JAKARTA - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo confirmed he would follow directions from PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri. Including if he is not carried in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).
He conveyed this in response to the possibility that he would not be nominated in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. As a cadre, continued Ganjar, he will be upright with all party decisions.
"Everything is straight to the decision," Ganjar told reporters at the PDIP Party School, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta, Friday, June 17.
Ganjar said Megawati as the party's general chairman had the prerogative to nominate certain names.
"That has been the decision of the congress (the V PDIP congress, ed). That is the full prerogative of the chairwoman," he said.
The former DPR member also spoke again regarding the proposal from the NasDem Party DPW at the national coordination meeting (rakornas).
According to him, even though his name will be decided later as a presidential candidate that will be carried by the NasDem Party, he will still move on the party's decision.
"I am a member of the PDIP, of course, the decision is perpendicular to the general chairwoman. That has become the formula for all party members," said Ganjar.
He also doesn't want to make further assumptions about his steps towards the 2024 presidential election. The reason is that, as regional head, Ganjar was asked to focus on completing his work.
"It's too early because it's still long, so we're preparing to help with the election stage. We're still asked to prepare for SMEs, about food companion for rice," he said.
"It's better if I do my job as governor first," said Ganjar.
