JAKARTA - The United Development Party (PPP) hopes that Sandiaga Uno can become a vice presidential candidate who will accompany the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle in the 2024 presidential election.

"I really hope Sandiaga can accompany Pak Ganjar, that's our hope PPP," said Deputy Chairperson of the PPP Sharia Council Kiai Haji Haris Shodaqoh while accompanying Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno at the Gathering and Dialogue of Religious Leaders and Santri at the Al-Itqon Islamic Boarding School, Bugen, Semarang, Friday, June 9 evening.

According to him, Sandiaga Uno's religious figure is suitable to accompany Ganjar Pranowo who is nationalist.

"Mr. Sandiaga is very suitable for Mr. Ganjar. It turns out that I was also a bit surprised, his religion is not an arbitrary religion," said the cleric who is also the caretaker of the Al-Itqon Islamic Boarding School, as reported by Antara.

Responding to the opening of his opportunity to become a vice presidential candidate from the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo, Sandiaga said that this was the authority of the General Chairperson of PPP Mardiono.

"That's the domain of the party chairman, but of course I will continue to contribute to being in the midst of society. What is the struggle must be close to the community, unite with the community, and provide solutions for the community," he said.

The man who is currently the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy admitted that there was already a common opinion with PPP.

"Based on the direction of the PPP leadership, I have to go through several inspection processes (perloncoan), yes. This includes the last aspect and this has gone to graduation, God willing, we can pass," he said.

Deputy Chairperson of the PPP faction of the Central Java Provincial DPRD, Muhamad Ngainirrichadl, added that Sandiaga Uno's arrival to the Al-Itqon Islamic Boarding School was in order to strengthen the commitment of the students to the ratification of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).

"Mr. Sandiaga's presence specifically also emphasized that he, God willing, has committed, has faith, has a heart to strengthen and raise PPP," he said.
