It Is Said That NasDem Will Be Nominated As A Cagub Of DKI, This Is Sahroni's Response
JAKARTA - Anies Baswedan's term as Governor of DKI Jakarta will expire in 2022. Along with this, the DKI Jakarta Pilkada has begun to be discussed even though it will be held in 2024.
On the other hand, many political parties have been 'guided' about the name of the candidate for governor who will be promoted in the regional head contest.
In contrast to most parties that still keep their candidates secret, the NasDem Party has actually brought up three names as candidates for governor candidate to replace Anies Baswedan. One of them, the General Treasurer of the NasDem Party DPP Ahmad Sahroni.
So, how did Sahroni, who is known as the crazy rich Tanjung Priok, respond?
"I actually just flowed, the impetus that emerged was the aspiration of the cadres, and of course it's legal," said Sahroni, Friday, January 7th.
However, the Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR admitted that so far there has been no official discussion within NasDem regarding the Jakarta governor candidacy market. "So far, from existing formal communications, this discussion has never appeared," said Sahroni.
Previously, the chairman of the NasDem faction of the DKI DPRD, Bestari Barus, named three candidates to run in the DKI Jakarta Pilkada. Namely, the General Treasurer of the NasDem DPP Ahmad Sahroni, the Head of Health Okky Asokawati, and the Regional Secretary of the DKI NasDem DPW Wibi Andrino.
"We have Okky Asokawati, a female cadre. Then we also have Wibi Andrino, a young faction leader. We have Sahroni," said Bestari Barus in Jakarta, Friday, January 7.
He also made sure that NasDem was not just talking about proposing these names. Because he said, the party created by Surya Paloh wanted to be faster than other political parties in deciding and announcing candidates for future leaders of the capital. "Usually, NasDem will be the fastest. If the others are just starting to talk, I believe NasDem will be faster than the others in pushing the names of candidates for governor," said Bestari.
He said, NasDem will conduct a selection of candidates who meet the criteria to become a candidate for governor. So that the candidates carried can work better in carrying out their duties.
"And we can continue the development in DKI Jakarta that has been done so well by Anies Baswedan and his previous governors, to achieve community satisfaction," he said.
