Pekalongan, Indonesia Herald - Muhammad Mukhtar was elected Branch Chairman and Willy Purnomo was elected Branch Secretary from the decision of the Indonesian National Student Movement Branch Conference, Friday (30/07/2023).
"For the impression, I must be grateful. At the same time, I feel challenged to continue to spur the enthusiasm of my friends so that together we can build GMNI Pekalongan Raya Branch to be great," said Mukhtar after being elected as Chairman of GMNI Pekalongan Branch.
Mukhtar explained that the work program will soon be drafted. "We haven't decided on a more detailed work program yet. We are still discussing it with other board members. What is certain is that in general we will focus on cadre education and recruitment of new cadres," he explained.
"For the first event, we are planning a celebration agenda with active cadres and several related parties. Such as GMNI alumni and other parties who are in motion in the field always synergize with GMNI," he continued.
Bung Mukhtar's explanation of student cadre at Pekalongan University. "The main focus of future management in adding commissariats is not only at the University of Pekalongan, UIN Gusdur Pekalongan and ITS NU Pekalongan. But of course we are not just looking for quantity. Furthermore, the quality of cadres will also be maximized. The hope is that GMNI cadres can be a solution in every layer of society, especially the marhaen," he explained.
"I think this is momentum. Regarding opportunities, it's back to us again. Can we maximize the momentum of the change from IAIN Pekalongan to UIN Gusdur Pekalongan? What is clear is that in general there is a great opportunity for GMNI to carry out regeneration at UIN Gusdur Pekalongan." He continued.
Regarding the focus of the work program, Mukhtar explained, "Of course we will focus more on local issues. Because in general, local issues are rarely touched by the regional to central government. Therefore, it seems wiser to focus more on local issues which will have a direct impact on the people of Pekalongan," he explained.
"Regarding national issues, we leave it to the GMNI DPP (Central Leadership Council of the Indonesian National Student Movement). It's not that we want to avoid national issues. I don't think so, but rather to maximize our role around us. So that as little as possible our presence can help change Pekalongan for the better in the future," he concluded.
