Governor of Central Java Pranow Award sanctioned by the Council of Honor PDIP because it is believed to have violated the indications relating to political communication.
PDIP DPP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto stated that the instructions in question were contained in letter no. 4503 / internal / dpp-10/2022 issued by the central executive of the PDIP on 7 October.
The letter was signed by the presidents of the PDIP Megawati Soekarnoputri and Hasto.
“This letter is very clear and cannot be interpreted otherwise, so Pak Ganjar is believed to have violated the instructions,” Hasto said at the PDIP DPP office, Central Jakarta, on Monday (24/10).
Meanwhile, the honorary head of the PDIP DPP, Komarudin Watubun, said that Ganjar had not violated any internal rules, but his political communication had given the public multiple interpretations.
“So that justice is served to all members. We communicate that we will impose a verbal warning on Pak Ganjar Pranowo as a cadre,” he said.
“Why? Since he is not a new cadre, including the elderly, it was the first time he entered Papua to do regeneration there, so he needs to be more disciplined,” he added.
Earlier, Ganjar Pranowo said he was ready to run for president on October 18. Ganjar explained that all party members must be ready if they want to become president.
However, a few days later Ganjar changed his statement. He said the decision on the presidential candidate was the full authority of PDIP general president Megawati Soekarnoputri.
In the aftermath of his statement, PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristianto said he would summon Ganjar Pranowo and FX Rudi for clarification.
