Each political party in KIB will submit the names of potential candidates at the KIB meeting. Whoever the names will be will be notified later,” he said .
Viva emphasized that PAN proposed its general chairman, Zulkifli Hasan. It is possible that he will also nominate cadres outside the party, one of which is SOE Minister Erick Thohir.
