JAKARTA - The meeting of the General Chair of NasDem, Surya Paloh, and the Chairperson of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto, was held behind closed doors. It is believed that the meeting at the NasDem DPP Office will not discuss the discourse of postponing the 2024 election.

"It's impossible. The NasDem is final regarding the postponement of the election," said Deputy General Chairperson of NasDem, Ahmad Ali, to reporters, Thursday, March 10. Even so, Ahmad Ali admitted that he did not know for sure what was discussed in the meeting of the two party officials. This is because the chairman of the NasDem faction in the DPR did not participate in the meeting.

"I don't know exactly. I remember before I went to Surabaya, there was already a request to meet. Then the meeting was scheduled for today," said Ali.

But what is clear, he said, is that the Nasdem Party rejects the proposed postponement of the 2024 general election. "In our country, we negotiate many things for NasDem, but then we reach out to constitutional matters, we don't have room to negotiate," said Ali.

It is known that Airlangga arrived at the NasDem DPP Office Thursday afternoon accompanied by a number of elites, including the Secretary General, Lodewijk Friedrich Paulus; Deputy Chairperson of Golkar, Nurul Arifin; Rizal Mallarangeng; Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita; former Mayor of South Tangerang, Airin Rachmi Diany. Airlangga admitted that this meeting was just a gathering.

"Just keep in touch," said Airlangga shortly after arriving at the Nasdem Party DPP Office, Jakarta, Thursday, March 10.
