Daily Chairperson Of Gerindra DPP Sufmi Dasco Ahmad/DOK: Nailin In Saroh-VOI

JAKARTA - The daily chairman of the Gerindra DPP, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, confirmed that the joining of Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution to his party would not interfere with the relationship between Gerindra and PDIP.

According to him, Gerindra and PDIP communication will still be well established even though the former cadre has now chosen to join the party chaired by Prabowo Subianto.

"I don't think it will interfere with the relationship between the two parties (Gerindra and PDIP)," Dasco told reporters, Tuesday, May 21.

Dasco also believes that PDIP will not bother with Bobby's decision to now choose to become a cadre of the Gerindra Party. Remember, PDIP dismissed Bobby due to the dynamics of the 2024 presidential election.

"The name politics is dynamic, and I think that in the political dynamics between political parties, they will understand each other about the process," said the Deputy Speaker of the DPR.

Including, regarding Bobby's decision to move closer to Gerindra because he intends to run in the 2024 North Sumatra Governor Election (Pilgub).

"Especially during the time of the Pilkada," concluded Dasco.

Previously, PDIP politician Andreas Hugo Pareira gave a striking response when responding to the news that the Mayor of Medan, Bobby Nasution joined the Gerindra Party.

Andreas emphasized that he did not want to know anything about President Joko Widodo's son-in-law who is also a former cadre of the bull party.

Andreas initially mentioned that Bobby's joining Gerindra was not PDIP's business.

"Ah, that's business, their business. We don't interfere with that," Andreas said in a separate interview.

"I don't interfere with that, that's his business. We've forgotten that too," he continued.

Regarding Bobby's candidacy in the North Sumatra Pilkada, Andreas emphasized that PDIP already has a candidate. He considered that there was no more PDIP's business with Bobby.

"No, there is no business with Bobby, we have our own candidates. There are some who are in the process, some who participate in the search process, including the incumbent governor, but this will be included in the screening process at the DPP, which has just been decided," he said.

Andreas then emphasized that he and PDIP don't want to know about Bobby's business. Both running again as mayor and cagub of North Sumatra. According to him, PDIP cadres have forgotten Bobby.

"We forgot, we forgot," he joked.
