JAKARTA - Political observer Emrus Sihombing considers the Chairman of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia Puan Maharani most suitable as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan).

Because, according to Emrus, not only the best cadre of the bull party, Megawati Soekarnoputri's daughter also has a lot of experience, both in the executive and in the legislature.

 

"I frankly think, not only the best cadres of PDI Perjuangan, but the best presidential candidates of the nation and the country," Emrus said in a brief message received by VOI, Monday, May 24.

 

Said Emrus, Puan has a track record of leadership that has no doubt. Evidently, she successfully led the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) period 2014-2019.

 

"The ministry under her coordinator has no problems, the ministry of health, the ministry of social affairs, and other ministries. She's a humanist leader who can control a number of ministries," Emrus said.

 

According to Emrus, during her tenure as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Puan has worked to help the president well.

 

"If she's a president with that experience, that would be extraordinary. Executive experience, during her time as Minister of Foreign Affairs, she indirectly became as if a president, in the field of the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture, because she is an aide to the President in that field," said Emrus.

 

In addition to the executive, she continued, Puan was also successful in the legislature. The Central Java legislator was considered to have performed well during her sitting in parliament and gained the most votes in the elections.

 

"As long as a member of the House of Representatives has never been a problem. When she leads the House, all can be led and there is no turmoil, as the Speaker of the House she shows her expertise," explained Emrus.

That is, said Emrus, from experience in both the executive and the legislature, Puan has been very capable to advance as a President Candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

"I frankly say the experience was very close to perfect to be the leader of the nation going forward. If anyone doubts her leadership, then I am willing to argue," he said. 

While questioning the results of a number of survey institutions, which mention the electability and popularity of Puan Maharani is still not significant as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election, Emrus said, it's just a momentary picture that can not be used as a measure of future leaders.

 

"Puan remains a qualitative leader, Puan Maharani as an extraordinary figure. The survey is quantitative, does not explain qualitatively," said Emrus Sihombing.
