JAKARTA - Senior PDIP politician Hendrawan Supratikno, emphasized that there was no commotion within the PDIP as mentioned by the Secretary General of the Golkar Party Lodewijk F Paulus. Hendrawan ensured that the chaos in the fight for the presidential candidate between Ganjar Pranowo and Puan Maharani was not in the internal dynamics of the PDIP. He guaranteed that the internal dynamics of the party were under control. "There is no such thing as clashes or chaos, what exists is controlled internal dynamics (internal dynamics)," said Hendrawan Supratikno when confirmed, Friday, December 23. Hendrawan understands the interpretation of other parties against PDIP cadres who have a high chance of participating in the presidential election contestation. However, he said, PDIP remained in the same line waiting for the instructions of the General Chairperson of the PDIP DPP Megawati Soekarnoputri regarding the presidential candidate who was carried in the 2024 presidential election. "This is a form of dialectic expression. But everyone is aware that the culture that is built is a line culture, a mutual cooperation culture with the Ketum is at the top of the command pyramid," said Hendrawan. Previously, the Secretary General of the Golkar Party, Lodewijk F Paulus, said that there was a commotion in PDIP after the results of Ganjar Pranowo's electability survey beat Puan Maharani. Initially, Lodewijk reminded cadres about Golkar's commitment to winning. He emphasized that this commitment must be realized in the field not only in the meeting room. According to him, there are two steps that must be taken to become winners. First, carry out 'air strikes'. Second, ground attacks carried out by cadres in the field. The airstrikes in question are socialization using banners, billboards, social media, to survey institutions. He considered that this method would be enough to influence the public and even divide the party. Currently, Lodewijk is alluding to the PDIP issue. "We see the impact of the airstrikes on our neighbor, PDIP. When a Ganjar surveys are high, and a Puan surveys are low, what happens? We are still feeling the clashes inside. And until now we are still feeling it," said Lodewijk while giving a speech at the North Sumatra Regional Leadership Meeting (Rapimda) of the Golkar DPD in Medan, Thursday, December 22. Lodewijk said the survey results did not only have an impact on PDIP but also on Golkar. Namely, there was a commotion in the DPR WhatsApp group because of that. "Golkar is also the same, when the Golkar survey was low, maybe I didn't know my friends in the province, but at the center, in Jakarta, when our survey was down, someone became a defender, someone complained, but there were also those who survived. Finally we broke up, making a fuss in the WA group DPR RI," he said.
