Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto said he would analyze the background of the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Uno. This step was taken after the discourse of pairing Sandi as a vice presidential candidate with Ganjar Pranowo, who is the PDIP presidential candidate.

Sandiaga, who has now resigned as a cadre of the Gerindra Party, is rumored to be closing in to the United Development Party (PPP). The resignation was a few days before Mardiono's party announced support for Ganjar.

"We are analyzing historical aspects, the aspect of his commitment in building designs for the future, competence, track records, you do all the analysis of the names that appear," Hasto told reporters at the PDIP DPP Office, Jalan Diponegoro, Central Jakarta, Thursday, April 27.

Hasto said that every aspiration, such as pairing Ganjar with Sandiaga, must be appreciated. However, this analysis is important so that the person who accompanies the presidential candidate is appropriate.

The results of this analysis will later be submitted to PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri. Then, talks to determine the figure of Ganjar's companion will be carried out with other parties that agree to conduct political cooperation.

"We provide it as input, because it is part of the assignment given by the general chairman," he said.

"But once again the link about the narrowing of who will accompany Mr. Ganjar Pranowo later has several stages after the cooperation of this political party is finalized," continued Hasto.

Previously, Plt Chairman of PPP Mardiono asked that his cadres could be cawapres who accompanied Ganjar in the 2024 presidential election. This statement was made after PPP expressed its support for the white-haired politician.

This request, called Mardiono, came from the PPP Rapimnas Forum. So, the mandate should be realized.

"The PPP DPP will try its best to communicate and take political steps to encourage PPP cadres to be paired as candidates for vice president of the Republic of Indonesia to accompany Mr. Ganjar Pranowo," said Mardiono in Sleman, Yogyakarta, Wednesday, April 26.
