Partai Amanat Nasional 28th anniversary celebrations

Overview

The National Mandate Party (PAN) marked its 28th anniversary with a series of community-focused activities and high-level political gatherings in Indonesia.

Initial celebrations involved social programs across various regions. In Jakarta, the Barisan Muda PAN distributed lunch packages and tools for people with disabilities. Regional branches also conducted social services, such as food donations to an orphanage in North Sumatra, prayer sessions in Kendal, and a kite-flying competition in Merauke.

On September 18, 2026, the anniversary was marked by a large event at the Jakarta International Convention Center attended by President Prabowo Subianto. During the ceremony, PAN Chairperson Zulkifli Hasan highlighted the party’s long-term political alliance with the President and noted that PAN would follow consensus regarding the proposed 5 percent parliamentary threshold.

In his address, President Prabowo called for ‘intellectual honesty’ among scholars and criticized certain experts for spreading ‘fitnah’ (slander), which he noted is more severe than murder. He warned against economic powers attempting to hijack democracy by bribing political figures, judges, prosecutors, and military officials. The President also reaffirmed his commitment to addressing national welfare issues, specifically ensuring no Indonesian child suffers from hunger or malnutrition. He outlined plans to provide free education from elementary school through state universities, potentially funded by recovered corruption assets, and discussed infrastructure projects like building airstrips in fishing villages. In a lighter moment, he expressed a preference for the nickname ‘Mas Bowo’ over more elderly titles and noted that the Indonesian people enjoy dancing.

Additionally, President Prabowo emphasized the necessity of food and energy sovereignty. He highlighted Indonesia’s achievement of food self-sufficiency and the successful transition to domestic diesel production using palm oil (B50), describing palm oil as a ‘miracle plant’ due to its various derivatives.
