Ganjar Pranowo as one of the presidential candidates who will definitely continue all the development programs that have been previously promoted by President Jokowi, so that in the future a sustainable development is realized, which will also bring many positive impacts to the people of the country.
So far, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is indeed one of the Presidents of the Republic of Indonesia (RI) who is known to have intensified various changes in the country, especially in the infrastructure development sector which is evenly distributed throughout the archipelago without exception.
With this very even development, of course it will be able to further suppress and reduce social inequality in society and economic inequality for the people. So that there are no longer certain areas that are too dominating with very advanced development, while on the other hand there are still areas that are very underdeveloped.
In fact, the Head of State himself has repeatedly emphasized that he will change the development paradigm that has been applied and enforced in Indonesia, namely Java-centric to become Indonesia-centric, which is also entirely aimed at preparing or welcoming Indonesia Gold in the coming 2045.
Therefore, it is very important that the entire vision and mission as well as the flagship programs and development programs that have been promoted by President Joko Widodo be continued and become a sustainable program so that it can bring many positive impacts and direct benefits to the community.
So, it is also important, in the momentum of holding the General Election (Election) and also the Presidential Election (Pilpres) in the upcoming 2024, the people must be able to determine and choose the nation’s future leaders who are certain to be able to realize this sustainability.
Political observer from Pelita Harapan University (UPH), Emrus Sihombing stated that the Presidential Candidate (Capres) from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), Ganjar Pranowo, would absolutely not allow all development projects and programs during President Jokowi’s era to stall or not. there is continuity.
He emphasized that the article, for example, turns out that all the development programs that have been initiated by the current Head of State have been left alone and not continued at all, aka stalled, it will also greatly affect how the electability of the PDI Perjuangan is obtained.
Meanwhile, the people themselves already know that between Ganjar Pranowo and President Joko Widodo, both come from the same political party (Parpol), namely the party led by Megawati Soekarnoputri, PDI Perjuangan.
Precisely with the two of them coming from the same party, it is clear that the two of them have a special and special closeness, including that whatever is done by one of the two political figures will also influence each other. It is also not surprising if it turns out that volunteers from President Jokowi in the last Presidential Election, now they are participating in declaring their full support for Ganjar in the 2024 Presidential Election.
Ganjar Pranowo himself has also emphasized his strong commitment that regarding the development program owned by the seventh Indonesian President, Joko Widodo during his 2 (two) leadership periods or for the last 10 years, of course it must be continued.
The leader, who is identical with white hair, also gave a very high appreciation for how President Jokowi has performed so far, which has provided a lot of foundations for the development of the country while he was in office. Some of the foundations start from the existence of infrastructure development, social assistance (bansos), development in the economic sector and also the management of natural resources (SDA).
Not only is he a leader who will definitely be able to continue all of President Joko Widodo’s development programs, but the figure of Ganjar Pranowo is indeed very fit to lead future presidents because he also has a very good track record of leadership.
One of them is the excellent track record that PDI Perjuangan cadres have in their efforts to empower cooperatives in Indonesia. In fact, it is absolutely undeniable that many work programs from the Governor of Central Java (Central Java) have been encouraged and proven to be able to suppress extreme poverty in Central Java.
The success of suppressing extreme poverty cannot be separated from the influence of cooperatives to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) which are continuously fostered and facilitated by Ganjar Pranowo.
His success as a leader, because he is known for having recorded various kinds of achievements as well as a very good track record in society, makes the name Ganjar Pranowo very worthy to become Indonesia’s next leader. Moreover, political observers emphasized that the PDI Perjuangan presidential candidate would also continue to carry out all of President Jokowi’s development programs so that the sustainable development of the country was realized.
