Medan Mayor Rico Waas has been involved in various regional leadership, social, and administrative activities. In early August 2026, Waas was appointed as a ‘Duta Penggerak Ayah Teladan’ (Father-Role Ambassador) by the provincial BKKBN representative. During the appointment, he advocated for the national Father-Role Movement and encouraged local officials to model strong family values. Concurrently, political commentators raised concerns regarding the city’s administration, specifically calling for more experienced appointments for the temporary city secretary to prevent stalled development. By late August 2026, Waas’s activities expanded to include regional security and disaster response. He attended the leadership transition of the Deputy Chief of North Sumatra Police, emphasizing the need for coordination between the local government and police forces. Additionally, the Medan City Government facilitated disaster relief efforts, with the Medan Civil Servants Corps distributing 50 million IDR to residents affected by tornadoes in several districts, including Medan Johor and Medan Amplas. In early September 2026, the Mayor shifted focus toward accelerating development and economic empowerment. During a Medan City Council (DPRD) plenary session, Waas instructed regional agencies to immediately execute development programs derived from legislative recess reports to ensure citizen welfare.
