JAKARTA - PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri gave an ultimatum to all her party cadres not to go into politics two feet ahead of the 2024 General Election. Megawati emphasized that she was the only one who determined the presidential candidate from the PDIP. In response to this, political communication observer at Esa Unggul University Jamiluddin Ritonga, assessed that Megawati Soekarnoputri's strong warning against her cadres not to play two feet was very reasonable. Because a general chairman should not tolerate his cadres playing with two legs.
"This kind of cadre is not loyal to the party, so it is not worth keeping in the party," said Jamiluddin in Jakarta, Wednesday, June 22.
According to Jamiluddin, cadres who like two legs are usually very pragmatic and transactional. Cadres like this will easily pawn their party. "So, Megawati's firmness towards her two-legged cadres should be imitated by other party chairmen. The alleged two-legged cadres are not only in PDIP but in other political parties," he said. In Munas, Musda, and Muscab for example, continued Jamiluddin, there are still many cadres who have two legs. This often happens when there are two or more candidates, where some cadres give double support.
"Cadres like this should be expelled from their party. Because of the double support given for pragmatic and transactional considerations," he said.
Jamiluddin assessed that such cadres would also find it difficult to commit to their party. According to him, a person like this will easily pawn his party for personal gain.
"Of course a person like this is very dangerous for his party so it deserves to be destroyed," said Jamiluddin.
He also considered that Megawati's firmness was worthy of being imitated by the general chairman of other political parties. Previously, PDIP Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri warned all party cadres to obey party rules and the mandate of the 2019 PDIP Congress. Megawati delivered this warning at the opening ceremony of the PDIP National Working Meeting (Rakernas) held at the Party School, Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta, Tuesday. , June 21.
The event was attended by a number of PDIP cadres including President Joko Widodo or Jokowi, Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo, and others. "For those of you who maneuver, leave. For what reason? , perform maneuvers," Megawati said. Megawati reminded that she had been given the prerogative to determine the 2024 presidential candidate her party would carry. "Only the general chairman will determine who will be the presidential candidate in PDIP. Let's just leave this open, let everyone know. PDIP follows the party's rules," said Megawati. "It's better if I have rebels, like Komar, Rudi," said Megawati.
