JAKARTA - Chairman of the NasDem Party Surya Paloh said the chairman of the PDIP DPP who is also the chairman of the DPR RI, Puan Maharani, was on the radar of his party's presidential candidate.

He conveyed this after holding a political meeting with the PDIP group led by Puan Maharani today, Monday, August 22. Laughing, Surya said, there's no way the name of the daughter of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri won't be on the radar.

"It's been like this when it's not on the radar," he told reporters at a press conference at NasDem Tower, Gondangdia, Central Jakarta.

Surya admitted that this meeting also saw Puan's potential as a presidential candidate. However, he did not want to rush because all decisions were made based on future developments.

"I'll take a look at the arrival of this Mbak Puan. Ms. Puan, the check has a check, apparently she is also a nephew. Let's see future developments," he said.

Furthermore, Surya said that the results of the National Working Meeting from his party which carried three names, namely Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, and TNI Commander Andika Perkasa could change. Moreover, the dynamics can still occur.

However, he also cannot prevent Puan from running as a presidential candidate in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

"Personally, subjectively, I can't prohibit Mbak Puan from running (as a presidential candidate, ed)," he said.

"Not yet (there is a new name proposed, red) but I definitely support it," he concluded.
