JAKARTA - United Development Party (PPP) politician, Usman M Tokkan or who is usually called Donnie Tokan, admitted that he was concerned about the current condition of the party led by Suharso Monoarfa. According to him, there must be changes in the party body so that PPP can continue to exist.

"We, PPP leaders, the younger generation, and potential cadres today are concerned about the existing situation. We hope that PPP can continue to exist, so there must be changes," said Donnie Tokan when confirmed by reporters, Sunday, July 3.

According to him, many have asked Suharso to resign from the position of general chairman because he feels he is not able to manage the party.

"Many people complain, then how to fix it. It can start from the general chairman who changes the rules of the game to change his attitude, because there are many problems related to it," he said.

Donnie hopes that so that the problem can be resolved soon, it is necessary to do tabayyun together. Tabayyun itself will be carried out with the general chairman of the party, seniors and party leaders, to cadres in the regions and branches.

"Resigning or whatever, then there is a mechanism that will work. The point is we still want PPP to exist, because this party was born from kyai and ulama, so there must be a way," he said.

Donnie Tokan's response was also based on the demonstration in front of the PPP DPP office, Jalan Diponegoro, Menteng, Central Jakarta which ended in chaos some time ago.

Previously, it was reported that a demonstration demanding Suharso Manoarfa resign from his position as General Chair of the United Development Party (PPP) in front of the PPP DPP office, Jalan Diponegoro, Menteng, Central Jakarta, last Friday, June 24.

The clashes were triggered by a mass oration from the Front Cadres to save the PPP Party, which was deemed to have insulted the chairman of the PPP Party. So that the masses in the area of the PPP building were provoked and heated up. As a result, clashes between the two mass groups were unavoidable. Police officers who were on standby at the location immediately tried to break up the clashes between the two masses.
