JAKARTA - The United Development Party (PPP) believes that its partners in the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB), namely the National Mandate Party (PAN) will also support Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate (candidate) in the 2024 presidential election. The reason is, PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan or Zulhas once gave the codes that would carry Ganjar Pranowo as a candidate for president at his party's event. "PAN in yesterday's National Working Meeting, although it has not been decided, but it has been implied that Mr. Zul mentioned Pak Ganjar's name," said PPP DPP Chairman Achmad Baidowi, in an online discussion, Saturday, April 29. Even so, the man called Awiek said PPP appreciated the choice of their respective political parties. So, he said, if internal KIB consisting of PPP, PAN and Golkar met differences regarding the name of the presidential candidate, then they could still discuss it together The member of the DPR emphasized that until now KIB is still very solid even though PPP has officially supported Ganjar Pranowo's candidacy. "If it turns out that the presidential candidate is not the same, yes, I'm sorry, because there is a difference of opinion, because we used to join it well, even if there is a difference of opinion, it must also be good," explained Awiek. Previously, PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan had given a signal to support Ganjar Pranowo-Erick Thohir's pair at the National Coordination Meeting in Semarang. In fact, Zulhas conveyed the signal in front of President Jokowi.

“ Gubernur Jateng, Mas Ganjar Pranowo. Seen, his hair added white, sir. Kening began to dredquo; Zulhas told Jokowi at Hotel Padma, Kota Semarang, Jateng, Minggu 26 February.“It was not made-buat pak, natural. As a sign from Mr. President,” imbuhnya. Zulhas again hinted at his support for Ganjar in a rhyme. This time, the Minister of Trade also mentioned the name Erick Thohir. “ Take a walk to Simpang Lima, don't forget to buy spring rolls. If Mr. Ganjar and Mr. Erick are together, God willing, Indonesia will be even more victorious, ” said Zulhas. But recently, PAN began to look at Gerindra Chairman Prabowo Subianto after the gathering which led to the discourse of forming a major coalition at PAN headquarters. PAN felt that Prabowo had been walking with him for 10 years so it would not be difficult if he had to impose support on the defense minister.
