JAKARTA - Chairman of the DPP United Development Party (PPP) Achmad Baidowi or Awiek said the schedule for his party congress would be held early.

According to Awiek, the schedule for the congress has been pushed forward so that PPP has time to consolidate preparations for the 2029 General Election.

"PPP held a congress earlier than the schedule to have sufficient time to consolidate against the 2029 election," Awiek said in a statement received in Jakarta, Friday, November 8, which was confiscated by Antara.

He said the 10th PPP congress would be moved forward from the initial plan which was originally scheduled to be held in December 2025.

"It will remain in 2025, but not at the end of the year," he said.

The PPP congress schedule will be determined during the National Working Conference (Mukernas) which will be held between 10-15 December 2024.

"The main agenda for Mukernas is to determine the schedule and time for the implementation of the X congress," he said.

This, he continued, was as agreed upon during the 23rd PPP DPP Daily Management Meeting on Thursday, November 7 evening.

The meeting also agreed on the appointment of Musyafa Nur as Chair of the Steering Committee (SC) Mukernas PPP, and Amri M Ali as Chairman of the Organizing Committee (OC) Mukernas PPP.

Then, Ermalena as Chair of the SC PPP Congress, and Achmad Baidowi as Chair of the OC PPP Congress as well as Chair of the PPP 52nd Harlah Committee.

"The decision was made by deliberation and consensus," said the former Deputy Chairman of the Legislation Body (Baleg) of the DPR RI.

Previously, the PPP Council wrote to the Central Board of Executives (DPP) led by Plt. General Chair Mardiono to immediately hold a congress this year for failing to bring the party bearing the Kaaba to the DPR RI.

Chairman of the Advisory Council of the PPP, Romahurmuziy, said that the letter was delivered directly by the Chairman of the PPP Honorary Council, Zarkasih Nur and Mustofa Aqil Siroj.

"That's right, delivered directly by the two chairmen of the Assembly to Plt. Ketum, namely Kiai Zarkasih Nur (TuaLis Kehormatian) and Kiai Mustofa Aqil (TuaLis Syariah)," said the man who is familiarly called Romy when contacted Tuesday, June 18.
