NTB to Run Governor Election

The people of NTB will elect their governor next July. Currently, there are four candidates running for the election, according to official statement by KPUD (Provincial Election Committee).

The four candidates are (in sort order) Nanang Samodra, Zainy Arony, Zainul Majdi (also known as TGH. Bajang) and Lalu Serinata.

While the process can be said smooth, there are some cases that really needs attention. Serinata, who is now an incumbent, is facing accused of corruption when he was still chairman of DPRD.

Lombok tourism may become bigger than before. But of course, it will depend on support by government in making good strategies, and local people support.
