JAKARTA - Head of the Honorary Division of the DPP PDIP, Komarudin Watubun, opened his voice regarding the voice recording of the Chairman of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) Bambang Wuryanto alias Bambang Pacul regarding the 2024 presidential election.

In the recording, Bambang said that the chairman of the DPP who is also the chairman of the DPR, Puan Maharani, was the most realistic in the position of vice president. Bambang said whoever the presidential candidate was, Puan was the vice presidential candidate.

According to him, what Bambang Pacul said was a personal opinion and did not represent the position of PDIP.

"Bambang's statement is not a party statement. There must be a distinction between statements made by PDIP officials as individuals and as parties," said Komarudin, Wednesday, June 9.

PDIP, he continued, has not yet made any decisions regarding the 2024 presidential election. Because the question of who the bull party will carry is the prerogative of the general chairman, Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"The general chairman has prerogatives regardless of other matters. That is a special authority, the troops are ready to secure," said Komarudin.

Nevertheless, he welcomes a number of cadres who want to carry out political maneuvers for the 2024 presidential election.

Previously, a voice recording of the DPP Chairman of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) for Election Winning, Bambang Wuryanto about the scenario for the 2024 Presidential Election, circulated on social media.

In this three-minute recording, Bambang Pacul, as he is affectionately known, can be heard talking about wanting the Chairperson of the PDIP DPP Puan Maharani to become a vice presidential candidate, regardless of who the PDIP candidate will be for president.

"The formula is, Puan Maharani has a bottle of sosro tea. Whatever the food, drink it with a bottle of sosro tea. Yes, tho? Whoever the presidential candidate is, the deputy is PM (Puan Maharani)," said Bambang Pacul.
