JAKARTA - Volunteer Ganjar Pranowo (GP) Mania officially disbanded today. The Jokowi Mania (JoMan) group that formed the Mania GP emphasized that there was no order from anywhere, even President Joko Widodo, in this disbandment.

"Once again, I have answered yes, firstly there is no order from any party, especially Mr. Jokowi or directions or orders from the PDIP," said Chairman (Ketum) of DPP JoMan Immanuel Ebenezer alias Noel at a press conference at the JoMan DPP Office, Jakarta, Thursday 9 February, confiscated by Antara.

He continued, the decision to dissolve GP Mania was purely JoMan's DPP decision for a number of reasons, including, they considered Ganjar to be a person who had no ideas and guts.

"Hopefully this will be a criticism for him, his adrenaline movement will become more courageous," said Noel.

AfterGP Mania, Noel said that the JoMan DPP would formulate political steps in order to determine the direction of support for other figures to become presidential candidates.

Currently, he continued, DPP JoMan is considering a number of figures to be supported as presidential candidates, such as former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, DPR RI Speaker Puan Maharani, and Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto.

"We are still under consideration. We hope that we will definitely support one of them, whether it is Mas Anies, Mbak Puan, Pak Prabowo, yes, we will definitely support it, it is impossible or not," he said.

Previously, GP Mania was formed in 2021 at the initiative of the JoMan DPP.

Then, GP Mania declared the volunteer organization DPP JoMan in various regions such as DKI Jakarta, East Java, East Nusa Tenggara, Central Java, West Java, West Sumatra, North Sumatra, Aceh, Jambi, and a number of areas on the islands of Kalimantan and Sulawesi.

After the disbandment of GP Mania, Noel said DPP JoMan asked all JoMan administrators and volunteers to remain united and wait for the DPP's direction or decision regarding their direction of support for presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 2024 presidential election.

In addition, he also stated that DPP JoMan is not legally and politically responsible if there are parties who use the name of GP Mania since the decision to dissolve the volunteer organization was submitted.
