JAKARTA - Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP and Chairman of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, responded to the question of her party cadres who had not been summoned by the elected president Prabowo Subianto as a ministerial candidate. According to him, everything is still possible.

Before chairing the DPR Plenary Meeting, Puan was asked for a response regarding the absence of PDIP cadres who Prabowo called as ministerial candidates for the Gerindra Ketum government.

"Yes, it means not being called, that's all," said Puan at the DPR Building, Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday (15/10/2024).

Even so, Puan stated that her communication with PDIP and Prabowo was fine.

"Very kind, always communicate as well as in our DPR, always maintain communication. We will always build Indonesia together and there are no things that we then differ," explained the first woman to serve as Chair of the DPR RI.

Asked if PDIP had decided to make a position, Puan only replied that her party had the same vision and mission.

"We will both build Indonesia," said Puan.

Puan also confirmed that PDIP Chairman Megawati Soekarnoputri will soon meet Prabowo who will be sworn in as President on October 20.

"Obviously, God willing, we will meet," said Bung Karno's grandson.

Prabowo is known to still call his ministerial candidate today at his residence on Jalan Kertanegara, South Jakarta. When asked again if there was any possibility that PDIP cadres would also be called Prabowo, the former Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture answered that today's time was still quite long.

"Today is still morning, what time is it? At 10 new," said Puan.

"God willing, everything is possible," he continued.

Puan's statement was also conveyed by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, who was walking together to the Plenary Meeting room. Dasco, who is the Daily Chair of Gerindra, stated that the summons for Prabowo's ministerial candidates was not over.

"And the summons has not been completed. Until the 20 am still (there may be a summons for ministerial candidate Prabowo)," said Dasco.
