Imitating Jokowi, KIB Chooses To Register With KPU Wednesday Pon
JAKARTA - Three political parties that are members of the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB), namely the Golkar Party, PAN and PPP have registered as candidates for the 2024 General Election to the KPU.
In today's registration, the chairman of Golkar, Airlangga Hartarto, the chairman of PAN, Zulkifli Hasan, and the chairman of the PPP, Suharso Monoarfa, were present together at 10.10 WIB.
Airlangga revealed, Golkar, PAN and PPP deliberately registered on the 10th day of registration because it coincided with the same day the 2024 General Election was held, namely Wednesday. Today's Wednesday also coincides with Pon's Wednesday, which President Joko Widodo has chosen to hold an important event.
Wednesday Pon is a day with President Jokowi's favorite weton. Even at every event or reshuffle, Jokowi chose Wednesday. Wednesday Pon is also Jokowi's birth weton.
"Today, the three of us deliberately registered together, the date is Wednesday the 10th. Because every general election falls on Wednesday, and on the second day, if the weton is on, please look for it yourself," said Airlangga to reporters, Wednesday, August 10.
According to him, Wednesday is a good day because it is the same as the KPU's choice to hold the 2024 Simultaneous Election.
"Well, the day is the 10th, the election will be on Wednesday, February 14. So we start with the good things," said Airlangga.
Airlangga said that today's registration began with a series of events that were jointly arranged by Golkar, PAN, and PPP. Because he said, KIB prioritizes togetherness.
"Secondly, Indonesia is big. Therefore, we cannot work alone, we must be able to work together, and we must inclusively organize this country. Of course, in the 2024 period we need more thoughts so that we are safe as a developed country," he explained.
