Puan Maharani Is Considered Suitable To Be President, This Is The Reason

JAKARTA - The Chairperson of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, is deemed appropriate to be a presidential candidate in 2024. The daughter of the Chairperson of the PDIP Megawati is said to have managerial and leadership skills that are suitable to be the future President of Indonesia.

"So she (Puan Maharani, ed) has both," said Emrus Sihombing, a political communication expert from Pelita Harapan University, Sunday, November 21. Apart from being the biological child of the Proclaimer of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno, a president who unifies the nation and who expresses the values of Pancasila, Puan also has a lot of experience and success. Starting from members of the DPR, the Chair of the faction in the DPR to become a minister, and the current Chair of the DPR RI.

"When she became a minister, was there a problem in the ministry she led? Now, the chairman of our DPR, is there a problem? She leads well, she has leadership, she has managerial skills," Emrus explained.

However, Emrus regretted the results of survey institutions which only highlighted the electability and popularity side. No, real work and achievements.

"I frankly say, including those who criticize the survey institutions. What is highlighted are electability and popularity. So, it does not produce quality leaders. Electability and popularity are only on the surface," concluded Emrus.
