JAKARTA - Chairperson of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri said that as the holder of prerogatives, she had a tough task. He has the responsibility to set the party's steps forward.
This was conveyed by Megawati at the closing of the second PDIP National Working Meeting at the PDIP DPP Party School, Thursday, June 23. She said this prerogative is not only to determine who the presidential and vice-presidential candidates are promoted by his party, but also other strategic steps.
"Actually, the prerogative is not only to choose the presidential and vice-presidential candidates. So I have a very heavy responsibility, namely what, to carry this ship called PDI-P," Megawati said in front of her cadres.
"So if someone says, 'Ma'am, I want to go to the right', I have to tell my son. You have to be in the middle. If he doesn't want to understand, I can use my prerogative," added the 4th President of the Republic of Indonesia.
If the cadres do not want to follow her directions, Megawati invites them to leave the party. "I warned you that the ship we were carrying was in the middle. Yesterday it was so viral that I went back and forth," she asserted.
Megawati said that the threat to leave the party was not because she easily removed cadres.
"That's indeed my prerogative. So it's not because it's easy," she said.
