JAKARTA - The Mayor of Medan, who is also the son-in-law of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), Bobby Nasution, only answered briefly when he was asked his status as a cadre of the Golkar Party.

This moment occurred when he was present at the Golkar Party DPP Office to attend the briefing of regional head candidates and candidates for deputy regional head at the Golkar Party DPP Office, Slipi, West Jakarta, on Saturday, April 6, 2024.

"Earlier, said Pak Airlangga Hartarto, all those above (The Golkar Party DPP office, ed.) were cadres. Does that mean they have become Golkar cadres or what?" asked the reporter to Bobby.

"God willing," answered Bobby briefly.

Even so, Bobby replied that he did not yet have the membership card (KTA) of the party bearing the banyan symbol. He also said that he had not officially worn a yellow jacket like a Golkar Party cadre in general.

Meanwhile, the General Chair of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto, said that the figures who were present at the briefing were cadres. However, he did not want to talk about Bobby's announcement that he had now changed parties.

"Later on, we will give or decide to become cadres," said Airlangga at the same location.

For information, Bobby was previously a PDI-P cadre (PDIP). He even ran as mayor through the party bearing the bull symbol.

However, recently he was declared ineligible as a PDIP cadre. You see, he violated the code of ethics regarding the support for the 2024 presidential election because he openly declared the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka pair.
