JAKARTA - Mr Bobby Nasution, Medan Mayor and son-in-law of President Joko Widodo, has been officially dismissed from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) for supporting Indonesian presidential and vice-presidential candidates Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka
“Yes, he was dismissed because he was deemed to have violated party rules. This is to ensure that he takes responsibility and did not underestimate his role as a party member,” said Mr Boydo Panjaitan, treasurer of the PDI-P Medan branch, on Tuesday.
