        "content": "<p>PDI Perjuangan Central Executive Board Chair Ganjar Pranowo has\nresponded to Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Chairman Kaesang\nPangarep\u2019s announcement that he will stand as a legislative candidate in\nthe 2029 Legislative Election. Ganjar stated that every citizen is\nentitled to equal rights in the general election. \u201cEvery citizen has the\nright to equal opportunity in government. That is guaranteed by the 1945\nConstitution. Whoever it is,\u201d Ganjar told reporters on Sunday\n(26\/7\/2026). Ganjar said there are constitutional rights regulated for\ncitizens by law. He considered it natural for Kaesang to choose the\nCentral Java V electoral district because Solo is his hometown. \u201cAs a\ncitizen, whoever they are, they have the same constitutional right to\nrun from any electoral district in accordance with the provisions of the\nlaw. Moreover, he is originally from Solo, so choosing the Central Java\nV electoral district is certainly a political right that should be\nrespected,\u201d he said. The former Governor of Central Java then spoke\nabout democratic countries. He believes the people will judge based on\ntrack records and tangible work. \u201cFor PDI Perjuangan, this is not about\nwho faces whom, but about how the people are given the opportunity to\ndetermine their choice freely and democratically. We respect every\nelection participant and remain confident that closeness to the people,\ntrack record, and tangible work will be the main considerations for the\npublic in granting their mandate,\u201d he said. Previously, Kaesang Pangarep\nannounced he would run as a legislative candidate in the 2029\nLegislative Election. He is targeting victory in the 2029 election. \u201cI\nask for your support to remain solid so we can win the election in\n2029,\u201d Kaesang explained. \u201cThe message I conveyed earlier was not as\nChairman. It was my message as a prospective legislative candidate for\nthe Republic of Indonesia from the Central Java V electoral district,\u201d\nhe continued.<\/p>",
