PPP Ensures Sandiaga Uno's Move Is Getting Serious

JAKARTA - Chairman of the DPP United Development Party (PPP) Achmad Baidowi said the discourse of the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno joining his party was increasingly showing seriousness

"The discourse of Menparekraf Sandiaga Uno to join PPP continues to show seriousness," said Awiek, his nickname, as reported by ANTARA, Friday, June 9.

This seriousness, he said, came after Sandiaga met with Plt Chairman of PPP Muhamad Mardiono, who was then followed up with technical steps in the field.

He said that on the sidelines of his two-day visit to Central Java from June 9 to 10, Sandiaga plans to stay in touch with the Islamic boarding school which is the basis of PPP.

"That is to Al-Itqon Islamic Boarding School, Semarang, the head of the Deputy Chair of the Sharia Council of the PPP DPP KH. Haris Sodaqoh. Next is also the Ar-Raudhoh Islamic Boarding School in Batang, Central Java," he said.

Awiek said Sandiaga's visit to the PPP nodes was in the context of an orientation or introduction period so that the former Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta was closer to the PPP extended family.

He also emphasized that the party bearing the Kaaba is ready to give Sandiaga a special position if he decides to officially join.

"If later positive joins PPP, of course there will be an honorable place for the caliber character Mr. Sandiaga Uno," said the PPP spokesman.

Previously, Monday (29/5), Sandiaga Uno asked all parties to be patient about the option that said he would join the United Development Party (PPP) or the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS).

"Friends, just be patient," said Sandi in Jakarta, Monday, when answering the question of whether he would choose to join PPP or PKS.

The former Gerindra Party politician said that regarding the opportunity for him to join PPP, he would now enter the next stages. Sandi explained that he had already held talks with the Deputy Chairperson of PPP.
