BOGOR - The NasDem Party initiated a new axis by cooperating with PKS and the Golkar Party so that the Regional Head Election or Regional Head Election in Bogor Regency, West Java, took place without empty boxes or only a single candidate pair (paslon). "The basis for a strong understanding between NasDem, PKS and Golkar is to ensure that there are no empty boxes in the Pilkada in Bogor Regency. Why? Because of this healthy democratic tradition, we must maintain it in Bogor Regency," said Deputy Chairman of the West Java Provincial DPW NasDem Party Asep Wahyuwijaya alias Kang AW in Cibinong, Antara, Wednesday, August 14. This new axis will later fight the coalition formed by the Gerindra Party in the Bogor Regency Pilkada. Prabowo Subianto's party with a capital of 12 seats in the 2024 Legislative Election (Pileg) could carry the candidate pairs for regent and deputy regent in the upcoming Pilkada. Kang AW said that NasDem, PKS, and Golkar had agreed to carry Ade Ruhandi alias Jaro Ade to contest the prospective regent from the Gerindra Party, Rudy Susmanto. "The variable determinant Jaro Ade, at least NasDem has been studied quite deeply. In terms of the authenticity of his figure and political career journey, which departed from the village head to become a member of the DPRD in Bogor Regency, became the head of the commission to become the chairman of the Bogor Regency DPRD," he explained. He considered that Jaro Ade, who had participated in the Bogor Regency Pilkada in 2018, had a clear track record of capacity and competence. "Therefore NasDem, PKS and Golkar also understand that Jaro Ade deserves us to support together. Facing the election agenda, as I conveyed in front of PKS and Golkar as well, for NasDem it is very simple," said Kang AW. Regarding the figure of Jaro Ade's companion in the Bogor Regency Pilkada, the three parties only discussed the possibility of PKS politician Agus Salim as a candidate. In addition, he ensured that NasDem did not ask for a single dowry or administrative costs for matters of providing recommendations up to B1 KWK. Because, he said, NasDem was not a rent-seeking political party.

According to him, NasDem only wants to ensure that the figures promoted by his party in the Pilkada provide the best benefits and efforts for residents of Bogor Regency. "So, if someone claims that NasDem can be paid or will only provide B1KWK with transactional reasons and ignore the substance of the mandate for the good of Bogor Regency residents, I make sure it's a hoax," said Kang AW asserted.
