Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto read the rhyme in front of the United Development Party (PPP) group who came to the PDIP DPP Office, Jalan Diponegoro, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Sunday, April 30.

This visit is related to support for Ganjar Pranowo in the 2024 presidential election. Starting his rhyme, Hasto mentioned about the green watermelon which contains red. It is hoped that the cooperation that will occur can bring blessings.

"The green watermelon fruit contains red, sweet taste makes everything clear. The cooperation between the two parties brings the mandate, for Indonesia to advance and the people will reap blessings," said Hasto at the meeting.

The discussion on the cooperation of these two parties was then carried out behind closed doors. However, Hasto had said that the PDIP-PP meeting was to discuss cooperation in winning the Governor of Central Java.

As for the meeting, PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri and Plt Chairman of PPP M. Mardiono were present. Then there was also Ganjar Pranowo who appeared to be wearing a black cap and a red party uniform.

Previously, Plt Chairman of PPP Muhamad Mardiono said Ganjar's election as a PPP presidential reading had gone through deliberation and in-depth studies as a result of the V PPP National Leadership Meeting (Rapimnas) which was held on 23-25 April 2023 in Sleman, Yogyakarta Special Region. There are several reasons why this party chose the white hair figure.

First, PPP wants to continue political support for Ganjar Pranowo in his candidacy for the president of the Republic of Indonesia to continue the leadership relay for the 2024-2029 period. Similar support was given by PPP, namely political support in the 2018 Central Java Pilkada.

Second, PPP wants to entrust amar ma'ruf's politics to Ganjar to be implemented in the political order of government in the future. Third, PPP assesses Ganjar's capacity, integrity, and acceptability are very worthy to occupy the position of leader of the nation.

Fourth, historically Ganjar Pranowo is part that cannot be separated from PPP because his father-in-law, Alm H. Ahmad Mushadiq Supriyadi served as chairman of the PPP Purbalingga DPC for 4 terms.

"Based on the mandate of the 5th National Rapimnas, the PPP DPP will try its best to communicate and take political steps to encourage PPP cadres to be paired as Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia to accompany Mr. Ganjar Pranowo," said Mardiono.
