Bobby Nasution Joins Gerindra, Muzani: This Is What We Expect

JAKARTA - Secretary General of the Gerindra Party Ahmad Muzani said that the joining of the Mayor of Medan, Bobby Nasution to the party created by Prabowo Subianto was the hope that had been awaited so far. It is known that President Joko Widodo's son-in-law officially received KTA Gerindra on Monday, May 20. The daily chairman of Gerindra, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, also met Bobby last night. "What was conveyed about the entry of Bobby Nasution as a Gerindra cadre, of course this is the news we have been waiting for, the news that we have been waiting for," said Muzani at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, May 22.

With Bobby's entry as a Gerindra cadre and registering as a candidate for governor in North Sumatra, said Muzani, there will be no psychological obstacles to supporting Kahiyang Ayu's husband.

"This means that he is open to us to advance to become a candidate for governor in North Sumatra from the Gerindra Party," said Muzani. "Because Mas Bobby has entered as part of the Gerindra Party's extended family," he continued. Muzani admitted that the meeting between Dasco and Bobby last night was to follow up on his candidacy as governor in the 2024 North Sumatra gubernatorial election.

"And what Mr. Dasco did last night was part of the process," explained Muzani.

It is known that Bobby Nasution finally anchored to the Gerindra Party after being expelled by PDIP after supporting Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka in the 2024 presidential election.

Not Golkar, the Mayor of Medan officially became a cadre of the Gerindra Party starting Monday, May 20, yesterday.

"Alhamdulillah, by saying bismillahhirrahmanirrahim, I declare myself to be a Gerindra cadre as a cadre. Alhamdulillah, the chairman of the North Sumatra Gerindra Party DPD (Gus Irawan Pasaribu) was immediately accepted," Bobby said while giving a speech in the process of handing over the Gerindra cadre membership card (KTA) at the Gerindra DPD, Medan City, Monday, May 20.
