JAKARTA - Singer and comedian Soimah was appointed as candidates for Regent and Deputy Regent of Bantul. This time, the owner of the name Soimah Pancawati was promoted by 3 major Indonesian parties, namely Golkar, PDI-Perjuangan, and Gerindra.

This news has even been confirmed by the chairman of the Golkar Bantul Party DPD, Paidi, who said that Soimah's name was indeed included in the ranks of the nominations exchange even though it was only a proposal.

"The name Soimah appears in the party's internal aspiration network. (But) We have not communicated further with the person concerned whether to register or not," said Paidi at the Bantul Golkar Party DPD Office, Friday, April 19.

Seeing this, Soimah finally spoke up regarding this news. The 43-year-old woman firmly said that the news was fake news.

"So, the news that has been circulating so far, that what I said has run for Bantul Regent Candidate, Yogyakarta, is actually fake news," said Soimah Pancawati, quoted by VOI from YouTube Trans7 Official, Monday, April 22.

Furthermore, Soimah said that until now she has not been interested in taking the opportunity to become Regent or Deputy Regent.

"Because so far I have never been moved to run for Regent or Deputy Regent," he continued.

But Soimah did not cover up if indeed many parties had offered to enter politics even though she was still not interested.

"Yes, basically many want it. But, for now I have not been interested," he concluded.
