JAKARTA - Nurmansjah Lubis (PKS) and Ahmad Riza Patria (Gerindra Party) began to make efforts to seek sympathy for 106 members of the DKI DPRD for the 2019-2024 period. They are both candidates for deputy governor of DKI who need the votes of members of the DKI DPRD.

Secretary of the PKS DPRD DKI Faction Ahmad Yani said, Nurmansjah would be swift to visit the DKI parliament. PKS will arrange the schedule for Nurmansjah's introduction to the party factions in the DPRD.

"Later we will introduce the cawagub from PKS to the factions in the DPRD so that they can be closer to each other. If you don't know, it doesn't matter. If you don't love, don't vote," Yani said in Jakarta, Sunday, January 26.

"In later introductions, it can also be conveyed what the existing factions wish to be able to build input as cawagub to Nurmansjah," he added.

Yani is aware that even though Nurmansjah served as a member of the DKI DPRD for two terms, 60 percent of the 2019-2024 DPRD members are new faces, so it needs more introduction.

However, the old DPRD members, Yani believed, still had a personal closeness with Nurmansjah. They claimed they would vote and invite other members to vote for Nurmansjah.

"Pak Nurmansjah has been in parliament for a long time, 10 years. He has more value than the other candidates (Ahmad Riza Patria). This will be an opportunity, the old DKI DPRD members have an emotional connection, so they can all be ready to help win," he said. "said Yani.

If Nurmansjah will go to each faction, Riza is calmer. He felt that he did not need to do political lobbying with each faction to gain support from DPRD members. He said, his acquaintance with DPRD members could be done through digital media.

"There are no special lobbies, our discussions can be carried out through the media. Now this is a digital era. So, I have no special lobbying for DPRD members. We leave it completely to DPRD members," said Riza.
