JAKARTA - The Head of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri harshly insinuated Akhyar Nasution's resistance, who was said to have gone berserk because he was not recommended in the Medan Pilkada. Democrats defend Akhyar, who will be nominated in the Medan Regional Head Election, to challenge Bobby Nasution.

"I think it's not worth it until it goes viral. It should be conveyed in private within the party, ”said the chairman of the DPC Democrat Medan, Burhanuddin Sitepu when contacted by VOI, Thursday, August 27.

Regarding the narrative that says Akhyar Nasution failed to lead Medan as acting mayor, the Democrats submitted an assessment to the public. Burhanuddin only emphasized that Akhyar Nasution was supported by the community.

"We see that even the community is very supportive of him, as evidenced by the growth of togetherness with the presence of volunteers to win Pak Akhyar in the Medan Pilkada. If I value it, I think (Akhyar is unable to lead, red) is fine, but the reality is that it returns to society, ”he continued.

The success or failure of Akhyar when he was deputy mayor and acting mayor of Medan was emphasized by Burhanuddin to be determined in the voting results on 9 December. All parties are asked by the Democrats to maintain a healthy democratic climate.

"Give the opportunity to two candidates who will advance. We will guard it, take care of democracy, which means it's fair. The community becomes the referee to determine who is the winner, ”said Burhanuddin.

Akhyar in the Medan Pilkada will be carried out by the Democrats and PKS. Akhyar paired with the Acting Chairman of the Medan PKS DPD, Salman Alfarisi.

Meanwhile Bobby Nasution paired up with a Gerindra cadre, Aulia Rachman. This pair is also supported by Gerindra, PAN and NasDem.

Akhyar's candidacy through the Democrats is in the spotlight. Akhyar joined the Democrats after the PDIP decided to carry out Bobby Nasution.

Meanwhile, Megawati Soekarnoputri harshly teased Akhyar who was seen as having put up a fight. The PDIP Ketum was surprised that Akhyar went berserk after he was not given a recommendation to go forward in the Medan Pilkada. Megawati emphasized the prerogative to determine candidates including the Medan Regional Head Election by bringing in Bobby Nasution-Aulia Rachman.

"It is not approved, it is not recommended to continue to rampage. What do I think about this? He said a party cadre. Yes, what are the rules for the party, I have fired. I fired. Yes, fair," said Mega.
