Hanura Conducts "Medical Check-Up" on Party Structure, 95 Percent Ready for 2029 Election

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Hanura Party claims that approximately 95 percent of its structure across Indonesia is prepared to face the 2029 General Election (Pemilu).

This claim was made following the National Consolidation conducted by the Central Executive Board (DPP) of Hanura across 38 provinces.

“After touring from Aceh to Papua, nearly 95 percent of the party is ready for the contest,” said the Head of the DPP Hanura Task Force, Patrice Rio Capella, in a statement on Saturday (14/11/2026).

Rio explained that the consolidation was carried out to assess organizational readiness and to identify issues that may hinder the party’s movement in the regions.

He likened the consolidation process to a health check or a “medical check-up” to gauge the party's condition before entering the electoral preparation stage.

“That’s why I am confident that after we conduct a medical check-up of this party, we will issue recommendations, which will reveal whether there are any issues like high cholesterol, heart problems, blood pressure, blood sugar, and so on in this party,” he explained.

Rio and the DPP Hanura Task Force recently completed their consolidation with the leaders of Hanura in Southwest Papua on Friday (13/11/2026).

According to Rio, the results of this assessment will serve as the basis for the DPP to determine necessary organizational improvements.

In this way, issues identified in each region can be addressed promptly before the 2029 Election.

“After touring 38 provinces, we found the problems that need to be treated. The remedies we prepare should ensure the party can move faster,” he stated.

From his visits to various regions, nearly all party structures have demonstrated readiness for the upcoming political contests.

“There may be one or two provincial branches that are still lagging today, but on average, everyone is working enthusiastically, including Southwest Papua,” he said.

He emphasized that the spirit and willingness of the cadres to work are crucial assets in strengthening the party.

According to him, organizational consolidation requires not only completing the management but also fostering a shared awareness to grow the party.

“To build the party, we first need to cultivate the spirit. The song Indonesia Raya says, ‘build the soul, build the body.’ What we are doing now is to instill this spirit among the souls,” Rio remarked.

He also stressed the need for cadres to eliminate sectoral egos and avoid undermining one another within the party.

Rio believes that all cadres must understand that the interests of the party are collective interests. Each cadre should work according to their respective duties and responsibilities.

“If this party is strong, we all can become strong. Thus, we need to minimize narrow egos that are not beneficial for the party,” Rio concluded.
