NasDem Refuses To Chase, Let Anies Come Alone Asking To Be Carried By Cagub DKI

JAKARTA - Secretary of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) of the NasDem Party DPP Willy Aditya emphasized that his party would not pursue Anies to be promoted as a candidate for Governor of DKI Jakarta.

So, NasDem did not want to go to Anies first to ask for his willingness to run for the DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election, as previously PKS and PKB did.

"Nasdem is good, isn't it. You see how the presidential election is, right with Anies? This (now) is in turn. Yesterday was intimate with NasDem, got along, dated. Then (if) now PKB wants to date too, PKS too, it's natural," said Willy at NasDem Tower, Central Jakarta, Thursday, June 6.

According to Willy, political parties (political parties) do not equate their maneuvers in the regional elections with the presidential election. During the election, political parties are more passive.

Because, usually, the candidates for regional heads who will visit each party to take part in the selection in order to get a recommendation for the suspension.

"So in the context of regional elections, the party is not very proactive because everyone comes, we consider everything we interviewed," explained Willy.

The chairman of the NasDem Party Leadership Council (DPP) is still not aware whether the former Governor of DKI Jakarta intends to register for the Jakarta governor's cagub through his party.

"Ask Mr. Anies, really. If Nasdem is okay," he added.

Previously, PKB had sent regional officials in Jakarta to communicate with Anies regarding his commitment to running for the DKI Regional Head Election. Now, Anies is said to have registered as a governor of DKI to PKB.

Some time ago, PKS also visited Anies' residence in the Lebak Bulus area to ask for his willingness to be carried back like the 2017 DKI Pilkada.

When responding to this, Anies welcomed it. However, the former Minister of Education and Culture is still waiting for PKS to determine the coalition of supporting parties.

"This is still the territory of parties that are not individuals. Because he doesn't have a party, right. 'If it's ready, the parties have coalitiond, I'll answer this later'. He said so," said DPW PKS DKI Jakarta Secretary Abdul Aziz.
