Muhamad Mardiono: PPP is open and ready to cooperate in the candidacy for presidential candidates for mutual progress and benefit
Sleman – The United Development Party (PPP) stated that it was preparing itself to face the 2024 election contestation and various national political dynamics. For this reason, PPP is open and ready to cooperate with internal and external parties for common goals for the sake of progress and mutual benefit.
Plt. PPP Chairperson Muhamad Mardiono, at the V PPP National Leadership Meeting (Rapimnas) in Sleman Yogyakarta, Tuesday (25/4).
“With the dynamics of national politics which are currently running very dynamically, we must be ready to cooperate with internal and external parties for common goals for the sake of progress and mutual benefit,” Mardiono said to the media.
Mardiono explained, even though PPP joined the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB), this would not interfere with PPP’s choices or political stance in supporting a particular presidential candidate.
Apart from that, continued Mardiono, the DPP’s concern is preparing Legislative Candidates from the levels of the DPR RI, DPD, Provincial DPRD, to Regency/City DPRD so that PPP is able to reclaim victory and glory.
In the legislative contest, the DPP PPP is open to the regions to nominate their candidates, which in essence will be reviewed or studied first by the DPP team.
“If you feel you meet the requirements and have a noble purpose, we will fully support it. Given the deadline for the 2024 Election stages that are ongoing, one of which is the deadline for registering members of the legislature on April 30, 2023, it is hoped that all cadres can work optimally,” he said.
Meanwhile, PPP Secretary General Arwani Thomafi emphasized that one of the interesting national political dynamics is the presidential and cawapres candidates.
He also stressed that there was no longer any talk of postponing the election and invited all PPP cadres to prepare legislative candidates from the DPR RI to DPRD levels, they must also prepare presidential and cawapres candidates.
“Several names of figures have been officially declared by political parties as presidential candidates. In addition, several figures have also strengthened to become vice presidential candidates even though they have not been officially declared, said Arwani.
According to him, PPP is currently part of the United Indonesia Coalition, so PPP must also take strategic steps so as not to lose momentum.[]
