After the United People’s Democratic Union (PRDB) of North Sumatra, an assessment of the figure of Hasyim SE has now come from the United Front for Marginalized Communities (BATU MARMAR).

Hasyim SE is considered a figure worthy of leading Medan City in the future. This is based on his long track record in the political world, from the Medan Regional Legislative Council (DPRD) to the North Sumatra DPRD, which shows consistency, dedication, and closeness to the community.

The Central Coordinator of BATU MARMAR stated that Hasyim is an inclusive leader capable of embracing all groups without distinction of religious, ethnic, or social background. This makes him a unifying figure amidst the diversity of Medan City.

During three terms serving in the Medan DPRD, Hasyim was known for having a clean track record and a strong commitment to fighting for the interests of the people, especially the common people and marginalized groups. His humble attitude and openness have made him widely accepted by various circles.

Furthermore, his active involvement in cross-religious and cross-cultural social activities strengthens his image as a leader who upholds the values of tolerance and togetherness. This is considered very important for maintaining harmony in a plural city like Medan.

His successful election as a member of the North Sumatra DPRD for the 2024-2029 term is also strong proof that public trust in him remains intact. Not only that, Hasyim has also been trusted again to lead as Chairman of the Medan City PDI Perjuangan DPC for the third time, demonstrating the strong legitimacy and internal party trust in his leadership.

With long experience, integrity, and the ability to embrace all levels of society, BATU MARMAR assesses that Hasyim, SE has the capacity that is very worthy of becoming the future Mayor of Medan.

Therefore, BATU MARMAR invites all elements of society to provide full support to Hasyim as a leader figure capable of making Medan more advanced, inclusive, and united.
