JAKARTA - The National Mandate Party (PAN) held a Bimtek and the Pilkada National Coordination Meeting today by inviting all members of the legislature and regional head candidates. This event aims to consolidate and synergize all existing political forces in winning the 2024 Pilkada later.

Chairman of the DPP PAN Saleh Partaonan Daulay, revealed that there was something interesting at the National Coordination Meeting this time. Not only Pilkada, he said, the cadres were also busy talking about ministerial candidates from PAN. One of them is encouraging the name of the Deputy Chairperson of PAN who is also the Deputy Chair of the MPR, Yandri Susanto.

"It is very natural that in this National Coordination Meeting, PAN cadres from various regions encouraged Mas Yandri to become one of the ministers of PAN," said Saleh, Thursday, May 9.

Personally, Saleh admitted that he had known Yandri for decades. Where both of them are active in youth organizations.

"I am the General Chairperson of Muhammadiyah Youth and Mas Yandri, General Chairperson of BM PAN. I know that many works of Yandri are quite successful, not only in PAN but also outside the party. He is hard-working, tenuous, tough, never give up, friendly, friendly, and has a fairly wide network," he said.

Meanwhile, in PAN itself, Saleh continued, Yandri was often given the mandate to carry out important and strategic tasks. Like during the election, Yandri was assigned as chairman of the KPPN (national election winning committee).

"He is also the commander of Charlie (the removal) at TKN Prabowo-Gibran. In addition, he is always actively involved in every party agenda. No wonder he knows all PAN administrators in Indonesia," said Saleh.

According to him, Yandri is a politician who easily knows cadres and has strong memories. "Not only his name, the origin of his area and village is remembered. It's natural that all administrators in the regions are happy with Mas Yandri," he said.

"That's the same in Parliament. Mas Yandri was once the leader of the special committee, the secretary of the faction, the chairman of Commission 8, and even now the deputy chairman of the MPR RI. From an experience perspective, it is very good and mature," continued Saleh.

Therefore, Saleh added, all cadres believe that Yandri will be able to make achievements in the cabinet. In terms of his experience, traces and political career, Yandri is believed to be able to help Prabowo-Gibran's duties a lot.

"It turns out that cadres from the regions have great attention and hope. They want Prabowo to succeed with the support of one of his best cadres, namely Mas Yandri. Of course, everything will be returned to Prabowo as president-elect," he concluded.
