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.

In addition to getting the mandate, Mohan is also said to be given the task of communicating with other parties so that they can form a coalition to support him as a candidate for Mayor of Mataram.

"Earlier I asked Pak Mohan to look for political parties in just two days. This includes handing over the prospective deputy mayor," said Rachmat Hidayat.

Meanwhile, the candidate for mayor of Mataram, Mohan Roliskana, admitted that he was grateful for the support from the PDI-P. Therefore, he is committed to fighting wholeheartedly to complete the development effort in the second period.

"On behalf of myself, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for the nomination from the PDIP for my performance assessment so far. God willing, I will make sure I am committed to continuing the vision and direction of the development of Mataram City even better in the second period," said Mohan.

Regarding the order of the Chairman of the DPD PDI Perjuangan NTB to hand over candidates for deputy mayor to political parties in the Mataram Pilkada in two days. Mohan ensures that it has been prepared.

"I make sure that I will carry out the duties of the chairman of the PDIP NTB DPD properly," he said.
