MEDAN - The candidate for Mayor of Medan, Bobby Nasution, emphasized that the decision made by the PDI-P chief Megawati Sukarnoputri regarding the nomination of regional heads must be followed. Megawati's decision, according to him, must be followed up to the branch office level (PAC).
Bobby Nasution's statement was in response to the dismissal of 4 PAC PDIP Medan leaders who were known to loudly voice his rejection. The PAC leaders who were removed from their posts were known to be loyalists of Akhyar Nasution, a former PDIP cadre who crossed over to the Democrats and advanced in the Medan Pilkada.

The four PAC Medan heads who were dismissed from their posts were Medan Area, Medan Perjuangan, Medan Johor and Medan Selayang. The four positions are now filled by the executor (Plt).
"This Plt Decree is the result of a plenary meeting addressing demonstrations by several PAC officials following the issuance of recommendations for mayor candidates. Because there was a PAC Chairman who was disobedient, we were ordered to hold a plenary meeting, "said the Head of the Medan DPC Hasyim.
He reminded that the four removed PAC heads would no longer speak on behalf of the party. PDIP emphasized Hasyim ready to process the law of profiteers of party names.
