JAKARTA - PPP stated that it is still listening to grassroots aspirations regarding the determination of presidential and vice-presidential candidates who will be supported in the 2024 presidential election. PPP does not want to be arrogant when announcing the name of the presidential candidate in 2024 first. Deputy General Chairperson (Waketum) of PPP Arsul Sani said his party did not want to be involved in the sentiles of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri, such as the political party declaring the white-nosed bull cadre.
Initially, Arsul conveyed that PPP was a party that was in the process of determining candidates to listen to aspirations from below. For example, there was a suggestion, then invited Menparekraf Sandiaga Uno and SOE Minister Erick Thohir at a number of internal events. "The consequences, all figures who want to be promoted by PPP are of course to get acquainted with the PPP structure below, that's what Pak Sandiaga Uno and Pak Erick Thohir are doing now," said Arsul at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Monday, January 16.
The Deputy Chairperson of the MPR revealed that a number of PPP Branch Leadership Councils (DPC) had been seen determining their direction. However, so far, support for certain figures in the majority of regional structures is still relatively fluid.
"At PPP, once again, the sound of support is still fluid. In Central Java, Pak Erick is strong, in East Java too. So PPP is based on not territory, it's already branches now. For example, if we ask several DPCs in Madura, they call Prof Mahfud, because it's natural that Madura's best son is currently in the government. Let it be, it doesn't matter. That's precisely where we enjoy democracy internally," said Arsul.
Arsul said the internal dynamics of PPP in proposing the candidate was a natural thing.
He explained that later all proposals from the regional structure would be brought to the PPP Mukernas which would produce the name of the candidate supported by the PPP to run in the 2024 presidential election.
"Later, the bottom support will be with A, to B, how come it turns out that what DPP decided through mukernas is Si C, we will explain why choosing the C. But actually friends already understand that PPP is now the smallest position in the DPR," he explained.Landran became the political party with the smallest vote acquisition position, so PPP did not want to be arrogant in announcing the name of the presidential candidate. Arsul did not want to be like other parties that were hit by the sentiles of the PDIP Ketum Megawati Soekarnoputri for championing PDIP cadres in the 2024 presidential election.
"So I couldn't then dare to be arrogant. I wanted A or B. Not to mention that if she was next flicked by Mrs. Mega, she continued to apologize, we didn't want to," said Arsul.
