hairman of the NasDem Party Surya Paloh said the party had yet to decide who would be the candidate for the 2014 presidential election.
Surya said that the new political party would first focus on educating voters ahead of the 2014 general elections.
He also said NasDem would first gauge public opinion as to who would be the best candidates to represent the party.
Earlier this month, Surya said he was ready to run for president in the upcoming election.
“Run for president, why not? I am ready to compete. But first, NasDem must succeed in the election,” Surya, who only recently took over the party’s leadership.
NasDem is the only new party approved to participate in the 2014 elections. Surya, who cofounded the party following his exit from the Golkar Party, is said to have presidential ambitions though he was never listed among the top potential presidential candidates according to several pollsters.
