The PDI-P Central Executive Board (DPP) appointed Mohan Roliskana as a candidate for mayor of Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) in the 2024 regional head election (Pilkada).
The appointment of Mohan to fight in a political contestation in the capital city of NTB Province was marked by the submission of a letter of assignment from the PDIP DPP by the chairman of the PDIP NTB DPD, Rachmat Hidayat at the PDIP DPD Office in Mataram, Thursday 18 July.
"So, the submission of this letter of assignment is a form of PDIP NTB's commitment to elect a leader and not a tracksman. Moreover, in Mataram City as the capital of NTB province," said Rachmat, confiscated by Antara.
This elected member of the DPR for the NTB II electoral district of Lombok Island admitted that there were several considerations that his party gave Mohan a letter of assignment to become a candidate for mayor of Mataram. One of them is because he has a track record that understands Mataram City.
In addition, Rachmat also wants to prove his commitment when party leaders in NTB are gathered at the house of the Sasak Customary Council, Lalu Azhar, some time ago to support Mohan Roliskana.
"In the forum, when the chairman of the political party was gathered, I spoke that my support was to nominate Mr Mohan. So today, I prove my statement by providing support to him to be nominated in the 2024 Pilkada. Especially if he becomes a candidate for governor," he said.
Furthermore, Rachmat said that because Mohan Roliskana chose to remain a candidate for mayor for the second term, of course, his party would still support his candidacy.
"God willing, in the second period, I believe Mr Mohan will be able to continue working to continue what is lacking and fix it. Here, I provide support for his candidacy," said Rachmat.
