Political observer from Al Azhar University Indonesia, Ujang Komarudin, said that the Nasdem convention would target figures with high electability. He believes that the party created by Surya Paloh will be realistic in determining the winner of the presidential convention.

One that will be targeted is non-party figures with high electability. For example, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedanwed

In addition, NasDem is also preparing to meet the presidential nomination threshold. Among them, establish good communication with other political parties.

"The convention also opens up opportunities for more than two pairs of presidential candidates (candidates)," said the secretary of the NasDem faction in the DPR.

However, NasDem has not specifically named the figures. Because, depending on the registration and the results of the convention later.
