Anas Urbaningrum Ketua Umum Partai Demokrat - Anas Urbaningrum now leads the Democratic Party. He was elected on the Democratic Party of the Second Congress in Bandung, 23 May. Many who value victory is the victory of the young generation Anas. They rate has been growing awareness in determining a new leader who is more fresh and elegant for the advancement of his own Democratic Party.
Anas Urbaningrum - But whatever the reason, we should give appreciation for the election of Democrats to lead Anas next five years. For as is known, Anas victory is not supported by the abundance of funds and did not also get support from family Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. The victory was due to Anas is believed capable of bringing the party into a better direction. So that grassroots support and was ultimately able to defeat the two candidates who have declared a long time going forward in Congress. One of them put political ads in the imagery itself.
But no matter what happens before and during the Democratic congress, we should note as the history that characterizes democracy in Indonesia. Even processes that occur in the congress which lasted two days, giving''performances''uphold political politeness and fixed on a framework of unity.
Anas struggle to become a leader of the largest party in Indonesia, it is not easy. He departed from the simplicity and away from the character pursuit of power. Appearances are polite and not many promising, young politicians rupannya be the choice in the Democratic party.
Anas appearances very far from the political strategy of imagery. He showed more work in raising the party. On that basis also, Anas has signaled retreat from the House of Representatives. For the first stage he stepped down as Chairman of the Democratic Party. The reason is simple, want to concentrate in implementing the mandate of Congress.
On the desire to promote the Democratic Party, Anas should not be too dependent on the leadership of SBY or even attempt to image itself is identical to the style of SBY. What should be done is to strengthen the power of party and institutional networks in order to remain competitive in the upcoming election.
Because''show''that were served in the Second Congress Democratic Party will become an example for other parties in recruiting leaders from the younger generation. However it should be noted not just the younger generation, but they must be intelligent, care about the suffering of the people and not power hungry. Because when power-hungry leaders, then all ways will be conducted. Even when faced with a choice whether to defend people's interests or party interests, the consideration remains a choice that will perpetuate his power. So power over everything.
Delivered exactly what President Yudhoyono when closing the second congress of the Democratic Party. He asked the party elite to favor state interests over the interests of the party. That is, not until after lifting the image of the party, the elites are willing to ignore the interests of the state.
For that, Anas Urbaningrum should also heed the President. The task of running the congressional mandate, must also be adjusted to the interests of the people. Do not till, the time spent in the next five years just to imaging themselves in the score itself in the presidential nomination at the 2014 election.
