Sleman – Plt. Chairman of the United Development Party (PPP) Muhamad Mardiono said his party was ready to collaborate with external parties (political parties outside PPP) to support certain presidential candidates in the 2024 elections.
“PPP is currently very open in the 2024 election contestation, including in supporting the 2024 presidential and vice-presidential candidacy. With the dynamics of national politics currently running very dynamically, we are ready to cooperate with internal and external parties for common goals for progress and mutual benefit,” said Plt. . PPP Chairman Muhamad Mardiono attending the V National Leadership Meeting (Rapimnas) in Sleman Yogyakarta, Tuesday 25/4/2023.
Even though PPP is part of the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB), this will not interfere with PPP’s choices or political stance in supporting certain presidential candidates, explained M. Mardiono
In Rapimnas V PPP also ensures the preparation of all PPP cadres in facing the 2024 Election contestation, both administratively and technically, said M.Mardiono.
Furthermore, according to him, cadres who have prepared themselves to advance as members of the legislature, are expected to also prepare themselves carefully.
In addition, what is of concern to the DPP is preparing Legislative Candidates (Bacaleg) from the levels of the DPR RI, DPD, Provincial DPRD, to Regency/City DPRD so that PPP is able to recapture victory and glory, concluded Plt. Head of PPP.
In legislative contests, the DPP is also 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. Considering that the deadline for the 2024 election stages is ongoing, one of which is the registration deadline for legislative members on April 30 2023, said M. Mardiono
Meanwhile, PPP Secretary General Arwani Thomafi said
all cadres must understand that apart from preparing legislative candidates from the DPR RI to DPRD levels, we 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, although this has not been officially declared. PPP is currently part of the United Indonesia Coalition, so PPP must also take strategic steps so as not to lose momentum, said Secretary General of PPP Arwani Thomafi.
