JAKARTA - NasDem Party politician Irma Suryani Chaniago said his party would announce the name of a presidential candidate who had been determined in September or October.

He said that the DPW-DPW proposed the names of presidential candidates because the General Chair of NasDem Surya Paloh said that currently the Indonesian people were divided, so the party wanted Indonesia to unite.

"Today we have five names and we will narrow down two names later. And two names later in September if not October we will definitely issue one name," said Irma on the sidelines of the NasDem National Working Meeting at the JCC, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday, June 16. .

The member of the DPR from the NasDem faction emphasized that for now his party cannot speak further regarding the nomination of the presidential candidate obtained from the DPW proposal. Because according to Irma, no coalition of political parties has been formed with NasDem.

"We are still only recruiting candidates who, according to NasDem, have the same platform," said Irma.

"NasDem is the home of the Indonesian people, so whoever, from any party, according to the community, has a high level of electability, NasDem will certainly support NasDem. Because NasDem is an open party, it doesn't have to be from the ABCD party. There is no problem for NasDem," he added.

Regarding DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, who was widely proposed by NasDem cadres, Irma again said that the party was waiting for a coalition that wanted to nominate the same figure. "Even if there is one name, of course, we have to get the coalition first. It's useless if we propose one name but there is no coalition party, later the result will be the same as what happened when the Golkar party held the convention. We proposed one name but it turned out that there was no way the candidate could not be brought forward. Of course that is will also be the basis for thinking of the NasDem party," he said.

"So that NasDem from the results of this National Working Meeting is certainly not in a hurry, we will also consolidate with other parties because NasDem is aware that it cannot stretch itself. So it is not certain that later if a name is raised but there is no coalition party, it will also be redundant," he said. Irma.
