Mardiono Optimistic PPP NTB Will Break Into Top Two in 2029 Election

The Chairman of the United Development Party (PPP), Muhamad Mardiono, inaugurated the ranks of the Regional Leadership Council (DPW) and Branch Leadership Council (DPC) of the PPP across West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) province. The event, themed “Weaving Service: Towards the Glory of PPP NTB”, took place in Mataram, NTB, on Saturday, 4 July 202lar.

According to Mardiono, this consolidation serves as a vital momentum to strengthen the party’s structure while preparing strategic steps for upcoming political agendas, particularly the verification of political party participants for the 2029 General Election.

“Alhamdulillah, the entire series of events has been carried out well. I express my deepest appreciation to all PPP cadres in NTB who continue to demonstrate a spirit of togetherness and commitment to growing the party,” said Mardiono.

Mardiono explained that the PPP NTB Regional Leadership Council is one of the regions moving rapidly following the National Congress (Muktamar) by organising Regional Consultative Meetings (Muswil), followed by Branch Consultative Meetings (Muscab) in all regencies and cities.

Furthermore, consolidation will continue down to the sub-district level through Sub-branch Consultative Meetings (Musancab) as part of the organisational strengthening at the grassroots level.

Mardiono assessed that strengthening the structure is the primary foundation for increasing the electability and vote share of the PPP in the upcoming election.

“We see that there are still votes that are scattered and not yet optimal. This serves as material for evaluation so that in the future, we can achieve an even distribution of votes,” said Mardiono.

Facing the 2029 General Election, Mardiono is optimistic that PPP NTB can improve its position on the regional political map. Currently, the PPP is among the top four, and Mardiono hopes all cadres will work harder to climb the rankings, even competing for a top-two position.

“If we can rise to first or second place, that would be very good. At the very least, we must move up one level. Most importantly, all constituencies must experience an increase in votes. God willing, constituencies that currently do not hold seats can be won by us in the future,” he said.
