Bogor Mayor Rena Da Frina admitted that he was summoned by PDIP Chairman Megawati Soekarno Putri so that he could not attend the mayorial candidate debate in early October.

The debate event was initiated by a campus in Bogor City on Saturday 5 October and at that time Rena represented her presence to Achmad Teddy Risandi.

"You need to understand first, that yesterday's debate was independent. Then it was not mandatory to be present. Actually, there are more urgent interests at the same time. So I was indeed summoned by the PDIP Chairman (Bu Mega) in Batutulis," said Rena, Tuesday, October 15.

Rena could not specify the contents of the special discussion with Megawati at that time. Even so, PDIP chairman Megawati gave her encouragement to run in the 2024 Bogor Pilwalkot.

"There is a special agenda. Yes, we can really get excited," said Rena.

Currently, Rena has resigned as a state civil servant (ASN) for echelon II class and the last position as head of the PUPR service admitted that only PDIP assessed that he was advancing in the Pilwalkot contestation.

According to Rena, at that time only PDIP was able to catch that he deserved to be a regional leader in Bogor City.

"At that time only PDIP was observant about choosing me and the PDIP to capture that potential in me," he said.

"Essentially, when I decided to sail from the bull's cage, I was told that this is a female bull that is ready to lead the city of Bogor and the only female (candidate) Mayor of Bogor in the history of Bogor City," continued Rena.

It is known that the Bogor City KPU determined the number of five candidate pairs (paslon) for the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Bogor in an open plenary meeting in mid-September.

In the plenary meeting, the candidate pair pair and Deputy Mayor of Bogor were determined, among others; serial number 1 of the Sendi Fardiansyah-Melli Darsa pair promoted by the Nasdem, Golkar, and PSI parties.

Then the number 2 of Atang Trisnanto-Anna Alivia pair was promoted by the PKS and Ummat parties. In serial number 3 the Dedie Rachim-Jenal Mutaqin pair promoted by the PAN, Gerindra, Democrat, Gelora, and Perindo parties.

Then in serial number 4 the pair Rena Da Frina-Ahmad Teddy Risandi was promoted by PDIP and Hanura parties. Then in serial number 5 the couple Raendi Rayendra-Eka Maulana was promoted by the PKB, PPP, and Labor parties.
