JAKARTA - The Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) announced the name of Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate (candidate) to be supported in the 2024 presidential election from his party.
Ganjar was chosen after the PSI management asked the public directly regarding the figure of the presidential candidate he would choose in the upcoming election.
"From the results of the people's breakthrough, we announce that PSI will nominate Pak Ganjar Pranowo as PSI 2024 presidential candidate," PSI Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Trustees Grace Natalie said at a press conference online, Monday, October 3.
While the name of the vice presidential candidate (Cawapres), PSI supports the daughter of the 4th President of the Republic of Indonesia KH Abdurrahman Wahid, Zannuba Ariffah Chafsoh or Yenny Wahid, to accompany Ganjar Pranowo.
"As for the Vice Presidential Candidate, PSI chose Zannuba Ariffah Chafsoh Wahid or familiarly called Mbak Yenny Wahid," he continued.
Grace assesses Yenny has qualified personal qualities. As an Islamic woman figure, he said, Yenny Wahid was respected for his thoughts and contributions in social movements.
"As the son of a figure who is highly respected by PSI, namely Gus Dur, Yenny we know consistently in continuing Gus Dur's struggle in the ideals of realizing a just and tolnerable Indonesia," he said.
Therefore, PSI stated that the combination of Ganjar - Yenny is very suitable to be supported in the 2024 presidential election. PSI assessed that both of them were able to continue Jokowi's leadership - Maruf Amin and bring Indonesia to a fair and tolerant country.
"We consider the combination of Ganjar Pranowo-Yenny Wahid, we consider the best combination to continue national leadership. This is a couple that PSI will encourage to become presidential and vice presidential candidates in 2024, to realize Indonesia as a just and tolerant country," said Grace.
"May God always be with this nation. And may the people approve PSI's steps," he added.
