Chairman of the NasDem Party Leadership Council (DPP) Willy Aditya admitted that his party has not been able to decide who the cadres will be promoted as candidates for regional heads in the West Java and Central Java gubernatorial elections.

"Indeed, West Java and Central Java are a bit of homework," said Willy when met at NasDem Tower, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, May 28.

Willy said that the competition for governor candidates in the two provinces on the island of Java was quite difficult for NasDem. Remember, NasDem does not have an incumbent in Central Java.

NasDem also doubts the chance of victory if he carries a candidate in West Java when he will face former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil if he is promoted by the Golkar Party.

"West Java, friends know, the former (gubernur). In the past, we proposed Ridwan Kamil, of course, a separate homework for the Nasdem party in this Pilkada," he said.

Therefore, NasDem is currently communicating with a number of other political parties to discuss opportunities for a coalition to nominate candidates for governor and deputy governor in the two provinces.

"Now we are exploring communication with all political parties. There are Gerindra, PKS, we all communicate openly which ones can then meet each other's chemistry, of course we can't force this," explained Willy.

Meanwhile, NasDem plans to carry internal cadres in the DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election. Then, for the East Java Pilkada, NasDem opens up opportunities to participate in carrying Khofifah Indar Parawansa-Emil Dardak.

The decision to carry out the two provinces will be determined after the plenary meeting of NasDem administrators at the regional level.
