Jakarta (beritajatim.id) – The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) revealed that its Chairwoman, Megawati Soekarnoputri, will announce the names of regional head and deputy head candidates who will receive party recommendations for the 2024 Regional Elections.
“On Wednesday, August 14. So, on Wednesday, August 14, Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri will announce the first wave of regional head and deputy head candidates,” said PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto in Senayan, Jakarta, on Sunday (August 11, 2024).
However, Hasto did not disclose which regions would have their candidates announced on August 14.
“Yes, on August 14, the announcement will be made. It will be comprehensive, representing all of Indonesia. The candidates will come from Aceh, Papua, Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Maluku—essentially covering the entire nation,” he explained.
Meanwhile, Hasto emphasized that the party continues to consolidate and communicate with other political parties regarding the 2024 Regional Elections.
He dismissed any notion that PDI-P is difficult to engage with other political parties for the upcoming elections.
“Don’t forget that despite the intense challenges we faced during the previous presidential and legislative elections, our results at the district/city level increased. So, cooperation with other political parties like Golkar, Gerindra, PKB, PPP, Perindo, Hanura, NasDem, Democrat, and PKS is well represented,” he stated.
Furthermore, Hasto noted that PDI-P has become a unifying force among all parties for the 2024 Regional Elections. (hdl)
