Megawati Considers Matang's PDIP Advice To Join KIM Plus

"Many say, join there. So, what did you get?" said Megawati when she was the mainnote speaker at the launch and book discussion entitled 2024 Presidential Election: Between Law, Ethics, and Psychological Considerations in Jakarta, Thursday, December 12.

Megawati emphasized that the decision to join KIM would not be taken in a hurry. He considered various aspects, including possible compensation in the form of ministerial seats or other strategic positions in the Prabowo-Gibran government.

The 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia even joked, imagining that if PDIP joins, his party will only get one ministerial seat and the position is likely not strategic.

"Nanti ada yang bilang, dia datang belakangan, satu (jatah menteri) saja, tidak bisa dua atau tiga. Sudah begitu dicariin yang paling jelek," kata Megawati sambil berkelakar.

Pernyataan ini menunjukkan sikap kehati-hatian Megawati dalam menentukan langkah politik PDIP pasca-Pilpres 2024, dengan tetap memperhatikan kepentingan strategis partai.

The next PDIP step in the national political constellation will be of concern, considering that the party bearing the symbol of a white-nosed bull still has a big influence on the country's political scene.
