JAKARTA - Secretary General (Secretary General) of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto responded to the news that the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) would declare the Mayor (Walkot) of Surakarta Gibran Rakabuming Raka as a candidate for vice president (cawapres) to accompany Prabowo Subianto in the 2024 presidential election. "The important thing is that we have made a declaration between Pak Ganjar and Prof. Mahfud," said Hasto when contacted by the media crew at the Media Center TPN Ganjar Presiden, Jakarta, Friday, October 20, which was confiscated by Antara. He said that his party had declared Ganjar Pranowo and Mahfud MD as a pair of candidates for presidential and vice-presidential elections in the 2024 presidential election. Not only that, he said, PDIP General Chair (Ketum) Megawati Soekarnoputri had instructed all party cadres bearing the white-nosed bull to immediately move downwards. "What Mrs. Mega said after having a dialogue with the general chairmen, including President Jokowi, when he proposed Prof Mahfud as a legal warrior, the defenders of the wong cilik who carried out the legal formation turned out to have a positive response," he said.

He considered that politics must adhere to political ethics. Because politics is driven by moral values, goodness, and dedication to the progress of the nation and state. "It's not ambition to violate propriety in politics," he said. According to Hasto, Megawati together with PDIP DPP chairman Prananda Prabowo are actively monitoring every day to find out which cadres have not moved to reach the people. Hasto revealed that the chairman of the PDIP DPP, Puan Maharani, had consolidated to East Java to meet volunteers. "We immediately moved because we believe that Pak Ganjar and Prof Mahfud were born from the eyes of the people, from the expectations of the people. That is what is being encouraged," he concluded. The Ganjar-Mahfud pair officially registered with the KPU on the first day of registration for the presidential and vice presidential candidates, Thursday, October 19 afternoon.
