JAKARTA - The National Mandate Party (PAN) plans to announce presidential and vice presidential candidates during a national working meeting (Rakernas) at Istora Senayan, Jakarta today, Saturday, August 27.

Deputy Chairperson of PAN Yandri Susanto revealed that there are a number of names that have strengthened, such as PAN General Chair Zulkifli Hasan, SOE Minister Erick Thohir to Ganjar Pranowo who is the Governor of Central Java. The name was encouraged by regional administrators.

"Yang banyak disebut seluruh daerah, kabupaten kota dan provinsi itu ada namanya Ketum Bang Zulkifli Hasan nomor satu, ketum PAN, yang kedua ada pak Erick Thohir, ada Ganjar," kata Yandri kepada wartawan di Hotel bantu-Carlton Jakarta, Sabtu, 27 Agustus.

In addition, there are the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan, the Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil, and the Governor of East Java Khofifah Indar Parawansa. This name will later be discussed internally before it is announced.

The announcement will be made at the peak of the National Working Meeting at Istora Senayan.

"That's what the favorites are, we will discuss later this afternoon, who will be mentioned by the chairman at Istora Senayan at 8 pm, today we will decide," said Yandri.

Even so, Yandri does not want to talk much about who may be elected. The reason is that PAN General Chair Zulkifli Hasan who has been given the mandate to choose who the presidential and vice-presidential candidates are.

"Later on, the name recommended by the National Working Meeting in 2022 has given a full mandate to the chairman to determine who the presidential and vice-presidential candidates are," he concluded.
