He said, there were eight names in Megawati's pocket and among them were big figures. Many names have appeared. There are almost eight names and many big names already in Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri's pocket, Hasto told reporters at the National Gallery, Central Jakarta, Monday, May 13. Even so, Hasto did not specify the big name in the general chairman's pocket. He only made sure that everything was still dynamic because the selection of potential candidates was still carried out by PDIP. Meanwhile, regarding the name Sri Mulyani, Hasto did not want to talk much. He only said that this figure was not only qualified at the national level but the world. " “ Mrs. Sri Mulyani is at the national and world level. She is the best Minister of Finance and we are very proud," he said.

“ We have divided the tasks, who will communicate with Gerindra, who will communicate with PAN, Golkar, and so on, ” concluded Hasto.
