        "summary": "NasDem's central leadership, led by Saan Mustofa, undertook a 15-day Ramadan safari focused on Java to shore up support amid concerns over the party's weaker performance there. They reiterated a 2029 target of 100 DPR RI seats and top-three placement, urging unity across Java, particularly West Java, to tackle an electability gap. The push underscores NasDem's bid to convert national-level optimism into regional gains ahead of the 2029 elections.",
        "content": "<p>For 15 days, the NasDem DPP delegation led by Deputy Chairman Saan\nMustofa conducted a Ramadan safari focused on Java. The activities were\nfocused on Java. Saan said during the visits they held gatherings with\ncadres, kiai, and the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Why Java region? In Java there are 39 electoral districts (Dapil).\nIn the 2024 election, out of 39 Dapil, 27 were filled, leaving 12 \u2014 four\nin East Java (Jatim), three in Central Java (Jateng) and three in West\nJava (Jabar),\u2019 Saan said on Saturday, 7 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that Java is the region contributing the most Dapil. For\nthat reason, the Ramadan safari was conducted in Java. Besides courting\nsupport, they are also trying to raise their electability.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Our average electability is 6 percent after the elections. Usually\nafter the first and second elections we measure 2.5-3 percent; in the\nthird election it rose by almost 100 percent to 6 percent,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, from 6 percent, when broken down to Java it averages 2\npercent and that is below the national average.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There is an extraordinary gap. This is a big PR issue to be\naddressed, and this is the instruction of the General Chairman that 2029\nshould be the focus of all NasDem components across Java. If Java is\nindeed NasDem\u2019s weak base compared with others,\u2019 he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Saan said that for the 2029 elections the NasDem General Chairman,\nSurya Paloh, targets 100 seats in the DPR RI.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The chairman targets 100 seats and wants to be in the top three;\nfrom the three elections we have not yet reached the top three and we\nhave not yet obtained 100 seats in the DPR RI, but the target is getting\ncloser,\u2019 he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In the first election we trailed by 64 seats, in the second by 42\nseats, and in the third by 31 seats, so we are getting closer to the\nchairman\u2019s target. The same applies to the first election where we were\nninth, second fourth, and the third still in the top four; the target is\nthe top three. Not impossible to achieve, because our vote share is\napproaching the chairman\u2019s target,\u2019 Saan added.<\/p>\n<p>To NasDem cadres in West Java, Saan urged them to stay solid and win\nNasDem\u2019s third place in West Java and nationally.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This is an effort, an effort targeted by the chairman, and our\nshared target is to place NasDem in the top three. Let us manage this\nparty with care; I urge us to strengthen our commitment, with united\nresolve for 2029. NasDem West Java in the top three, all Dapil filled in\nDPR RI, provinces and regencies\/cities,\u2019 he concluded.<\/p>",
