JAKARTA - The grassroots movement to support the campaign for Medan mayor and deputy mayor Akhyar Nasution-Salman Alfarisi continues to strengthen.
Support to Akhyar-Salman was also conveyed by the Ama'un community. This community handed over the money collected by residents to the Akhyar-Salman winning team.
"For the past two weeks I have invited the public to help AMAN's campaign in order to win the Medan Regional Head Election in December," said Syukri Polen, a community representative when he came to the headquarters of the AMAN success team, Monday, October 12.
Syukri has not yet calculated the money collected from residents for Akhyar-Salman. "We put the collected funds in plastic, then we submit it to the AMAN team. I don't know how much the collected funds were," he said.
Syukri handed over the donated funds directly to the Chairman of the AMAN Team, Ibrahim Tarigan at the AMAN winning office, Jalan Sudirman, Medan.
"I am very touched and very proud of the support of the people of Medan City for AMAN's struggle," said Ibrahim.
The AMAN team calculates the amount of funds collected. The total donation was Rp1,025,000 consisting of several bills of Rp100 thousand and Rp50 thousand and the largest amount was the denominations of Rp. 20 thousand, Rp. 10 thousand and two thousand. there was also a coin in plastic that was handed over.
This aid is not the first time it has been received. Previously, AMAN's winning house had received aid for drinking 20 boxes of mineral water, rice and other food assistance from the community.
The head of the AMAN Timses said that community participation was important. This is because in the report on the use of initial campaign funds that the AMAN team submitted to the Medan KPU, the total budget that the team had spent was around Rp1,125,000. Some of the funds were made by individuals.
The lack of campaign funds for the AKhyar Salman pair, explained by Ibrahim, is inversely proportional to the campaign funds of his competitors, Bobby and Aulia Rahman, who have much greater financial support.
However, Akhyar-Salman, who was promoted by Democrats and PKS, is still optimistic about the upcoming regional elections. This couple strongly believes that grassroots support for them is very strong, especially from among intellectuals, youth and workers.
