Surakarta City PDI-P DPC Chairman FX Hadi Rudyatmo said that he had closed the book regarding the membership card (KTA) of Gibran Rakabuming Raka as a party cadre with the white-nosed bull logo.

"It's closed the book. The problem has closed the book," said FX Rudy after attending the Earth Memetry Culture Order event Ajidi Solo, Central Java, reported by ANTARA, Monday, November 6.

Regarding the return of the KTA, said Rudy, it was a personal awareness. Even so, his party was reluctant to force the person concerned to return the KTA.

"Until now, the KTA has not been returned. However, whether it is returned or not, please. Anyway, it is no longer a problem. Mas Gibran has been legally no longer part of the PDI-P since becoming the vice president's reading for the coalition of other parties," he said.

Asked about a letter of application from him to return the KTA given to Gibran, Rudy admitted that he no longer expected a reply.

In the letter, he only advised Gibran to return the KTA so that there was no assumption that the General Chairperson of the PDI-P DPP Megawati Soekarnoputri was standing on two legs.

"The letter is clear, to eliminate the issue so that Mrs. Mega is not considered to be playing on two legs, Mr. Jokowi is not considered to be playing on two legs. So, I only suggest that the KTA be returned. The name suggests that there is no time limit," he said.

However, continued Rudy, if Gibran does not return the KTA, it will not be a problem.

According to him, the issue of going in and out as a cadre of political parties is commonplace in politics.
