Makassar Mayor Danny Pomanto Resigns From NasDem

Makassar Mayor Mohammad Ramdhan Pomanto (Danny Pomanto) decided to resign from the party created by Surya Paloh on the grounds of family and politics.

"I resigned with high respect and manners towards NasDem," said Danny Pomanto, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, July 3.

Danny explained that he had two important reasons regarding his setback. First, because of family and second reasons is political reasons.

The reason for the family in question, Danny said, is because his eldest son, Aura Aulia Imandara, is now in the near future so that it is considered not optimal to become a legislative candidate or legislative candidate in the 2024 General Election.

Apart from his eldest son, his wife Indira Yusuf Ismail is also sick.

Therefore, after thinking about and evaluating, it was decided that all of them would resign to be a legislative reading.

"I said that you are half-hearted to resign now. Moreover, in the meantime, the registration period for the leg is until July 9, so don't let it close down like sabotage, so I don't want to," said Danny Pomanto.

The decision, he said, was certainly difficult. However, this step is an attitude of political manners. In addition, if you step down now, of course, someone must replace it immediately so that this is the reason.

As for political reasons, Danny Pomanto spoke diplomatically.

"With the current conditions, I think I am more comfortable like this and this is better for all. Because of my philosophy, I should resign," he explained.

Danny Pomanto emphasized that resigning as a member of the NasDem Party did not necessarily make the relationship tenuous, but on the contrary, it continued to run well. Even so, he does not know for sure where his politics will go in the future, considering that political dynamics continue and nothing is certain.

"There has been no change, this is only because of my attitude that I have to convey. I don't want gray, so it must be clear," he said.
