BARRU, JurnalPost.com - Barru Regent, Andi Ina Kartika Sari, has invited all political parties in Barru Regency to maintain unity and strengthen cooperation with the local government. According to her, differences in political affiliation or party colors should not be an obstacle to achieving development that benefits the community.
This message was conveyed by Andi Ina while attending the inauguration of the Branch Executive Board (DPC) of the United Development Party (PPP) of Barru Regency for the 2026–2031 term, which was held in conjunction with the opening of the PPP Branch Consultative Meeting (Musancab) across Barru Regency.
The event took place at Kampung Bugis Jaasyra, Binuang Village, Balusu District, Barru Regency, on Friday (23/10/2026), and was attended by party officials, regional government representatives, and various community leaders.
In her remarks, Andi Ina extended her congratulations to the Chairman of the DPC PPP of Barru Regency, H. Armandsyah Arifuddin, along with all the newly inaugurated board members. She expressed her hope that the board for the 2026–2031 term would effectively carry out their organizational responsibilities while contributing to regional development.
The Regent also expressed her appreciation to the provincial and regency-level PPP leadership for organizing the event. She noted that the inauguration of board members is a vital part of organizational sustainability and strengthening the role of political parties within society.
Barru Regent Invites PPP to Strengthen Cooperation with the Government
Andi Ina believes that the role of political parties is not limited to electoral activities. Parties can also serve as channels for public aspirations, spaces for political education, and partners to the government in presenting development ideas.
She hopes that PPP Barru Regency can continue to fulfill this role, including by maintaining communication with the local government regarding various issues faced by the community.
“As Regent and as a patron of political parties in Barru Regency, I hope that PPP remains in synergy with the government to provide the best work for the people of Barru Regency,” said Andi Ina.
According to her, the local government is open to various inputs and ideas from political parties as long as they aim to support the interests of the public.
She also mentioned that the good relationship already established with several PPP officials is part of her long journey in the world of politics and government.
Andi Ina recalled her shared history with various parties, including the extended PPP family, from her time serving as a member of the South Sulawesi Provincial DPRD to her current tenure as Regent of Barru.
Nevertheless, she emphasized that political relationships and friendships must remain focused on broader interests, especially the improvement of public welfare.
“Even though we have different colors, our goal remains the same: to provide welfare for the people in our respective areas of responsibility,” she asserted.
Political Differences Must Not Hinder Development
On this occasion, Andi Ina also touched upon the importance of maintaining a conducive political climate in Barru Regency.
She holds the view that differences in political perspectives and choices are part of democratic life. Therefore, all parties are expected to prioritize communication, mutual respect, and cooperation in matters concerning the public interest.
The Regent urged political parties not to let differences become a barrier to supporting regional development programs.
For her, cooperation between the government and various political elements needs to be realized through concrete steps, not just communication during official events.
She hopes that every idea presented by political parties can provide constructive input for the government, particularly in improving public services and citizen welfare.
At the end of her remarks, Andi Ina once again congratulated the newly inaugurated DPC PPP Barru board.
She reminded them that an organizational position is a mandate that must be carried out with responsibility, both to the community and to Allah SWT.

The implementation of the PPP Musancab across Barru Regency is an important agenda to strengthen the organizational structure at the branch level.
Through this forum, the board is expected to unify ideas, draft work programs, and clarify the direction of organizational activities for the upcoming term.
