JAKARTA - Politician Ruhut Sitompul admits that he is saddened by the state of the Democratic Party, the party that made its name before moving to the PDI-P (PDIP).

This was conveyed by Ruhut in response to a video regarding the internal conflict of the Riau Democratic Party which led to the resignation of Asri Auzar as the former chairman of the Riau Democratic Party DPD.

"Ooooooo what's wrong with the Democratic Party," Ruhut wrote on his Twitter account, @ruhutsitompul.

In the 2 minute 20 second video, Asri Auzar also mentions the leadership of Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono alias AHY as the General Chair of the Democratic Party.

While the narration in the video is written, "Feels Didzolimi Asri Auzar Cs Bajar Party Attributes and Says Out."

According to Ruhut, the conditions were much different when he was in the internal Democratic Party. He claimed that when he was still a cadre, the party with the symbol of mercy developed and progressed.

It even reaped positive results in the Legislative Election (Pileg) so that many of its cadres walked into the Senayan Parliament Complex.

"The party I grew up with from 5th in the Legislative Election before I entered became 1st in the Legislative Election after I was in the PD," Ruhut claimed.

But now, responding to the video, Ruhut said he was sad to know what had happened to his former party.

"I leave now sad to see it. Yes, it's independent," he said.
