Political Party KIM Called Already Has A Candidate Name For West Java Gubernatorial Election, PAN: Just Have An Agreement

JAKARTA - The National Mandate Party (PAN) said that political parties who are members of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) have proposed to each other the names of candidates for governor who will be promoted in the 2024 West Java gubernatorial election. PAN said the decision on names was only an agreement.

Secretary General of PAN Eddy Soeparno initially said that his party agreed with Gerindra's proposal to carry Ridwan Kamil in the Jakarta Pilkada. However, for West Java, he said, it has not been determined.

"We don't have any West Java cadres yet, from PAN itself we have proposed Desi Ratnasari or Bima Arya. The Gerindra Party has proposed Dedi Mulyadi, I think maybe Golkar will also not lack figures, rather than Ridwan Kamil," said Eddy to reporters, Friday, June 14.

"So I think the names already exist, we just have to agree who wants to be proposed," he continued.

However, PAN is still open to other political parties outside of KIM who want to join.

"Tide once had a closed door for us to partner with other parties, but because the commitment between friends at KIM was strong from the start so we will start everything from a commitment with friends from KIM," he concluded.
