Unlike Golkar, Gerindra Hasn't Thought Of Cagub DKI 2024

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Regional Leadership Council (DPD) of the DKI Jakarta Gerindra Party, Ahmad Riza Patria, admitted that his party has not yet determined the cadres or figures who will be promoted as candidates for Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada.

This is different from the Golkar Party which has targeted two of its cadres, namely Ahmed Zaki Iskandar and Ridwan Kamil to advance in the 2024 DKI Pilgub.

"From the DPP, to this day, we have not discussed internally regarding the DKI Jakarta Pilkada," Riza told reporters, Thursday, February 29.

Riza admitted that his party is still focused on overseeing the calculation of the votes for the presidential election and the Legislative Election of the DPR RI, the provincial DPRD, and the district/city DPRD for Gerindra.

"We, DKI Jakarta, are still focused on recaping the results of the presidential and legislative elections. So, all of us Gerindra DKI Jakarta are still focused, we haven't talked about the DKI Jakarta Pilkada," said Riza.

Furthermore, Riza also said that his party was still overseeing the political atmosphere in Jakarta until the inauguration process for the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia was elected in October.

Bearing in mind, in the results of the preliminary vote calculations of the General Election Commission (KPU) the presidential and vice-presidential candidates who were promoted, namely Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka outperformed the vote with a percentage above 50 percent.

"Our job is of course to continue to maintain, assist, oversee so that Indonesia's development during the Prabowo-Gibran era can realize what is the dream and is outlined in the program's vision and mission in the Advanced Indonesia Coalition," he added.
