Hanura And PPP Support Ganjar Pranowo, PDIP Sentil PSI Regarding Political Ethics

Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto poked fun at the political ethics of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI). The party is considered not to have carried out political communication before supporting Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate (candidate) in the 2024 presidential election.

"The name provides support (must, ed) carry out political communication," Hasto told reporters at the PDIP DPP Office, Jalan Diponegoro, Central Jakarta, Thursday, April 27.

Hasto gave an example of the Hanura Party, which has now become a supporter of Ganjar in the 2024 presidential election. Before the General Chairperson of the Hanura Party, Oesman Sapta Odang, announced support, said Hasto, political communication had been carried out.

Likewise, the United Development Party (PPP) supports Ganjar. "Mr. OSO from Hanura and PPP are intensely communicating with PDIP," he said.

PDIP considers this communication important because it leads to cooperation. "It's not suddenly a decision," said Hasto.

"So there is political ethics that must be put forward," he continued.

Previously, PSI since October 2022 supported Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election. Support was chosen based on the results of the People's Rembuk forum which was held in February 2022.

"From the results of the People's Rembuk, we announced that the Indonesian Solidarity Party will nominate Pak Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate for PSI in 2024," said PSI Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees Grace Natalie at that time.

"Mr. Ganjar or familiarly we call Mas Ganjar superior to other candidates," he continued.

The candidates appearing in the forum are Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD, Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian, Minister of SOEs Erick Thohir, to Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani.

Not only that, support was also given because PSI considered its party's vision and mission to be in line with Ganjar Pranowo's movement. "In addition, PSI also sees Mas Ganjar as the most appropriate person to continue the work that has been done by Pak Jokowi in advancing Indonesia," said Grace.
