PPP: Ridwan Kamil Has Long Been Monitored By KIB To Be Carried In The 2024 Presidential Election

JAKARTA - The chairman of the PPP DPP Achmad Baidowi or Awiek admitted that Ridwan Kamil (RK) had long been targeted by the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) to be promoted in the 2024 presidential election. RK finally closed to the Golkar Party. "RK (Ridwan Kamil) is indeed one of the figures monitored by KIB to be carried in other presidential elections, apart from other figures, for a long time," said Awiek in Jakarta, Friday, January 20.

Awiek said PPP was listed as one of the supporters of RK in the 2018 West Java Governor Election (Pilgub). Nevertheless, he continued, PPP respects RK for making its choice to become a Golkar cadre.

"This is RK's political right. Because he had not previously participated. When the gubernatorial election was carried in pairs with the PPP cadre, namely Pak Uu," said Awiek.

It is known that Ridwan Kamil, who is currently serving as Uu Ruzhanul Ulum, was promoted by PPP in the 2018 West Java gubernatorial election.

In addition to the party bearing the Kaaba, PKB, Nasdem, and Hanura also support the pair who finally experienced maximum votes in the selection of the number 1 and 2 people in West Java. The RK-UU pair defeated the pair Tubagus Hasanuddin-Anton Charliyan, Sudrajat-Ahmad Syaikhu, and the Deddy Mizwar-Dedi Mulyadi pair in the 2018 West Java gubernatorial election.
