JAKARTA - Through a video uploaded to Amien Rais' Instagram account, the Ummat Party announced that it would launch their logo.

The launch is planned to take place on Tuesday, November 10 and coincide with the arrival of the Grand Imam of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Rizieq Shihab, who has just returned from Saudi Arabia.

According to Amien Rais loyalist, Agung Mozin, the Ummat Party deliberately took this momentum. This is because the logo, which is still being kept secret, will have a similar meaning to what Rizieq Shihab is fighting for.

"We present this logo in order to welcome the arrival of Habib Rizieq Shihab. Because of our logo, our logo design, the color of our logo we deliberately present it tomorrow to welcome Habib Rizieq Shihab because our logo is the same and congruent with what he was fighting for," said Agung. when contacted by VOI, Monday, December 9.

Even so, he denied that Rizieq would later participate in Amien Rais' party. Agung assessed that it would not be possible for Rizieq Shihab to participate.

"He will not possibly participate so he will not enter," he said.

Regarding the logo, although he did not want to elaborate further, Agung gave a little leak. He said that the Ummat Party logo would be different from most Islamic parties in Indonesia. If most Islamic parties in Indonesia are dominated by green, this party is not.

"It's actually not (green, red). Instead, we design differently from the colors in general and indeed from that design, that's what Habib Rizieq Shihab's passion and determination to struggle with. That's why deliberately, the logo is his welcome gift," he said.

Apart from being covered with the party logo, Agung is also reluctant to tell the names of the figures who have joined the party. If according to the plan drawn up, he said, the party structural announcement would be carried out in December.

Even so, now many figures have joined. Including those who are closely related to Rizieq Shihab.

"Habib Rizieq Shihab's people also participated in the Ummah Party," he said.

Not only that, he also claimed that a number of cadres of the National Mandate Party (PAN) had turned their backs to support their party. Agung said, PAN cadres who had moved to the Ummat Party mostly had the same reason, namely that they felt they did not fit the current party path.

"There are so many (who move, red). They arrive at the carriages. On average, the reasons are the same," he concluded.
