JAKARTA - Former Bogor Mayor Bima Arya is on the list of candidates who will be encouraged by the National Mandate Party (PAN) to advance to the West Java gubernatorial election.

This was revealed by PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan at the Media Lunch event at the PAN DPP Building, Jakarta, Tuesday, April 23.

PAN prioritizes its cadres to advance. In West Java there is Bima Arya, Desy Ratnasari. So, prioritizing our cadres, said the man who is familiarly called Zulhas.

Bima Arya himself is one of the PAN cadres. Currently, the mayor of the two periods served as Chairman of the PAN DPP. Much earlier, Bima was one of the declarators of the establishment of PAN in 1998. At that time, Bima was appointed Secretary of the DPD PAN of Bandung City for the 1998-2000 period.

In response, Bima Arya admitted that he had to be ready when the party asked him to continue his higher service in West Java.

"Ketum has conveyed the direction, as a cadre, I must definitely be ready. But, first, it's still a bit long, there are still names prepared by the Ketum, so I think now I want permission from my family," explained Bima Arya.

He said that before he decided to run as Mayor of Bogor in the 2013 Pilkada, Bima Arya asked his parents for permission.

"If you don't allow it, I won't move forward. Now my mother is gone, then I will give permission to my mother-in-law, I will ask my wife and children for opinions," said Bima.

The signal from Zulhas, which placed Bima Arya in West Java, also answered Bima Arya's next step.

"I will tell (to the family) that today the Ketum was ordered as one of the names that will be pushed to West Java, not to Jakarta because so far I have often been asked, 'Kang Bima is going to Jakarta or West Java?'. My friends heard the Ketum's orders. I interpret it, get ready to go to West Java," he explained.
