Perindo's Voice In DKI Is Predicted To Be Awakening By Michael Sianipar's Arrival

JAKARTA - Young politician Michael Victor Sianipar officially stated that he joined the Perindo Party in a declaration at the Perindo DPP office in Menteng, Central Jakarta.

Michael's joining can share the positive impact on Perindo's vote acquisition in the 2024 General Election. Michel's track record that excels at PSI will likely be even more shiny if he is in Perindo.

"I saw that when Michael Sianipar joined Perindo, he would fight desperately to give Perindo a lot of seats," said political observer Ujang Komarudin, Wednesday, January 25, quoted.

Based on the results of the 2024 General Election, PSI DKI under Michael managed to obtain 8 DPRD seats. This number is beyond expectations considering PSI was a new party that emerged at that time.

Ujang said Michael was not a young politician who could be underestimated. Because, he said, Michael was able to raise PSI DKI in a short time.

Related to this, Ujang also suggested that Ketum Perindo Hary Tanoesoedibjo give full support to Michael so that he can carry out all his strategies.

Political observer Jeru Massie also assessed that Michael's presence would increase Perindo's strength, especially in DKI Jakarta. Because, he said, Michael had a mass base in DKI.

"This is an advantage for Perindo. It could be that PSI's voice in Jakarta collapsed and his position was replaced by Perindo," said Jery.

"I think Michael could run as a legislative candidate in Jakarta he would qualify and sit in the DPRD because he already has permanent voters," he added.

Meanwhile, Maksimus political observers said Michael's performance while at PSI was satisfactory. So, almost surely Michael will also do the same thing in Perindo, even more.

"There is nothing that is impossible, so even Michael's presence can shift PSI's voice to Perindo," said Maksimus.

Michael, who was previously the chairman of the PSI DPW in the province of Jakarta, decided to join the party created by Hary Tanoesoedibjo because he believed that Perindo's party would provide broad space for young politicians like him.

In Perindo, Michael was entrusted with being the Chair of the DPP for Creative Economy and Digital. Michael was also assigned to attract young politicians to bring relevant issues to the younger generation in Indonesian politics.

Referring to the results of a recent survey from the Indonesian Survey Institute, released on January 22 yesterday, Perindo was ranked seventh largest party with 4.8 percent.

Michael is optimistic that Perindo's upward trend in various trusted survey institutions will make Perindo the central board party in parliament later.
