JAKARTA - The General Treasurer of the NasDem Party, Ahmad Sahroni, said that he had never thought of running for regional head. He prefers to be president in the future.

This was conveyed by Sahroni when speaking at the NasDem Party structure consolidation event in the context of evaluating the 2024 General Election and strengthening the preparation structure for the Jakarta Regional Election, Sunday, June 23.

"And the governor's problem, the Jakarta NasDem Party, which represents three terms (in the DPR RI, ed), is indeed me. But brothers and sisters, I dream of becoming president. So it's not the governor. Think about governors and dreams never," said Sahroni at the NasDem Party State Defense Academy, Jakarta.

Instead of himself, Sahroni called Wibi Andrino the chairman of the NasDem Jakarta DPW as a candidate for deputy governor. "I don't know who the governor is, he's just the deputy governor. I agree more," said the Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR RI.

"Because being governor is not certain, you can't go anywhere. Everywhere you have to get permission. Now I'm looking at it hot, I can't be in Jakarta. I always walk, "he continued.

As previously reported, the Chairman of the NasDem Jakarta DPW, Wibi Andrino, revealed that there were three names proposed as Jakarta governors to the Chairman of Bappilu NasDem Prananda Surya Paloh. Their names are Anies Baswedan, Ahmad Sahroni, and himself.

"The NasDem Party yesterday on June 5, DKI Jakarta DPW has provided recommendations. Recommendations to Bappilu. There are three names. The first is our former governor, our former governor Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan. Second, Mr. Ahmad Sahroni. The third is me," Wibi said in a speech at the NasDem State Defense Academy, Jakarta, Sunday, June 23.

Wibi said he was not interested in running for the Jakarta gubernatorial election because he wanted to lead the Jakarta DPRD. However, he hopes Sahroni will nominate himself. "For me, in my small heart, I pray and hope that Bang Ahmad Saroni will come forward," he said.

"But how can you believe that he is a tough one. I ask for help from all of you later when he is present, please help push. Push, you know, not boost (drive until he falls). Driven, "concluded Wibi.
