DENPASAR - Acting (Pj) Bali Governor Sang Made Mahendra Jaya stated that he had absolutely no thoughts on advancing regarding the news that the Golkar Party included his name in the 2024 Pilkada Bali Governor Candidate Exchange.

"Frankly, I'm not political, I don't think there (the 2024 regional head), just think no," he was quoted as saying by ANTARA, Thursday, April 18.

In a hurry to get to the car after Dharma Santi's religious moderation event in Taman Budaya, the Acting Governor of Bali tried to respond positively and thanked him when he found out that his name was a candidate who would be surveyed by the Golkar Party.

"I never thought and until now I have no interest, I don't thank you very much," he said.

The information is that the Made Mahendra Jaya, a retired police officer who was once the Special Staff of the Minister of Home Affairs, is included in the market for Candidates for Governor of Bali who wants to be promoted by the Golkar Party.

Deputy Chairperson of the Organization, Cadreization and Membership Division (OKK) of the Bali Golkar Party DPD Dewa Made Suamba Negara said the name of the acting governor appeared as a candidate from a non-party.

"He has potential, as our party, the lyrics of Balinese people have potential, so there is Mr. Rai Dharmawijaya as a leader, Mr. Gredeg and Mr. PJ," he said.

The process of nominating is also still long, until now the Golkar Party has not decided on the name of the leading figure because the names that have been filtered will be filtered back through the survey.

Suamba said that the first phase of the survey process will take place this April, and then be filtered again so that it reduces to the name of the best candidate to be carried out in the 2024 Pilkada on 27 November.
