JAKARTA - Former TNI Commander General (Ret.) Andika Perkasa admitted that he was ready to run in the Jakarta gubernatorial election if ordered by PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.

This was conveyed by Andika after she was announced as a cadre by Megawati during a political speech when she opened the PDIP V National Working Meeting at the Beach City International Stadium, Ancol, North Jakarta today, Friday, May 24.

"Oh ready, if the order (of the Jakarta gubernatorial election, ed) is ready," Andika told reporters at the location after attending the opening of the National Working Meeting V.

Even so, Andika does not want to make assumptions about the opportunity to run in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. "Yes, we don't know mba, that's an order," he said.

Furthermore, Andika Perkasa said that he had indeed become a party cadre bearing the bull symbol. He officially has a PDIP membership card (KTA), "(since, red) last year," he said.

As previously reported, Megawati Soekarnoputri, who is the General Chair of the PDIP, said that the former TNI Commander General (Ret.) Andika Perkasa officially became a cadre. He said Andika was fascinated by the party bearing the bull symbol.

"Eh, Mr. Andika is in PDIP's secret, you know. Now he is PDIP's KTA," Megawati said in front of her cadres.

Called like this, Andika, who wore a red shirt with a picture of the bull, was seen smiling. The camera highlighted him when Megawati talked about him. Furthermore, Megawati asked Andika to maintain her attitude as a party cadre. "As long as you don't let it go at any time. Let it all sound out," he said with a laugh.

For information, Andika came to the PDIP National Working Meeting area wearing a red shirt. This is the first time he has appeared with party attributes after becoming a retired TNI.

However, Andika's presence at the PDIP event is not the first time this has happened. In addition, he is also included in the ranks of the Ganjar-Mahfud National Winning Team (TPN).

It didn't stop there, Andika Perkasa was also mentioned several times as a potential figure to run in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. He became one of the eight candidates for governor to be prepared.
