The Secretary of the North Sumatra Gerindra Party DPD, who is also the Head of the North Sumatra Governor Candidate Training Team, Sugiat Santoso, confirmed that his party was eyeing Teguh Santosa as a companion figure for Bobby Nasution in the 2024 North Sumatra gubernatorial election.

Not without reason, Sugiat assessed that Teguh Santosa has a broad network that is important for Bobby Nasution in leading North Sumatra in the next five years.

"Bang Teguh Santosa is on our radar as one of the Bacawagub figures who accompanies Bobby Nasution. He has a broad network, not only national but a network to the international community. This means that Bobby needs a companion who has a strong network," said Sugiat Santoso to reporters after gathering and talking with Teguh Santosa and Secretary of the DPP Democratic Party Abdullah Rasyid, in Medan, Friday (28/6/2024) night.

Sugiat said again, Teguh Santosa was no doubt about building a positive image.

"This means that the personal strength of Bang Teguh Santosa is very positive to complete the electoral Bobby Nasution and is believed to be acceptable to all parties," he added.

However, said Sugiat, his party must wait for the Gerindra Party's DPP decision regarding a figure who will really be paired with North Sumatra Governor Bobby Nasution's Candidate.

"But we still have to return the final decision to the DPP. Surely the DPP will determine the best of the good to accompany Bobby Nasution in the North Sumatra Pilkada," he concluded.

It is known that Teguh Santosa has received the blessing and support of the Democratic Party and the National Mandate Party (PAN) to accompany Bobby Nasution in the North Sumatra Pilkada.

Even before, the grassroots of the Democratic Party and the National Mandate Party (PAN) wanted Teguh Santosa, the former Deputy Chancellor of Bung Karno University (UBK) to become a candidate for Deputy Governor of North Sumatra to be supported by the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) party.

Kiprah Teguh on the national and international stage so far has not escaped the observations of the people of North Sumatra. Digital platforms make his work easily known by his friends and relatives in his hometown. Even though he is active in Jakarta, his friendship network in North Sumatra is quite wide," said Secretary of the DPP Democratic Party Abdullah Rasyid.

The combination of these two figures will complement and strengthen each other. Bobby and Teguh are figures who can work together to realize the development vision of North Sumatra," said Rasyid again.

Rasyid also hopes that the Golkar Party, generally the Advanced Indonesia Coalition party, is also willing to provide support to Teguh.

"Teguh as a press practitioner, the manager of the national media has good relations with many top political figures in Indonesia, including the elite in the Golkar Party today, especially General Chair Airlangga Hartarto. We believe that at a time when the spirit of togetherness of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition will arrive at one common name for the figure of the deputy governor of North Sumatra. Looking at his background and work so far, Teguh Santosa's opportunity is very wide open. He is a visionary figure that can be accepted by all circles, "concluded Abdullah Rasyid.
