BLITAR - The PDIP DPP has not yet assigned the Minister of Social Affairs who is also a PDIP cadre Tri Rismaharini to participate in the 2024 simultaneous regional elections in November.
Secretary General of the PDIP DPP Hasto Kristiyanto said there would be a separate explanation submitted by the East Java PDIP DPD regarding the regional elections including for the 2024 East Java Governor election.
"Regarding the election, the governor will be announced at the right time. Currently, there is still consolidation in all levels of the party. Mrs. Risma, there is indeed a proposal as a candidate for governor," he said in Blitar as reported by ANTARA, Friday, June 21.
Hasto, who was present during a pilgrimage at the grave of Indonesia's first President, Soekarno in Blitar City, added that his party absorbed all the aspirations that developed, including Tri Rismaharini's proposal to fight in the East Java regional election. All names that appear will be caught as well as possible for the progress of East Java in the future.
For now, he said, his party is still concentrating on candidates who are promoted at the district/city level who participate in the 2024 regional elections. Until now, the number of recommendations issued throughout Indonesia has reached 130 recommendations.
The recommendations for the Surabaya City Pilkada were issued to permanent couples, namely the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Surabaya Eri Cahyadi and Armuji. In addition, several regions were also issued, such as Ngawi, Ponorogo, Sumenep, Kediri Regency, to Trenggalek.
Meanwhile, surveys are still being conducted for Batu City. Likewise in Malang Regency, a survey was also carried out. Meanwhile, in Blitar City, an in-depth investigation is still being carried out.
According to him, Blitar has many candidates who are ready to be promoted. However, these candidates must be able to inflame the spirit of Bung Karno's thoughts, not only the people of Indonesia but the world.
"So that young people who have global insight are also looking for young people, so that Blitar can develop a big idea from Bung Karno, including Bung Karno's geopolitical thinking that builds a new world system based on Pancasila," he said.
He is also optimistic that PDIP will get good seats in the regional elections later, especially during the 2024 General Election there will also be an increase in seat acquisition.
"At the district/city level, there is an increase in the acquisition of seats, which means that people's gratitude to PDIP, even though they face various pressures at the district/city level, they actually add seats. Therefore, in the regional elections we prioritize districts/cities while dynamically observing the candidates for governor and deputy governor candidates," he said.
Previously, the name of the Minister of Social Affairs who is also a PDIP cadre Tri Rismaharini was widely rumored to be joining the former Chairman of the East Java PWNU KH Marzuki Mustamar in the 2024 East Java regional election.

According to him, PDI-P actually wants its cadres to become Deputy Governor of East Java, paired with Khofifah Indar Parawansa. However, over time, Khofifah looks more stable to be back in pairs with Emil Dardak in the 2024 East Java regional elections.
The General Elections Commission (KPU) has set a schedule for the 2024 simultaneous regional elections to be held in 37 provinces in Indonesia. The voting activity will take place on November 27, 2024.
