JAKARTA - Chairman of the PDI Perjuangan DPP Said Abdullah appreciated Jokowi's volunteers who included the name of Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo as a candidate recommended to President Jokowi as a presidential candidate for the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).
"This support will certainly add electoral strength to Ganjar Pranowo which in the last survey has increased significantly, as reflected in the SMRC Survey, where Ganjar Pranowo received 39.2 percent support, Prabowo 32.1 percent, and Anies Baswedan 19.7 percent," said Abdullah, as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, May 15.
Apart from that, said Said Abdullah, the trend of increasing electability for Ganjar was accompanied by a trend of increasing electability for PDI Perjuangan, and consistently occupying the top positions in the electability of political parties from various survey institutions.
"Regarding the vice presidential candidate who will accompany Mas Ganjar, this is under the authority of the Chairperson of the PDI Perjuangan and general chairmen of parties that are in coalition with the PDI Perjuangan," he said.
Said Abdullah said the Chairperson of the PDI Perjuangan Megawati Soekarnoputri emphasized that the main basis for the PDI Perjuangan in choosing a vice presidential candidate to accompany Ganjar was for the glory of Indonesia Raya with Ganjar Pranowo.
“In translating this, of course, we don't jump right into people's names. The main scale is related to his commitment to his bonding with the PDI Perjuangan, which includes Ganjar Pranowo. Therefore, the figure must be able to put himself in both of these things, "he said.
The second requirement, said Said Abdullah, is that it must represent the social, cultural, and manifestations of mutual cooperation between nationalist and religious groups.
"A figure who is indeed firmly rooted in the mix of nationalists and religions, so that not only adds electoral strength, more importantly, strong political support for the next government, both in the government and in the DPR," he said.
The third requirement is having the vision and ability to continue the development that has been bequeathed by President Jokowi, both from a political and technocratic aspect.
"So that in continuing the national leadership relay after President Jokowi, the next government can immediately "tune in" and step on the gas, not to be preoccupied with internal affairs," said Said Abdullah.
For information, registration for presidential and vice presidential candidates is scheduled to open on October 19 2023 to November 25, 2023.
