Chairman of the PDI-P DPP for Honorary Affairs Komarudin Watubun said Anies Baswedan has the opportunity to be promoted in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada if he becomes a PDIP cadre.
The possibility to bring Anies open after the Constitutional Court (MK) changed the pilkada threshold which allowed PDIP to carry its own candidate pair.
"What we hope is that it must become a party cadre," said Komarudin at the PDIP DPP Office, Jakarta, Tuesday, August 20.
"Because we are experienced. What we only cadres can betray, especially those that are not cadred. That's right," he continued.
He also emphasized that basically PDIP will prioritize its own cadres first to be promoted in the regional elections.
The reason is, PDIP has a number of potential cadres, such as former DKI Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama and Djarot Saiful Hidayat.
Then, there are also potential members of the Indonesian Parliament in the Jakarta electoral district, namely Eriko Sotarduga and Masinton Pasaribu.
"We still have cadres, there is Ahok, there is Djarot, there is Eriko, there is Masinton. It's all party cadres. We just have to see who is roughly assigned, the General Chairperson is assigned to be elected by the people of DKI Jakarta," said Komarudin.
In addition, according to him, the authority to decide regional head candidates is in the hands of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.
"The prerogative is speaking. So, you don't have to be afraid. The PDI-P will definitely come in time, the PDI-P will propose a candidate," he said.

Meanwhile, the Chairperson of the PDIP DPP for the Winning of the Executive Election, Deddy Sitorus, said it was possible that his party would announce a candidate for the second wave of regional heads on Saturday, August 24, 2024.
"Probably on the 24th (August)," said Deddy.
He assessed that the possibility of a candidate for regional head of DKI Jakarta was also announced on that date. However, Deddy could not confirm it.
If it is not implemented on the 24th, PDIP will definitely announce it before the closing of the registration of the regional head candidate pair, namely before August 29, 2024.
