Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto said the winning team Ganjar Pranowo had not yet been formed. The formation was only carried out after the vice presidential candidate (cawapres) was announced. "The winning team was formed after there were vice presidential candidates, parties that joined and were formed together and then registered with the KPU," Hasto told reporters at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Central Jakarta, Friday, June 23. Hasto also spoke about the news of the former TNI Commander General (Ret.) Andika Perkasa being the team leader. He said that until now there has been no decision. "Until now, no one has been appointed as the head of the winning team for the president and vice president," he said. Previously, PDIP DPP chairman Puan Maharani had heard the proposal for Andika's name as the head of Ganjar Pranowo's health team in the presidential election. He said, the former TNI Commander was included in the list that had been prepared. "(Andika's name, ed) is on my list," said Puan to reporters while reviewing preparations for the peak of BBK commemoration, Thursday, June 22. Puan is the party assigned to arrange the Ganjar campaign team. "Then it will form a team," he said. For information, Andika Perkasa made the pilgrimage to coincide with the day Bung Karno died as well as in the 53rd series of Bung Karno Haul events. On that occasion, he was also accompanied by the Chairman of the PDI-P DPP who is also the former Mayor of Blitar Djarot Syaiful Hidayat, a member of the House of Representatives from the PDI-P faction Andreas Pareira, the Chairman of the Soekarno Education Foundation Development Board, Romy Hendra Rahtomo Soekarno, and the Chairman of the Soekarno Education Foundation, Dade Marhaendra.

The pilgrimage to Bung Karno's grave is not the only time this has happened. Andika said that she had been used to doing it since she was a child because she came from Blitar and admired the figure of the First President of the Republic of Indonesia.
