JAKARTA - Secretary-General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto revealed that the party bearing the bull symbol has prepared three cadres who are ministers of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet President Joko Widodo-Vice President Ma'ruf Amin to compete in the 2024 Jakarta Governor and Deputy Governor Election (Pilgub).

Hasto stated that the three names were already on the list of candidates for the metropolitan provincial leader. PDIP, as a political party, is ready to garner support and provide opportunities as part of a systemic regeneration process.

"We have carried out a regeneration process, and from the start we have trained PDIP cadres to be prepared as candidates for regional heads," said Hasto in his statement, Monday, July 1.

The three names are Cabinet Secretary Minister Pramono Anung, Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (Minister of PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono, and Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (Minister of PANRB) Abdullah Azwar Anas.

According to Hasto, PDIP needs to present the names of internal cadres in the election contest to ensure the existence of parties in political dynamics in Indonesia. In addition, the concept of developing the universe planning towards Greater Indonesia carried by PDIP can be realized if the regional head or deputy regional head is filled by PDIP cadres.

"Even so, we are also collaborating with other political parties taking into account local political characteristics," he added.

In addition to the three ministers, Hasto also mentioned other PDIP cadres who were prepared for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. The names are former TNI Commander Andika Perkasa and PDIP DPP chairman who is also a member of the DPR Eriko Sotarduga.

Hasto emphasized that PDIP has many cadres who are ready to be promoted as candidates. In addition, PDIP is also open to communicating with all political parties related to the 2024 Pilkada.
