer have the status of the capital city. "Although it is no longer the capital city, Jakarta is still a mini-Indonesia that must reflect Indonesianness, which reflects unity, which reflects high tolerance, and so on," said Pantas. As stated by the Chairman of the Central Executive Board (DPP) of PDIP Djarot Saiful Hidayat some time ago, Pantas admitted that his party still opens opportunities for other figures outside of internal cadres, including ordinary citizens. "Yes, it's a screening process. After we net, then filtering is carried out. After screening, certain tests will probably be carried out. Whether it's a psychological test that deals with leadership and so on," he said. However, it is appropriate to admit that PDIP still prioritizes party cadres to be promoted in the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada in Jakarta.

"For the main thing, it is certain that cadres are the priority. But again, what needs to be seen is that electability is also very important, in addition to basic values that need to be known," he added.
