JAKARTA - The NasDem Party canceled carrying Kaesang Pangarep to partner with Ahmad Luthfi in the Central Java gubernatorial election. Therefore, NasDem participated in carrying Luthfi and Taj Yasin Maimoen who were promoted by the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) as candidates for Governor-Deputy Governor of Central Java.

"Yes, we are in Central Java with Pak Luthfi and Pak Taj Yasin," said NasDem politician Saan Mustopa when met at the Jakarta Convention Center, Tuesday, August 27.

Earlier on Monday, August 19, NasDem submitted the B.1-KWK form to Luthfi to pair up with Kaesang.

Furthermore, on Tuesday, August 20, the Constitutional Court issued a case decision number 70/PUU-XXII/2024. The Constitutional Court rejected the lawsuit for changing the age limit for regional head candidates, so that the candidate for governor-deputy governor must at least 30 years during the determination of the candidate.

Based on the Constitutional Court's decision, President Joko Widodo's son certainly could not run as a cagub-cawagub which was previously accommodated by the decision of the Supreme Court (MA). When the candidate pair was determined, Kaesang was not 30 years old.

In fact, Kaesang has submitted a certificate to the Central Jakarta District Court as a condition for advancing as a candidate for regional head in the regional elections.

Among them, the aurat is a certificate never as a defendant, the certificate is not being revoked on the voter list, and the certificate has no debt responsibilities.
