JAKARTA - Chairperson of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri spoke about the presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres). Megawati asked party officials/cadres to be patient.

This was conveyed by Megawati in a speech at the closing of the PDIP II National Working Meeting (Rakernas) at the PDIP DPP Party School, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta, Thursday, June 23. This activity was attended by PDIP DPP officials and regional heads, including the Governor of Central Java Ganjar Pranowo.

"There have been many questions about when to declare presidential and vice presidential candidates, so be patient," said Megawati.

Megawati emphasized that the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres) is still far away. So, it's only natural that he still hides who the champion of his party is.

"People still have two years. Yes, I can, I'll continue to hide it," he said to the applause of his cadres who were present.

Megawati said it was easy for her to find a presidential figure. "But what I often reflect on is looking for a leader," said the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia.

As previously reported, PDIP has formulated recommendations for the results of the second National Work Meeting and read them out by a number of regional heads, including the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo. One of the recommendations he read was related to the determination of the pair of presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu).

"The Party's Second National Working Meeting confirms that the determination of the presidential and vice presidential candidate pairs that will be carried by the PDI-P in the 2024 Election based on the decision of the Party's V Congress, the Party's Articles of Association, and democratic traditions is the prerogative of the General Chairperson of the Megawati Soekarnoputri Party," said Ganjar when reading out party recommendations at the PDIP DPP Party School, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta, Thursday, June 23.

When Ganjar read out this recommendation, a number of cadres who were present in the PDIP DPP Party School Hall shouted the word 'Freedom'. The atmosphere was boisterous for a moment while Ganjar on the podium continued his reading.
