Aldi Taher and Investor Andry Hakim Join Democratic Party
From artist Aldi Taher to stock investor Andry Hakim, several new figures have joined the Democratic Party. The joining of these individuals has been confirmed by the Central Executive Board (DPP) of the Democratic Party.
“It is true,” said the Head of the Strategic Communications Agency of the Democratic Party, Herzaky Mahendra, to reporters on Thursday (10/09/2026).
Herzaky subsequently shared a moment featuring General Chairman Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) introducing the new Democratic Party cadres. AHY welcomed the number of young people wishing to contribute to the party.
Other names introduced by the party included Andry Hakim, Vincent Liyanto, Seiya Kawakami, Andrian Wijaya, Aditya Chandra, Daniel Wiguna, Dennis Liuwinta, Andi Halid, Michael Gunawan, Edo Utama, Marshella Angelina, Dr. Grady, and Sayyid Assegaf. The joining of these figures is part of the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the Democratic Party.
However, Aldi Taher was not present during the introduction of the new Democratic Party members.
“Commemorating our 25th anniversary, I, along with @pdemokrat, welcome the presence of young cadres to learn from one another: young people master the digital future, investment, and innovation, while we walk together to build the nation,” AHY stated on his official social media account, as quoted on Thursday (10/09).
AHY stated that the joining of these figures was inseparable from the role of Democratic cadre Hillary Brigitta Lasut. He noted that the role of young people is crucial for the party.
“The presence of these colleagues, initiated by Ms. @hillyarbrigitta in her capacity as Head of the Constituency Network Development Agency of the DPP @pdemokrat, proves that young people are not remaining idle. Hearing the appreciation and memories of the younger generation regarding Indonesia’s development legacy in the past truly ignites the spirit of the Democratic Party at its 25th anniversary,” said AHY.
He stated that the Democrats are committed to fighting for the aspirations of the people as part of President Prabowo Subianto’s administration. He believes that young people are capable of contributing to national development.
“As part of President Prabowo Subianto’s administration, the Democrats are committed to continuing to listen, fight for the people’s aspirations, and provide real solutions amidst today’s global dynamics,” AHY added.
“We want to learn from each other: young people master the digital future, investment, and innovation, while we walk together to build the nation.”
As for Aldi Taher, he was previously known to have a political track record. He had joined PKS and PBB, and most recently was known as a member of Perindo.
Aldi even ran as a legislative candidate for the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) in the West Java VII constituency during the 2024 Election representing the Perindo Party. However, he failed to secure a seat in Senayan because his party did not reach the 4% parliamentary threshold.
