The Secretary General of the PDI-P, Hasto Kristiyanto, reminded his cadres to be solid. No one should claim to be friends anymore, but it turns out to be a traitor.

This was conveyed by Hasto while giving a briefing at the PDIP DPC Consolidation Meeting in Majalengka Regency, West Java, on Saturday, April 27, 2024.

"Some claim to be friends, but instead beat up the party office. That's a traitor, not a friend," said Hasto.

Hasto also said that internal solidity must be maintained as much as possible. Thus, any political effort to divide PDIP cannot occur, especially ahead of the 2024 Pilkada.

"In the 2024 Pilkada there must be an investment interest. There are interests, even people's interests per person, so there will be efforts to disrupt PDIP's solidity," he said.

"Therefore, the key to dealing with the Pilkada is that the first conditions we must be solid," he said again.

In addition, Hasto also reminded party cadres bearing the bull symbol to always be with the people.

"Learning from elections, every cadre must show their true character. You see, the test is not when trying to become a leader, but the real test is that they already hold that power," he said.

Furthermore, Hasto ensured that his party was ready to face the 2024 Pilkada. PDIP has moved forward after its champion, Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD, lost in the 2024 presidential election.

"The party moves on, continues to move forward. The party is preparing strategic steps, including on the agenda, which we will face on November 27, 2024, with simultaneous regional elections," he concluded.
