Will Cawabup Majene Meet PPP Senior Politicians in Banten

Mamuju, Sulbarkita.com -- Candidates for Majene Deputy Regent (Cawabup), Sudarman AR increasingly show their determination to participate in Majene Regional Election (Pilkada) contestation on 23 September. It was seen when he went to Banten to study political science with a senior United Development Party (PPP) politician, Zarkasi Nur.

"I ask for advice or political science from him. I already consider Mr. Zarkasih as my own parents, "Sudarman told Sulbarkita.com via telephone, Thursday, January 23, 2020.

The Indonesian National Army (TNI) soldier met Zarkasih Nur at his residence, in Ciputat, Tangerang City, Banten Province, Thursday, January 23 afternoon. Sudarman was greeted with joy. "He knew I would come from his child. The first time we met he said, (my hero has come)," said Sudarman.

He told me about his meeting with Zarkasi. Sudarman said, before he was allowed to sit, Zarkasi looked at him for a whole while. "After staring at me, he said, you are more likely to be a regent, not a deputy regent," Sudarman said.

According to him, the political knowledge or advice he received from the former Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (UKM) in the Gus Dur era would be used as a reference in dealing with the democratic party in Majene.

"He taught me things about religion, especially about the relationship between people. He said, imitate President Jokowi who was popular and how he was when subverting Fauzi Bowo in Jakarta. Remember, the voice of fishermen is the same as the voice of the head of service in the elections, One Man, One Foot," said Sudarman delivering a message from Zarkasi.

Sudarman's meeting with the Zarkasih family began when he served in Jakarta in 1997. After he left the TNI barracks, he lived in a boarding house of a cousin near Zarkasi. That's when he began to become familiar with Zarkasi. "At that time I was still single. I often attend family events. They already consider me like my own family," said Sudarman.

At the end of his meeting, Zarkasi chanted to the creator so that the goal of Sudarman could be achieved. "He supports my every step," he said.
