Even without KIBhe said, Ganjar remains a potential candidate that will be brought forward by PAN and PPP because he was included in their presidential candidate’s radar.
“Without KIB, for example, Ganjar could potentially be carried by PPP and PAN because Ganjar is on their radar,” Adi told reporters. Time, Monday 17 October 2022.
According to Adi, the name Ganjar will bring out the internal dynamics of KIB. Because, he said, the Golkar party still insisted on taking the general president, Airlangga Hartarto, as a presidential candidate.
“The examination is obviously about the presidential and vice presidential candidates they will bring. PAN and PPP, including Ganjar’s name, will certainly dynamize the composition of the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the KIB,” he said.
