Deputy Chairperson of PPP Amir Uskara responded to the statement by PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri who insinuated other political parties (political parties) to implement its cadres to be promoted as presidential candidates (candidates) in 2024. Amir considered it natural for PPP to nominate cadres of other political parties because they could not carry them alone, just like the PDIP. "We cannot see PPP as equal to PDIP. PDIP can carry it itself so of course they are free to determine who their cadres want to be encouraged," said Amir at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 11. It is known, the majority of PPP cadres in the regions want the party to presidentialize the Governor of Central Java, PDIP cadre Ganjar Pranowo and Deputy Chairman of the Gerindra Board of Trustees Sandiaga Uno in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. In fact, Amir said, even political parties that are members of the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) cannot carry the presidential and vice presidential candidates themselves. So it is necessary to propose a name from both internal cadres and external cadres. "If we are in KIB, there is no one that can carry it ourselves, so of course we will talk to each other internally who we will encourage. Because there is only one party for the presidential candidate," said the chairman of the PPP faction of the DPR. According to Amir, PPP and KIB have the right to propose the name of the presidential candidate from any circle until later they can be promoted as presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 2024 election. "For internally, we still have the right, Golkar has the right to carry it, PAN has the right to propose, PPP also has the right to propose. But we will talk again to issue one name," said Amir. Previously, the Chairperson of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri said that she did not convey any names for the 2024 presidential candidate in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the PDIP at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta, Tuesday, January 10. Megawati is confused by many people waiting for the announcement of the PDIP presidential candidate. In fact, she wants to attract the white-moncong bull cadre to be pushed forward for the 2024 presidential election. "Ee or not, how come it's true. My business. Gile, it's good. I'll see. I told Mbak Puan and Mas Nana, 'It's funny people are in politics now, don't be like this. Why is that, how do you want it?'," said Megawati. Megawati's speech immediately received a lively applause from the cadres who fulfilled the PDIP 50th anniversary commemoration. Megawati couldn't understand the desire to attract PDIP cadres to run in the 2024 presidential election. "Is it really not having my own cadres?... Yes, I like to dompleng-dompleng. Iki aturanne piye anyway? Until that's me," he added. He immediately asked Megawati's surprise to the Secretary General of PDIP Hasto Kristiyanto. To Hasto, the mother of the PDIP DPP Chair, Puan Maharani, asked about the rules for the presidential election at the General Elections Commission (KPU) whether there was any change. "It is clear that the rules that the candidates will carry are not supporters, it is different between the supporters and supporters, by one party or several parties," said Megawati. One of the PDIP cadres that the other party has looked at for the 2024 presidential election is Ganjar Pranowo. The name of the Governor of Central Java has received the attention of the party members of the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) because it is qualified in a number of surveys related to the five-year democratic party. Ganjar is said to have pocketed support from PAN cadres and PPP.
