TEMPO.CO, Jakarta-Chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, said that his party only has two seats at the Jakarta Regional Representatives. Therefore, PAN cannot propose a candidate on its own in the upcoming Jakarta Gubernatorial Election.
He added that PAN has already had 2 governor candidates, including Bojonegoro District Head, Suyoto. Zulkifli said that Suyoto has managed to battle poverty in Bojonegoro.
“But PAN cannot run on its own. Therefore, we try to approach other parties,” he said Sunday, June 26, 2016. “We approach all parties.”
Zulkifli added that PAN will continue backing its candidates when proposing for other party’s support. “They can either accept pour candidate, or not, but we will say it anyway,” he said.
