PADANG - A political observer from Andalas University (Unand) West Sumatra Aidinil Zetra doubts Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno's move from Gerindra to the United Development Party (PPP) will have a significant impact on his new party. "After Sandiaga's merger to PPP, according to my observations, it will not be too influential," said Aidinil, quoted by ANTARA Monday, June 19. The reason, said Aidinil, Gerindra's political power post-Directorate ofvisi of the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) remains the same, not decreasing or decreasing. On that basis, he doubts that the move of the former Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta could have a significant impact on the party bearing the Ka'bah symbol commanded by Acting Chairman Muhammad Mardiono. Then, regarding the offer offered by PPP encourages Sandiaga Uno as a candidate for vice president pair with Ganjar Pranowo, he said that it would depend on Megawati Soekarnoputri's decision as the General Chair of PDIP. He said that if Megawati looked at the habits, then the people who were accepted were individuals who had a strong environmental base in the party body. "Sandiaga who had just entered the PPP, of course Megawati would think whether Sandiaga Uno was able to represent PPP as a party or just to sell Sandiaga Uno's figure," he explained. The political observer from Andalas University Prof. Asrinaldi said that Sandiaga Uno joining PPP was predicted would actually boost the electability of the party bearing the Kaaba.

He said that with the capital of good figures, electability, and performance at the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga is believed to be helping boost party electability ahead of the 2024 General Election (Pemilu). Moreover, he said, Sandiaga is a minister figure who is still relatively young so that he is believed to be able to attract constituents from millennials.
