JAKARTA - General Chairperson of the Betawi Deliberative Body (Bamus) Riano P. Ahmad has officially joined as a cadre of the NasDem Party. Riano announced that he was close to NasDem at the NasDem State Defense Academy (ABN) Office, Saturday, February 18. "Bismillah, today I determine my political stance to join the NasDem Party to coincide with the momentum of Isra Mikraj. Hopefully this step will be approved by Allah SWT," said Riano in a written statement, Sunday, February 19, was confiscated by Antara.

Riano was previously the former Deputy Chairperson of the DKI Jakarta PPP DPW who decided to leave the party together with the son of the late Abraham Lunggana alias Haji Lulung, Guruh Tirta Lunggana.

He conveyed one of the reasons he was interested in joining was because of the spirit of change carried out by NasDem. The party led by Surya Paloh is known to have established his support for Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate in 2024. Riano assessed that so far NasDem has consistently overseen the idea of a movement to change Indonesia's restoration. This, he continued, is in line with the social needs of the people of DKI Jakarta who were divided after the 2017 Pilkada due to different political choices. According to him, this should not happen again in the 2024 election. He views that differences in political views should no longer damage the brotherhood of fellow nation's children.

"So, let our passion for brotherhood and diversity be restored together and God willing, the 2024 election will be the gateway to recovery," he said. Rizo thanked Surya Paloh and the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta NasDem DPW Nurcahyo Anggorojati alias Yoyo because he and the son of former DKI Jakarta DPRD member Abraham Lunggana or Haji Lulung, Guruh Tirta Lunggana, had been accepted as the big family of the NasDem Party. "Yes, God willing, I (yaleg) in the Central Jakarta 1 electoral district," he said.
