JAKARTA - The chairman of the PDI-P National Election Winning Team (PDIP) Adian Napitupulu said his party would not rush to nominate regional head candidates in the 2024 Pilkada, including in Central Java Province. This was conveyed by Adian in response to the Gerindra Party's attitude in carrying Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi as a candidate for governor in Central Java. Initially, he said that the party bearing the bull symbol certainly respects the decision that had been made. Good, it's okay. Whoever is nominated by any party will not make us have to be rushed, no," said Adian as quoted from his written statement, Tuesday, July 23. Instead of being in a hurry, Adian said that his party chose to put forward careful considerations. Because, a regional head has a heavy responsibility when he gets the mandate. We realize that a regional head will be responsible for the entire budget entrusted by the people to him. Responsible for the entire policy issued, responsible for the future of generations in the region how then the health of the mother and child and so on," said the PDIP Deputy Secretary General., "So to make a decision on who is the regional head, we must consider much more mature. More in examining the track record, taking part and so on," continued Adian.

Furthermore, Adian emphasized that his party was also not worried about the possibility of abuse of power. He said, PDIP has been trained to fight. "We are more afraid that the poor, we are more afraid that the people suffer. We are more afraid if the people choose the wrong leader. We never hesitate and are afraid of fighting, no matter how harsh as long as the truth is on our side," he concluded.
