Suara.com – In the 2024 elections, a number of names of legislative candidates (candidates) are competing to get votes at the district/city, provincial or DPR RI level. One of the legislative candidates competing at the Provincial DPRD level is named Hitler Nababan.
Yes, the name of the candidate for the 10th West Java electoral district is the same as the Nazi figure Adolf Hitler. Hitler Nababan is running for the Nasdem party in the 2024 elections. The name Hitler Nababan became a public topic of conversation on the X social media platform.
Based on monitoring from the KPU's real count data, the last update, February 17 2024, Hitler Nababan's chances of becoming a legislative member in the West Java DPRD are quite small. Hitler Nababan only collected 3682 votes.
Meanwhile, Dedi Mulyadi's ex-wife, Anne Ratna Mustika, who is running for the Golkar party, won the biggest number of votes. Ambu Anne received 21,377 votes.
Before joining the Nasdem party and running for parliament this year, Hitler Nababan was a Democrat Party politician. He was a cadre from 2013 to 2023.
This man, born in Aceh, 23 July 1973, was also a cadre of the Indonesian Democratic Love Party (PKDI).
In the 2009 elections, Hitler ran for PKDI in electoral district 1 Karawang, unfortunately he failed because he only got 482 votes. Then in the 2014 elections, he ran as a Democratic cadre and received 6,278 votes, which was the fifth most votes in the electoral district, thus giving him a seat in the Karawang Regional People's Representative Council.
In April 2018, Hitler's name was in the spotlight because he uploaded a meme depicting former MPR Chairman Amien Rais and the leader of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) mass organization Muhammad Rizieq Shihab.
This meme then spread to the public and made the masses angry. At the end of the meme incident, Hitler was beaten by unknown people, causing injuries to his face.
A year after the incident, Hitler again ran for office in the 2019 elections. Unfortunately he failed to run as a member of the legislature even though the Democratic Party won 2 seats for the Karawang 6 electoral district.
