“We have only received four names,” Isvie said in Mataram, NTB, Tuesday (25/7) as quoted from Antara.
It is known that the positions of NTB Governor Zulkieflimansyah and his deputy Sitti Rohmi Djalilah will end on September 19, 2023.
Isvie emphasized that his party would accept all suggestions related to the Acting Governor submitted by the community to the NTB DPRD.
“There will be no rejection. So if there are people who want to make a proposal, please submit it to the NTB DPRD,” he said.

In addition, he said the NTB DPRD had received a letter from the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding the instructions for the mechanism for selecting the Acting Governor of NTB.
“We have received a letter from the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri),” said Isvie.
He said in the letter the Ministry of Home Affairs had given the NTB DPRD a deadline to draft the names of the Acting Governor (Pj) no later than August 9, 2023.
“So on August 9, 2023 a recommendation letter must be sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs,” he said.
Isvie said that currently the letter from the Ministry of Home Affairs was being reviewed by the DPRD but the regulations did not explain whether it was functional or not.
“What is clear is that there is no functional explanation for Primary Echelon I. We are currently reviewing it, because we were given authority to only three names which were then proposed to the Minister of Home Affairs,” said Isvie.
According to him, so far preparations have been on track and currently his party is building communications with various parties. Especially reviewing the letter related to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
“In the regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs that he received, the criteria are stated, namely the position of middle-high leadership, and have experience. So those who meet those requirements. After all, it will be the president who determines it later,” he explained.
