Bobby Nasution Listens To The Tips For Forward Pilkada From Golkar Chairman Airlangga Hartarto

JAKARTA - The Mayor of Medan, Bobby Nasution, said he received a number of directions from the General Chair of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto, to run in the 2024 Pilkada.

This was conveyed by President Jokowi's son-in-law after he followed the briefing of regional head candidates and deputy regional head candidates at the Golkar Party DPP Office, Slipi, West Jakarta, on Saturday, April 6, 2024.

He said, there is a lot that must be prepared to participate in democratic parties at the regional level.

"What is certain is that, earlier what was conveyed by the General Chairperson of Golkar, Pak Airlangga Hartarto, was the tips. What needs to be prepared, that's what we prepared today," Bobby told reporters.

When asked about the forward ticket in the North Sumatra gubernatorial election (Pilgub), Bobby did not want to talk much. The problem is, he was not the only one who was asked to attend the briefing.

Bobby said he was summoned along with the former Deputy Governor of North Sumatra, Musa Rajekshah or Ijeck.

"I feel from North Sumatra, for cagubs from North Sumatra, it's not just me alone," he said.

Meanwhile, when asked about him joining the Golkar Party, Bobby was also economical. He only admitted that he had not received a membership card (KTA).

"God willing (already a cadre of the Golkar Party, ed.)," he said.

For information, Bobby was previously a PDI-P cadre (PDIP). He even ran as mayor through the party bearing the bull symbol.

However, recently he was declared ineligible as a PDIP cadre. This is because he violated the code of ethics regarding the support for the 2024 presidential election because he openly declared the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka pair.
