PDIP Reveals There Is A Special Team To Find Vice President Ganjar Pranowo In The 2024 Presidential Election

PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) continues to look for vice presidential candidates (cawapres) to accompany Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo in the 2024 presidential election. PDIP formed a team led directly by Ketum Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"Regarding the vice president, there is a special team led directly by the General Chair," PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto told reporters at the DPP Party School, Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta, Wednesday, June 7.

Hasto also said that Megawati communicated periodically with President Jokowi regarding the results of the team's work. PDIP DPP chairman Puan Maharani and Prananda Prabowo are said to have joined in looking for Ganjar's companion.

Apart from Jokowi, Megawati also communicated with the general chairman of other parties who provided support. "There will be communication later," he said.

Previously reported, PDIP DPP Chair Puan Maharani mentioned a number of candidates for vice president (cawapres) paired with Ganjar Pranowo. There are 10 names, including Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD to West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil.

This statement was made in response to speculation over the name of the vice presidential candidate Ganjar. Puan said, there are many names to consider.

In addition, the most recent is the Minister of PUPR Basuki Hadimuljono. His name emerged as Ganjar's vice presidential candidate because of his ability to work.

This name proposal was brought by PDIP cadres from regions who felt infrastructure development. They consider Basuki's work to be progressing.
