JAKARTA – Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo was not invited when PDIP DPP Chairman Puan Maharani attended an event in Semarang. In fact Ganjar is the Governor who comes from PDI Perjuangan. The uninvited number one person in Central Java raised a variety of questions.

Responding to the increasingly lively contestations of late, Ganjar Pramomo was relaxed. He even tweeted a speech that is often expressed by the late Wahid when facing a strange pesoalan. "If Wahid's language, so aja kok repot, hehehe," he said in a singering tone during a long-distance interview with VOI, Monday, May 24.

Ganjar realizes the political dynamics happen so well. Therefore he also responded wisely and tried to absorb what happened and what came to pass. "No, for me it's normal, it's a dynamic that evolves," he says in a flat tone.

Is there a tapered rivalry between Puan Maharani and Ganjar Pranowo for the Presidential contest in 2024? It's not easy to answer this question. Because one is the daughter of the Chairman and also the Chairman of the DPP PDIP, while the other is a cadre of PDIP who is still serving as the Governor of Central Java and has a lot of time in cyberspace.

When it comes to political contests, according to Ganjar, there are party mechanisms to go through. "When it comes to the next contest (2024 presidential election) we have a party mechanism and there is our Chairman who has the authority to determine,"he said.

Now as Governor he is still focused on completing the mandate of the party and the mandate of the people. "My job is to clean up the mandate of the party and the mandate of the people to be the Governor of Central Java.  If I borrow the term Mr. Jokowi I have to work until it is finished," he continued.

As reported by VOI earlier, Puan Maharani visited Semarang. The agenda is the briefing of the Chairman of the DPP PDI Perjuangan, at the Office of DPD PDI Perjuangan Central Java, Saturday, May 22. However, Ganjar Pranowo was not invited by the committee at the time. This is what makes the excitement because, in addition to the party cadres, Ganjar is the Governor of Central Java.
