PAN's 28th Anniversary: Zulhas Explains Loyalty to Prabowo

Indonesia's National Mandate Party (PAN) has celebrated its 28th anniversary. Party chairman Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas) spoke about his reasons for continuing to stand with President Prabowo Subianto, ahead of the party's 28th anniversary celebration. Hasan stated that PAN has gone through phases of ups and downs, having supported Prabowo in three presidential elections before he ultimately won in 2024. He emphasized that the policies currently being implemented by the government must not fail. This statement suggests PAN's intention to continue playing a significant role under the Prabowo administration. PAN had previously supported Prabowo in the 2009, 2014, and 2019 presidential elections, indicating a long-standing political alliance. In Indonesian politics, inter-party alliances and expressions of support are crucial elements that influence election strategies and the stability of governance. PAN's pledge of loyalty to President Prabowo could have implications for future political dynamics.
