JAKARTA - The uninvited governor of Central Java Ganjar Pranowo at the Opening ceremony of the Marhaen Essay Photo Exhibition and Photos of Heritage Buildings at panti Marhaen in Semarang, Saturday, May 22, became a big question for the audience.

The event was also attended by the Chairman of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), Puan Maharani.

Whereas in addition to being the governor, Ganjar Pranowo is still a cadre and regional head carried by pdip. Of course, as the host, Ganjar should be present at the event with Puan and PDIP in Semarang, Central Java.

"What is it? This proves there are internal problems in PDIP," Al Azhar University Indonesia political observer Andriadi Achmad told VOI on Monday, May 24.

As is known, Ganjar Pranowo has always appeared on social media lately and has a high electability as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election in various survey results.

"Ganjar Pranowo's position is actually dilemma, although the electability is quite high as a capres 2024. Of course who will be proposed as Capres 2024 is in the hands of Megawati as Chairman of PDIP," said Andriadi.

Executive Director of Nusantara Institute PolCom SRC said, it has been since a long time, Puan Maharani often appeared as a capres or cawapres PDIP in the 2024 presidential election. So far, Prabowo-Puan's duet has been quite popular in the mass media.

"Therefore, the presence of Ganjar Pranowo who is considered to be actively building popularity and electability can cover the position of Puan Maharani as Capres 2024," explained Andriadi.

Nevertheless, according to him, politics is still very dynamic where there could be surprising changes. If Ganjar Pranowo is not proposed by the PDIP as a capres 2024, it does not close the possibility of being carried out by other parliaments as long as the electability is skyrocketing.

"I see the rivalry between Puan Maharani and Ganjar Pranowo is common and often happens before the presidential election. Only later will the political calculations of PDIP only, to determine the potential capres that will replace Jokowi in 2024," he said.

Andriadi admitted, Puan must be a priority of PDIP Chairman Megawati Soekarnoputri to be made a capres or cawapres in 2024. In fact, all PDIP cadres throughout Indonesia must comply with what is the decision of the ketum.

Including Ganjar Pranowo, he must legowo if he does not get Megawati's blessing as Capres 2024.

"Actually Puan has been prepared in advance. In the party as Chairman of the DPP, in the executive has served the Position of Minister of Foreign Affairs period 2014-2019, and currently in the legislature as Chairman of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia period 2019-2024. Stay again waiting for the position as chairman of the PDIP and president or vice president of the Republic of Indonesia," said Andriadi Achmad.
