JAKARTA - Plt. The general chairman (Ketum) of the PPP resulting from Mukernas Serang, Muhammad Mardiono, was encouraged to do islah or make peace with the former chairman of PPP Suharso Monoarfa.

Mardiono admitted that there was a desire for Islam. However, the member of the Presidential Advisory Council (Wantimpres) submitted one condition to Suharso. "Yes, of course (wanted islah, ed) all of this, we are building a big concept not for people, but for parties," Mardiono told reporters, Wednesday, September 7. "If we as members of the party, as party cadres, it is obligatory to prevent, for example, from becoming a polemic, then this is not prolonged," he continued.

Mardiono emphasized that the results of the Serang National Working Group which appointed him as the Acting Head of PPP were a joint decision, not a personal decision. According to him, musyarawah is the spirit of PPP.

"Yes, of course (there is a desire for islah). Why? What we do for parties is not for individuals, yes, not for one, this is for the benefit of the party. Because of that, the implementation in these various activities is that we are not alone, involve many, for the benefit of the party," he explained.

The conditions that must be met if islah wants to happen, namely islah must be done for the benefit of the party, not for individual interests.

"Of course the conditions are for the benefit of PPP, not for the benefit of personal people. Of course that's a condition," said Mardiono. Previously, the East Java PPP DPW encouraged Mardiono and Suharso Monoarfa to immediately conduct an islah to prevent chaos within PPP.

Deputy Chairperson of the East Java PPP DPW, Mujahid Anshori hopes that in conditions like this their respective egos must be suppressed, met and pounded for the benefit of PPP in the future.

"They must meet and must be met as soon as possible. So it really takes a big soul from all parties for the greatness of the party, not to raise individuals," said Mujahid, Wednesday, September 7.

Mujahid is worried that if this dynamic ends in chaos and internal division of the party can disrupt a number of preparations for the upcoming 2024 General Election. Moreover, the stages and process of verification towards the political year have rolled out.

If not resolved, according to him, PPP will only focus on internal conflict and noise. So it is feared that it will erode the upcoming electoral gains.

"So, we hope that all of them will lower their ego and orientation and must raise PPP," he said.
