Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Before the appointment of Mahfud MD, a number of names were widely mentioned as being likely to accompany Ganjar Pranowo as a prospective vice presidential candidate (bacawapres) in the presidential and vice presidential elections during the 2024 elections. One of them is Sandiaga Uno.
The name of the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy and Chairman of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) of the United Development Party (PPP) Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno was pushed forward by the PPP.
However, at the end of the road, PDIP as the main supporter of Ganjar Pranowo as presidential candidate finally chose Mahfud MD as his vice presidential candidate. Sandiaga also admitted that he accepted the decision even though he admitted that his heart was cut.
“GMPI has an abbreviation, this will be a quote I learned from Gus Romy (Muhamad Romahurmuziy). GMPI Ganjar Mahfud Indonesia’s Choice. Even though my heart is cut. That will be a quote from Gus Romy,” said Sandi at the GMPI PPP event as written on Friday ( 10/20/2023).
Sandiaga’s statement was then greeted with laughter from the GMPI PPP participants, including the PPP DPP administrators. Sandiaga emphasized that he accepted the decision even though his heart was cut.
“The heart is cut but the face must smile. God willing, the fortune will not go anywhere according to the efforts,” said Sandiaga.
Not being Ganjar’s vice presidential candidate, Sandiaga is now appointed as a member of the Expert Council on the Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD National Winning Team (TPN).
