PDIP Only One Step Away From Registering Its Candidates With The KPU

Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri said her party had compiled a list of legislative candidates in the 2024 election. They just had to wait for the finalization before submitting it to the General Elections Commission (KPU).

"Before coming here, we held a meeting. In our case, in general, the levels of 1 and 2, the regencies of cities and provinces, and the DPR RI can be said to have been completed," Megawati said from a written statement received on Saturday, May 6.

There is still one or two more meetings that Megawati will hold with high-ranking party officials. However, he ensured that the activity was only aimed at determining the final result.

"I pay attention to no crucial things, yes (about registration of candidates, ed)," he said.

Only after everything is finished, PDIP immediately registers its candidates with the KPU according to the specified time frame. Registration for prospective candidates can be done as of Monday 1 May.

The KPU said political parties have until May 14 next to register their legislative candidates. On May 1 to 13, registration can be done at 08.00-16.00. Meanwhile, on May 14, registration starts at 08.00-23.59 local time.
