JAKARTA - The Central Executive Board (DPP) of the National Mandate Party (PAN) stated that the content of the song "PAN PAN" which airs on social media and television is intended only for cadres and not as an invitation to choose the party.

"To be remembered and can be used as an accompaniment song for healthy gymnastics activities or dancing with PAN cadres with joy. It is not at all intended to invite people to choose PAN," said PAN DPP Legal Team Yusran Isnaini at the DKI Jakarta Bawaslu office as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, October 11.

Yusran's statement was the party's answer in the trial for alleged election violations reported by the inventors, namely the South Jakarta City Bawaslu, regarding the release of a video with the song "PAN PAN" on social media and television.

He said the video that was shown was documentation of Nuzulul Quran's activities which was held in the month of Ramadan in 2023 at the DPP PAN Jakarta Office.

"PAN only broadcasts documentation of the National Mandate Party's activities which are packaged in the form of songs," he said.

Yusran also said that the PAN song does not include campaign materials as stipulated in KPU Regulation (PKPU) No. 15 of 2023 articles 33 and is not included in the election campaign props in public places as stipulated in article 34.

"PAN only distributes the song to PAN cadres through YouTube social media 'PAN TV' and TikTok 'PAN FRIENDs' as well as broadcasts on television media Trans 7," he said.

Based on these reasons, the PAN DPP asked the DKI Jakarta Bawaslu to make several decisions, one of which stated that the reported party legally and convincingly did not violate the election.

Meanwhile, the South Jakarta City awastilu as the inventor presented two witnesses who were Bawaslu South Jakarta staff.

The two of them testified about the alleged violation committed by the party.

During the trial, the evidence presented by the inventors was also played, namely a video played on TikTok "PAN FRIENDs" and on YouTube "PAN TV".

The chairman of the Examining Council, Benny Sabdo, stated that the trial will continue on Thursday (12/10) with the agenda of examining the reported witnesses.
