JAKARTA - Head of the NasDem DPP Willy Aditya revealed the response of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo, and TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa when they were told that there were three names for presidential candidates (candidates) to be carried by the NasDem Party in the 2024 election.

According to Willy, the inclusion of the three names in the NasDem presidential candidate exchange is grateful. However, he did not specify which of the three responded that way.

"Some thank God, some thank you, some smile amazingly," said Willy at the NasDem DPP office, Gondangdia, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, June 22.

Even so, Willy said, all three of them welcomed the recommendation of the NasDem National Working Meeting.

"What NasDem has given is accepted with grace by the candidates. For that we are also grateful and want to welcome. Hopefully things will continue like this," he said.

Willy said that the three of them had the same opportunity to be carried by the NasDem Party along with the coalition that would form later. Currently, he said, NasDem is establishing further political communication with Anies, Ganjar, and Andika.

"All three have the same opportunity. All three have been communicated intensively without being discriminatory by the NasDem Party, we are like what Pak Surya Paloh has assigned to build communication with these three candidates, not one by one," he concluded.

Previously, Anies Baswedan expressed his gratitude to NasDem. For this non-party political figure, this is an honor that deserves appreciation.

"This is an honor, so I want to express my appreciation, thank you and respect to the NasDem DPW who proposed it and also the NasDem Party DPP. We convey our respect and appreciation to the General Chairperson, Mr. Surya Paloh and all ranks," said Anies after closing the Governor's Cup. DKI in Pancoran, Jakarta, Saturday, June 18.

Meanwhile, Ganjar maintains his attitude more when asked about his name being included in the presidential candidate market that will be carried by NasDem.

When asked for a response, Ganjar confirmed his commitment as a PDIP cadre. Even though there will be another party that will carry him, he will not budge.

"Thank you for getting the honor, but I'm the PDI-P. What are the applications? Do you really want to get married. The party is the PDI-P, the headquarters is the PDI-P," said Ganjar when met at the PDIP DPP office, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta, Thursday, June 16.

Meanwhile, Andika Perkasa has not commented on this candidacy. Possibly Andika is a person called Willy, as a character with an extraordinary smile.
