The Fraksi Partai Amanat Nasional (PAN) DPR RI is organising a range of social activities during the Ramadan month up to the days approaching Eid al-Fitr 2026. The Chairperson of the PAN Faction in the DPR RI, Putri Zulkifli Hasan, said that the implementation of these programmes is an order from PAN’s General Chairman, Zulkifli Hasan. She added that all PAN Faction members were asked to go directly to the community to provide aid and support during the holy month of Ramadan.

“So, following the instruction from the General Chairman, we members of the DPR RI PAN Faction are asked to go directly to help the people, especially during the holy month of Ramadan,” Putri said in a statement on Friday (6/3/2026).

One of the social programmes run by the PAN Faction during Ramadan is the PANsar Murah Ramadan programme. This is a nationwide initiative to redeem staple foods at discounted prices, as a sign of care for the public.

“There are several programmes: the first is the PANsar Murah Ramadan, a nationwide staple-food redemption at discount prices from Aceh to Papua. It is still ongoing, with thousands of staple packages already distributed by all PAN DPR RI members,” she said.

In addition, the PAN Faction is preparing a free homecoming programme for people who wish to return to their hometown ahead of Eid al-Fitr. The programme, named Mudik Ceria PAN 2026, is scheduled with the first wave starting on 8 March 2026 and the second wave on Sunday, 15 March 2026.

“God willing, on 8 March the first mudik wave will use trains, and on 15 March the second wave will use buses. So there will be around 3,000 quotas, through buses and trains, across 8 provinces and 29 regencies/cities. All costs will be borne by the PAN Faction in the DPR RI,” Putri explained.

The PAN Faction also distributed staple packages to workers in the parliamentary environment. A total of 1,100 staple packages were prepared and distributed together with rendang to a number of workers in the DPR RI, from internal security officers (Pamdal) to cleaners and staff.

“Alhamdulillah today we routinely hold sharing activities during the holy month of Ramadan. Today there are about 1,100 staple packages, plus rendang sharing from the PAN Faction in the DPR RI to all the families who work in the DPR RI environment,” Putri said. (H-2)
