TANGERANG - Chairman of the DPC of the Tangerang City United Development Party (PPP), Ahmad Riyanto, spoke about the former legislative candidate for PPP Tangerang City 2024 with the initials SA who is suspected of being involved in a drug case.

He clarified that the status of SA was just a legislative party, not an active cadre from the Tangerang City PPP. He did not expect that SA had registered as a legislative candidate through PPP in the Legislative Election (Pileg) last February.

Antika is not a cadre, not an administrator. But he is only a legislative candidate that we provide a membership card, because the requirement to become a legislative candidate is to have a membership card, so he is not an administrator and not a PPP cadre. But he is only a member, as a legislative candidate," Riyanto said when confirmed, Tuesday, July 9.

Therefore, he admitted that he was disappointed because the case that happened to SA had made his party dragged along. Even though after the legislative election, SA was no longer a PPP cadre.

"I am quite disappointed why I brought PPP, because he has finished from PPP. He only entered during the dismissal," he said.

That way, his party will revoke the PPP Membership Card (KTA) owned by SA, as a form of sanctions for cases experienced by SA related to narcotics abuse.

"We will revoke the KTA concerned," he said.

However, Riyanto considered that SA was a good figure within the party. So he did not expect that SA could be caught in the case.

"When it was time for registration as a legislative candidate, there was a medical check-up (MCU) and a drug test, but in that requirement he passed, negative," he said.

For information, the Gambir Police managed to arrest the former Tangerang City PPP candidate with the initials SA. SA was arrested on suspicion of drug abuse of the type of inex or ecstasy.

SA, also known as a celebrity, was caught in an apartment in the Taman Rasuna Said area, South Jakarta, on Sunday, July 7.
