Sandiaga Wants To Contest The 2024 Presidential Election, Riang Is Happy, Not Competing With Hostilities

Menparekraf Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno wants political contestation in Indonesia to run cool, far from polarization. Sandiaga wants the public to enjoy the ongoing political process without any hostility.

"I want us to focus on it so that the contestation in this country is safe, cool, and this democratic contestation is brought with joy. So I convey that in the future we will collaborate more, the colors of this representation will continue to be built," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, July 26.

Sandiaga admitted that he remains focused on continuing to work according to his capacity as Menparekraf.

"I focus on the economy, where we can create jobs, ensure that the household economy, and the cost of life is maintained. That is the focus of the government in the future," he said.

Sandiaga was reluctant to express his opinion regarding the issue of his candidacy which was predicted to accompany Ganjar Pranowo as a vice presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

Sandiaga said the political decision to determine the vice presidential candidate was the domain of party leaders.

"It's not in the capacity to judge yourself. I want to convey that the choice is in the hands of the leaders of political parties. I hope that we pay our respects so that once the choice is handed down, we fight for the best interests of the Republic of Indonesia, especially in the economic sector, can be achieved," said Sandi Uno.
