Brilio.net - Verrell Bramasta is happy because he won a seat in Senayan in the 2024 Legislative Election (Pileg). After successfully passing the selection process, Verrell was officially appointed as a member of the DPR RI for the 2024-2029 period through an internal plenary meeting of the National Mandate Party (PAN) . According to the General Election Commission (KPU), Venna Melinda's child managed to get the support of 94,810 votes. In fact, the number of votes obtained by Verrell surpassed the incumbent legislative candidates from other parties.
"Thank God, today the plenary session was passed and I was elected as a member of the legislature," said Verrell Bramasta in the Kemang area, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (20/3).
"From the real personal count and the votes were validated, I got 94,810 votes. The total party vote was 222 thousand," he added.
In his candidacy, Verrell stated that he had no special promises or commitments regarding his election as a member of the legislature. He realized that his success in the 2024 Legislative Election contest was the result of the support of those closest to him. Apart from that, this is also supported by activities where Verrell regularly meets residents to introduce himself. Over the course of approximately one year, he visited 700 different locations.
However, of course we still remember his breakthrough in promising to hand over his salary if he is elected as a member of the DPR RI in the 2024 election. Quoted from dream.co.id in a press conference at the Swissbell Inn Cikarang Hotel, Bekasi Regency, Verrell, who was accompanied by the Deputy Deputy of PUAN Putri Zulkifli Hasan, emphasized that he would donate his salary as a member of the council if elected in the 2024 election. Verrell would donate his entire salary to the people in the Electoral District ( Electoral District) West Java VII which covers Bekasi, Karawang and Purwakarta regencies for one year in office.

As we know, quite a bit of budget is spent on running for legislative office. The funds spent include campaign and operational funds. Likewise with Verrell, he admitted that he had invested a significant amount during the campaign period. Verrell emphasized that the funds used did not come from loans or using other people's property rights.
Although the exact amount was not stated, many assume that the funds spent by Verrell reached billions just for the campaign. Reporting from Kapanlagi.com by brilio.net on Thursday (21/3), Ivan Fadillah as the successful team and Verrell's father responded wisely to these allegations.
"It's called operational funds, there must be, it's impossible or not because we go to the electoral district which is quite far away, there we gather with the community, it definitely requires quite a lot of funds. So it really takes energy, physically, mentally and materially to be able to (pass) "But finally, luck from Allah is needed," said Ivan Fadillah.
