Pasaman is a region in Indonesia that has recently seen a significant development in its political landscape. The rivalry between the highest figures in Pasaman has finally come to an end, as two former regents, Yusuf Lubis and Benny Utama, have joined forces to support the candidacy of Maraondak and Desrizal for the positions of Regent and Vice Regent of Pasaman. This unity was on full display as they gathered together to register with the Pasaman Regional Election Commission (KPU).
The atmosphere was electric as supporters from both the northern and southern regions of Pasaman came together to witness this historic moment. Former Regent Yusuf Lubis, former Chairman of the Pasaman Regional Council (DPRD) Yasri, as well as elected members of the Pasaman and West Sumatra DPRD were all in attendance. Additionally, former Regent Benny Utama, who is currently in Malaysia, joined the event via video call.
The unity of these influential figures has created a formidable team in Maraondak and Desrizal. Their supporters were in awe of the collaboration between the northern and southern leaders of Pasaman. „The Maraondak-Desrizal pair is truly powerful. United by two prominent figures from the north and south, Yusuf Lubis and Benny Utama. Amazing,“ remarked Eki, a supporter present at the event.
The strength of the Maraondak-Desrizal pair is not surprising given their individual backgrounds. Maraondak, a retired Secretary of the Pasaman District, and a graduate of the National Institute of Public Administration (STPDN), has dedicated his career to serving the community. Starting as a Sub-District Head, he worked his way up to become the Secretary of Pasaman District, demonstrating his commitment to public service.
Desrizal, also a retired civil servant, focused his career on the healthcare sector. Serving in various roles, including Head of the Health Department, he dedicated himself to improving the health and well-being of the community. Together, they bring a wealth of experience and dedication to their candidacy.
The Maraondak-Desrizal pair, known by the acronym MODE, officially registered with the KPU, where they were warmly received by the Chairman, Taufiq, and the registration team. After a thorough examination of their documents, their registration was deemed complete.
Looking ahead, the pair is focused on building a better future for Pasaman. During a declaration at the KPU Media Centre, they outlined their vision, mission, and programs aimed at improving the lives of Pasaman’s residents. „For decades, we have served the community in various capacities, and we are ready to lead Pasaman to victory. We invite all members of the community to join us in building a better Pasaman,“ stated Maraondak, accompanied by Desrizal.
In conclusion, the unity of influential figures in Pasaman has paved the way for a promising future for the region. With the support of key leaders like Yusuf Lubis and Benny Utama, the Maraondak-Desrizal pair is well-positioned to bring positive change and progress to Pasaman. Their dedication to public service and commitment to the community make them a formidable team that is ready to lead Pasaman to a brighter future.
