JAKARTA - Chairman of the DPP Perindo Party for Organization and Cadreization Yusuf Lakaseng sees the need for a massive movement to realize people's welfare, especially at this time the community needs a lot of jobs after the COVID-19 pandemic.

"With all the preparations that have been fulfilled, the Perindo Party invites community leaders from various circles to participate in fighting for the people's welfare. Welfare is not just an issue, but a massive movement," Yusuf said in a written statement quoted by Antara, Monday, June 6.

This was said by Yusuf after being officially inaugurated by the General Chairperson of the Perindo Party DPP, Hary Tanoesoedibjo, as the Chair of the Perindo Party's DPP for Organization and Cadreization.

The demographic bonus, he said, is closely related to the availability of job opportunities, which is a real problem in the community.

He explained that since the last few months Perindo has been undergoing a program to strengthen micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by distributing capital and carts.

"Welfare of the people is not just a jargon, but concrete work before coming to power. It must be even more massive when the people are trusted to take care of power," he said.

In addition, he continued, Perindo has fulfilled all the requirements as a political party to compete in the 2024 General Election. Therefore, the party is ready to register with the General Elections Commission (KPU) as a participant in the 2024 General Election on the first day.

The stages of the 2024 General Election begin on June 14, 2022, then the registration stage for political parties as participants in the 2024 General Election will take place from August 1 to 7, 2022.

Yusuf believes that the strength and potential of the Perindo Party is better than when he participated in the 2019 election. Therefore, his party targets to win 7 percent of the vote in the 2024 election so that it can pass the parliamentary threshold of 4 percent.
