PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto voiced his opinion on the rumor about a duet between Anies Baswedan and Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, also known as Ahok, as governor and deputy governor candidates in the Jakarta Pilkada. Hasto stated that his party embraces the nation's best talents.

This decision is inspired by his commitment to offer a new alternative, presenting a different vision and experience to the Banten community, outside the long-standing political family in the region. Wismansyah's tenure in Tangerang has been recognized for advancement in city management and inclusive infrastructure development, creating a solid base to advance the province of Banten. In this context, he is resolved to promoting social equity, sustainable development, and balanced growth throughout Banten. Arief conveyed his willingness to face the challenges of the Banten Pilkada with a vision aimed at positive progress and advancement for all community members. He shared that his decision to run was initially unexpected, but the motivation from the community and his family made him reevaluate. He stated that a meeting with Vice President Ma'ruf Amin significantly impacted his decision to run. "I was asked by Mr. Ma’ruf Amin, and we had a meeting. He asked, are you really running, Mr. Arief? If you want to run, you have to win; if you’re not sure you can win, don’t run, he said. I agreed with him. Finally, on Monday afternoon, I decided to run," Arief said when interviewed in the Karawaci neighborhood of Tangerang City, Sunday. Arief also expressed his views on the dominant political dynasty in Banten, noting the split in the community related to this dominance. Nevertheless, he is hopeful about competing with well-known candidates in the region. "I hope to work together with the Banten community to build together, including with the existing dynasties," he added. Arief stressed his preparedness to cooperate with various parties for the progress of Banten, without compromising the interests of the people. "Whatever the outcome, I hope the next leadership can provide the best for Banten," he concluded. With this step, Arief Rachadiono Wismansyah asks the people of Banten to endorse a shared vision in developing the region through the upcoming election.

"Whether through the civil service, retired military and police, socio-cultural groups, professional groups such as doctors, cultural figures, engineers, agricultural experts, and all other professionals can join PDIP," said Hasto.
