JAKARTA - Former presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo emphasized that his statement about being an opposition to the Prabowo-Gibran government was a personal opinion outside the PDI-P that oversees him.
"Yes, I did state, 'I am Ganjar Pranowo not going to be in the government'. 'That's my personal statement as a presidential candidate," said Ganjar in Jakarta, Wednesday, May 8, as quoted by Antara.
Although he is a party cadre bearing the symbol of a white-nosed bull, Ganjar emphasized that his party's decision to be inside or outside the government as an opposition will be decided in a national working meeting (Rakernas) at the end of May 2024.
"Even though I was carried by the party, yesterday's statement was a statement as a person. If the party will decide at the end of the month (May) meeting," he said.
PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) is scheduled to hold a National Working Meeting on May 24 to 26, 2024. The National Working Meeting will be a momentum for the PDI-P's political direction in the Prabowo-Gibran government.
Until now, the PDI-P has not issued a political stance for a new government, even though Ganjar Pranowo has declared himself an opposition.
The former governor of Central Java admitted that he would continue to be political outside of public office because there are many sectors that can be worked on and related to politics.
"I'm a member of the party, I'm a party cadre. Indeed, all members of political parties must be in political positions, right? When we don't, we can do a lot. We can talk about food, so how can our agriculture progress, our food is independent, we just move directly in the village," explained Ganjar.

"Or maybe we help our friends prepare themselves in public positions. Cadreization, I will definitely help friends who take part in the regional elections, there are too many activities. Almost all of our lives are political, so there is a lot to do," said Ganjar.
