The rivalry between Puan Maharani and Ganjar Pranowo enlivened the determination of the presidential candidate in the PDIP body. This reality is raised on the cover of the October 25 to October 31, 2021, edition of Tempo magazine, which is conveyed in a cartoon illustration of a relay race between Joko Widodo, the baton holder, and Puan and Ganjar. The aim of understanding how Tempo's discourse on the nomination constellation within the PDI-P body is through the cover of Tempo Magazine, which is published in editions from October 25 to October 31, 2021. And is there an implicit value about the power that wants to be framed in the ideology Tempo interests? Methods: In understanding this, this research analyzes Roland Barthes' structural semiotics by analyzing the semiosis of markers and signs to know the denotative and connotative meanings of the cover of Tempo magazine and dismantle the myths brought by Tempo through its Semiotics. Result: From the results of the study, it was shown that during the discourse, there was a roar of competition within the PDI-P in proposing prospective candidates. The rumble is deeper in the discourse developed by Tempo because the existence of nepotism and clientelism is a myth in Barthes' semiotic concept.
