SURABAYA - The Presidential Candidate (Capres) Ganjar Pranowo will continue his habit of staying in the village ahead of the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres). Ganjar visited Kampung Nagrok, Muncang Village, Sodonghilir District, Tasikmalaya, West Java last Monday night to review and inaugurate the assistance of drilling wells distributed. "Yes, I want to know about clean water access assistance. Because at first I got a story that in Tasikmalaya there is a village that is difficult to get clean water," he said in a statement received, Antara, Tuesday, October 10. The assistance of drilling wells for Muncang Village can help facilitate clean water in three hamlets. "Hopefully the assistance will be useful. Residents will no longer have trouble with clean water," he said. After the dialogue with residents, Siti Atikoh's husband then spent the night at a resident's house. As is known, while serving as Governor of Central Java, Ganjar often stayed at people's homes. Ganjar took advantage of this time to absorb aspirations and hear complaints from residents directly. In addition to ensuring that the programs run, Ganjar also gets a lot of input from residents regarding various kinds of problems, such as education issues, damaged roads, to access to health and education. Kampung Nagrok is a more remote area compared to Muncang Village in West Java. Information from local residents, local officials have never even set foot in Nagok. So that the arrival of Ganjar that night was very unexpected for the residents. All the villagers have gathered since the afternoon to welcome Ganjar. As soon as they arrived, the cheers of thousands of people welcomed Ganjar and his entourage. The arrival of the white-haired politician has indeed been awaited. This is because Ganjar has realized the expectations of residents who have longed for clean water for decades. Ganjar built an artesis water installation so that residents now do not need to transport water from a distant source. One of the residents of Muncang Herlan Village admitted that he did not expect Ganjar to come to his village. "It still feels like I don't believe it, it's like a dream that Pak Ganjar can get here," he said. According to him, Ganjar is a good person and close to the people. The proof is that he wants to gather to sit together with the residents and eat together. In fact, Ganjar also stayed at a resident's house in a remote village.

"Our village has never been visited by district officials, but Pak Ganjar wants to come all the way to see us is extraordinary," he said.
