JAKARTA - Acting Chairman of the DPP United Development Party (PPP) Muhamad Mardiono said that the position to be given to the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno would be given at his party's National Leadership Meeting (Rapimnas) which will be held in Jakarta.

"Later, what we will focus on in Rapimnas will later become what task we will give to Pak Sandi," said Mardiono, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, June 12.

He also did not deny that the Rapimnas had the opportunity to discuss the possibility of Sandiaga being a candidate for vice president (cawapres) to accompany Ganjar Pranowo.

"Can it be, can it or not, later PPP will have a mechanism in making strategic decisions, at least through Rapimnas it is that we hear the voices of all administrators throughout Indonesia," he said.

He also said that PPP had reviewed a number of potential names to be presented as a companion to Ganjar Pranowo, including discussing and having an open and closed dialogue with national figures.

"Of course we PPP will present a leader of the nation, right, we must also go through a very deep defeat because this is for the benefit of the people and citizens," he said.

Mardiono explained that before Rapimnas was held, Sandiaga's announcement would first be announced to PPP on Wednesday, June 14.

"On Wednesday, God willing, Pak Sandi will officially join PPP. Well, then after that of course there will be a party mechanism, namely there will be a Rapimnas, a National Leadership Meeting which God willing, will not be long from Wednesday's event," he said.

He explained that Sandiaga joined PPP after going through a long process, including through an introduction process with PPP cadres in the regions and kiai.

"Then almost all over Indonesia Pak Sandi has held discussions and communication with PPP cadres both in official events and not official events," he said.

Previously, last Sunday, Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno said he would immediately coordinate with the Acting Chairperson of the United Development Party (PPP) Muhammad Mardiono regarding himself to be inaugurated as a PPP cadre.

"Please pray for me and I will coordinate with Mr. Mardiono. The hope is that it will be launched and what we want to build is the acceleration of development, especially in the economic sector," he said after attending the "Creative Economic Potential Dialogue at Islamic Boarding Schools" at Annur Islamic Boarding School, Kedungbanteng, Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Sunday.
