JAKARTA – The PDI Perjuangan DPP officially announced 21 candidates for regional chief via virtual on Wednesday (2/9).
Unusually, in West Sumatra Pilgub, the PDIP actually supported Mulyadi and Ali Mukhini. Mulyadi is a politician in the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, Ali Mukhni is the regent of Padang Pariaman, who is also the chairman of the DPW PAN West Sumatra.
The absence of PDIP cadres in West Sumatra that are promoted by the party surprises PDIP President General Megawati Soekarnoputri.
“Why don’t the people of West Sumatra seem to like the PDI-P?” said the president of the PDIP DPP, Megawati Soekarnoputri, in her directive to 21 regional heads of district heads via virtual from her residence in Jalan Teuku Umar, Jakarta.
Even so, Mega said, in several cities and regencies there are already candidates for regional head that come from the PDIP.
“But finding a leader (governor) in the area is still a bit difficult,” Mega said.
Whereas from history, when Bung Karno became the first president of the Republic of Indonesia, many West Sumatra figures were nationalists and at that time collaborated with Bung Karno.
“So Bung Hatta actually came from West Sumatra,” he said.
Therefore, Mega’s message for PDIP cadres to learn is why in West Sumatra the Minang community has not fully embraced the white-nosed banteng party.
“This means that there are still areas whose people do not want to trust them as a means of struggle for the political parties called PDI-P,” Mega said.***
