The General Treasurer of the NasDem Party, Ahmad Sahroni, emphasized that he was not interested in advancing in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. However, this condition could change if he was ordered by the General Chairperson of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh.

"Ketum hasn't asked about the issue of the Governor of Jakarta, so I can't make assumptions yet," Sahroni told reporters at the NasDem State Defense Academy, Jakarta, Sunday, June 23.

"But if the general chairman directly conveys to be asked, for example, his name as a cadre, you are indeed the general chairman of the order to come forward, yes, like it or not," continued the Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR RI.

Likewise, if asked to be a candidate for deputy governor. According to him, the figure of NasDem Jakarta DPW chairman Wibi Andrino is more suitable.

Moreover, Sahroni prefers to be a member of the council in the DPR RI. "But our name is as cadres who must be ruled by the general chairman, on the orders of the general chairman, you must want to," he said.

"But, ed) if the order (to be, ed) our deputy governor dares to refuse. But if you become governor, you don't dare," said Sahroni.

They are former Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan, General Treasurer of the NasDem Party Ahmad Sahroni, and himself.

"The NasDem Party yesterday on June 5, DKI Jakarta DPW has provided recommendations," Wibi said in his remarks at the consolidation event of the DPW NasDem Jakarta Party, Sunday, June 23.

Wibi said he was not interested in advancing in the Jakarta gubernatorial election because he wanted to lead the Jakarta DPRD. So, he hopes that Sahroni will nominate himself.

"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.
