JAKARTA - Chairman of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto, is considering carrying the Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep, to run in the Jakarta gubernatorial and deputy governorial elections (Pilgub) in November 2024.
Airlangga admitted that Kaesang was on the radar on the name exchange of the Golkar Party in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election.
"(Kaesang Pangarep masuk) Radar, semuanya masuk radar," ujar Airlangga di Istana Kepresidenan Jakarta, Kamis 20 Juni.
However, Airlangga did not straightforwardly confirm when his party would definitely carry President Joko Widodo's youngest son. "We'll see," he added.
