anura Party central executive board chairman Yuddy Chrisnandi said many party members wanted Hary Tanoesoedibjo to resign from Hanura due to the party's poor showing in the legislative election.
Hary Tanoe (HT), as the party's campaign team (Bappilu) manager, was considered to have failed in carrying out his duties so that Hanura could rank only 10th according to quick counts.
'Hanura lost more than 5 million potential voters. HT is now considered the cause of Hanura's failure to become a high-ranking party as previously expected. Many members want HT to take responsibility and resign from Hanura,' Yuddy said on Wednesday as quoted by kompas.com.
He said Hary's presence in Hanura had no significant impact on the party. He further claimed that Hanura had a poor showing in the legislative election because Hary and his colleagues on the campaign team had no experience in dealing with election-related matters.
Yuddy admitted that Hary had made significant contributions to the party through election advertisements in his media outlets. 'However, merely ads were not enough to boost Hanura so that it ranked 10th in the legislative election,' he went on.
Yuddy said that if with Hary were to resign, the party would have a more favorable internal situation to build a coalition ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
'I myself think that Hary Tanoe should resign only as Bappilu chief, not as a party member. This is so he would not need to intervene in preparing coalition strategies and measures to win the presidential election,' said Yuddy. (put/ebf)
