REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Chairman of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) faction of the DPR Utut Adianto told how the atmosphere of the revolution was in his party ahead of the 2024 general election (Election). He also again alluded to the fact that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) always attends events held by the party emblazoned with the bull's head.

Starting from the commemoration of the 50th anniversary (Anniversary) of PDIP in early January 2023, the anniversary of Bung Karno, to the national work meetings (rakernas). However, Jokowi did not attend PDIP's 51st Anniversary commemoration on January 10, 2024.

In addition, PDIP also began to be abandoned by a number of its cadres who already have a track record in the Indonesian political scene. Starting from Budiman Sudjatmiko to the latest is Maruarar Sirait who claims to want to follow in Jokowi's footsteps.

“Yesterday also just celebrated the Anniversary, all the levels have been directed, every level has stages and twists, and the curve is getting sharper here,” Utut said at Nusantara II Building, Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday (16/1/2024).

“Because this is Formula 1 racing, the last laps make people win or not. It was firmness of heart and the finesse of playing the strategy,” he added.

The PDIP faction of the DPR itself directly held a consolidated meeting on the first day of the III Trial Period of the 2023-2024 Parliamentary Year. The forum directed that all board members of his party work hard and not be easily provoked by slander.

Regarding the presidential election (presidential election) 2024, Utat was asked about the public's view that the PDIP was not total in support of Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD. But he firmly denied it and made sure his party solidly won the number 3 candidate pair.

“We are the language of Chairman Megawati, the party officer. Since it was declared on Friday, April 21 last year, it has been automatic, because we are in a led democracy, led by Mega,” said the Deputy Chairman of Commission I of the Parliament.
