Haedar Nashir Asks Prabowo-Gibran To Think Extra Promoting The Country

YOGYAKARTA - General Chairperson of Muhammadiyah Central Executive Haedar Nashir asked the elected president and vice president to be able to bring Indonesia to become a more progressive and advanced country.

"The biggest thing about the agenda of the mandate holders is to carry out the constitution and bring Indonesia to become a truly independent, united, sovereign, just and prosperous country. This means that a progressive country is advanced," said Haedar when met at the State University of Yogyakarta (UNY), Sleman, DI Yogyakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, March 21.

Victory in political contestation, he said, is actually not an joy but is actually an obligation and a heavy burden.

"So we have to start thinking extra seriously with the highest statesmanship spirit," he said.

Haedar hopes that the holders of the mandate, both at the executive and legislative levels, will be able to appear as state-minded leaders.

They, continued Haedar, must be willing to put the interests of the nation and state above their own interests, the craft, and their own groups.

Haedar said the temptation of power usually arises in the journey of carrying out the mandate, where the interests of themselves, the kronis, their own groups are much stronger than the interests of the nation.

"So the next five years is a state-of-the-art test journey process for those who are elected both in the vice president and legislative institutions," said Haedar Nashir.

The KPU has named the pair of candidates for the president and vice president of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka as the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia for the period 2024-2029.

The determination is contained in KPU Decree Number 360 of 2024 concerning the Determination of the results of the General Election of the President and Vice President, Members of the House of Representatives, Regional Representative Council, Provincial Regional House of Representatives, and National Regional House of Representatives/City in the General Election in 2024.
