Megawati Brings A Surprise When The PDIP Anniversary, Announces The Presidential Candidate?
PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto revealed that his general chairman, Megawati Soekarnoputri, will surprise the 50th Anniversary of the PDIP which will be held on January 10."Every anniversary we design well, there are elements of surprise that are always displayed," said Hasto after PDIP held a meal with 10,000 residents in the Central Jakarta area, Sunday, January 8.Then, what surprise Megawati brought during the day was the announcement of the presidential candidate that will be carried by the PDIP in the 2019 election?Hasto did not deny that possibility. Megawati, said Hasto, often gave surprises in the big PDIP agendas, ranging from commemoration of party birthdays to national work meetings (rakernas).For example, Megawati announced Jokowi as a presidential candidate for the 2019 election during the PDIP National Working Meeting a year before voting. The PDIP cadres, at that time, did not expect that the announcement would be made by President Soekarno's daughter."Mrs. Mega also often displays various surprises in the commemoration of the party's anniversary, the National Working Meeting. Even when announcing Mr. Jokowi in the second period, it was beyond expectations that the recording was only via cellphone, social media," explained Hasto."At that time, (Rakernas III PDIP), suddenly, Mother discussed it because she had the authority to who was the presidential and vice presidential candidate from PDIP," continued Hasto.Hasto revealed that Megawati had received input from various parties about who the figures would advance in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.However, what is clear is that the main agenda of the PDIP in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary at the Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo) next Tuesday is to shed the enthusiasm of the cadres in preparing for political contestation."What she said was reflected in her daily order. PDIP's anniversary will look deeper, and then inflame the fighting spirit with the people, from the bottom of the true commitment, from all 3 pillars of the PDIP party," he added.
