Chairman of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) of the NasDem Party Prananda Surya Paloh emphasized that his party prioritizes internal cadres to be promoted in the 2024 DKI Jakarta Governor and Deputy Governor Election.

That way, the opportunity for former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to be carried by NasDem in the DKI Regional Head Election is relatively small.

"If DKI is a special (regional) name, it takes time and thinking specifically. But I think of course we prioritize cadres," said Prananda at NasDem Tower, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, May 28.

Prananda said that the two NasDem cadres who were arrested to be promoted in this year's Jakarta Pilkada, namely the General Treasurer of NasDem Ahmad Sahroni and the Chairman of the Regional Leadership Council (DPD) NasDem Wibi Andrino.

However, the son of the General Chairperson of NasDem Surya Paloh did not rule out the opportunity to carry Anies. This will be known after the Bappilu NasDem plenary meeting in recommending a candidate for regional head.

"It's possible (to carry Anies). This is very dynamic. Mr. Anies maybe, Mr. Roni maybe, my cousin is Wibi Andrino maybe," he said.

Prananda also revealed that NasDem is still opening up the space for coalitions against other political parties (political parties) that have passed the DKI Jakarta DPRD legislative election to carry candidate pairs in the 2024 Pilkada.

"Of course we are dynamic. But yes, regional interests are certainly more important than the coalition itself in my opinion. But indeed we are open to anyone and we will form a coalition with anyone for the good of DKI," he explained.

Meanwhile, the PKS DKI Jakarta Regional Leadership Council (DPW) proposed to return to support Anies Baswedan as a candidate for the Governor of DKI Jakarta 2024 as during the 2017 Pilkada.

Chairman of the DKI Jakarta PKS DPW Khoirudin admitted that his party had met with Anies to reveal his proposal. When met, Anies, called Khoirudin, warmly welcomed the offer.

"Before this proposal, the DKI Jakarta PKS DPW had an informal discussion with Mr. Anies and was warmly welcomed," said Khoirudin, Friday, May 24.

However, before the investigation of the former Governor of DKI Jakarta was realized, the DKI PKS DPW was still waiting for the approval of the PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) on the proposal.

"The decision of the DKI PKS DPW is proposing to a DPP like that. It is the authority of the DPP to accept or reject (the proposal to carry Anies in the 2024 DKI gubernatorial election)," explained Khoirudin.
