Megawati Said There Was A Puan Lobbying Party To Meet With Her To Discuss Cooperation In The 2024 Presidential Election

Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri said there were a number of parties lobbying PDIP DPP Chair Puan Maharani to meet her. It did not specify the party, but this meeting was held to discuss opportunities for political cooperation in the 2024 presidential election.

"I have heard that some have asked to lobby Mbak Puan to meet. I said, yes, it will be planned later. Please," Megawati said as quoted from a written statement received on Saturday, May 6.

However, this meeting must be adjusted to Megawati's busy schedule. The reason is that he is focusing on managing the registration of legislative candidates from the PDIP to determine the vice presidential candidate (cawapres) to accompany Ganjar Pranowo.

"If it's not regulated, this is about to come, this is what I want to come, that's why I'm the one who gets dizzy," he said.

"Well, internally (PDIP, ed) only has to determine the legislature. We are at the same time. Then for the president, I also have the task of looking for the vice president. I think first which one comes first," continued the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia.

Furthermore, Megawati ensured that PDIP was open to political parties that wanted to cooperate in the 2024 presidential election. The proof is that currently the party bearing the bull symbol is with the United Development Party (PPP) to win Ganjar.

"Well, we (PDIP, ed), I have given an flexibility who will be called with us, I always say working together. It turns out that PPP is the first," he concluded.
