JAKARTA - PAN respects Ganjar Pranowo's attitude in declaring himself not to join the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka Government. PAN assessed that Ganjar's opposition attitude was to maintain his vision and mission in the last presidential election competition. "Maybe it was Pak Ganjar's consistent attitude, whose contestation time yesterday was a lot out of line or his vision and mission was a bit different from Pak Prabowo. And he remained there, I think it's good," said Deputy PAN Yandri Susanto to reporters, Tuesday, May 7. The deputy chairman of the MPR also invited Ganjar who wanted to oversee the government. However Yandri reminded that the majority of Indonesian people had chosen the vision and mission echoed by Prabowo and Gibran.

"The people chose Pak Prabowo's vision and mission as evidenced in the ballot booth. At that time, the majority of them chose Pak Prabowo, so Mr. Prabowo's vision and mission was what the people wanted," he said. "It's just Mr. Ganjar as the opposition or outside the government to exercise control or as an opinion or recommendation that is needed for the upcoming government," added Yandri.

Sebelumnya, Ganjar Pranowo mendeklarasikan tidak akan bergabung di pemerintahan Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka. Ganjar menegaskan dirinya akan melakukan kontrol terhadap pemerintahan.

"I am declare, first, I will not join this government, but I have great respect for this government, and we will control it in the right way," said Ganjar during the Halal Bihalal TPN event, on Jalan Teuku Umar, Central Jakarta, Monday, May 6.

Ganjar said being inside or outside the government was all honorable. The PDIP politician also asked not to sneer at each other about it.

"So that there is political morality, the right way of politics must be advanced, and all are equally honorable, there is no need to sneer at each other," he said.
