Jakarta Gubernatorial Election 2024, Sandiaga Waits For PPP's Task Letter Even Though Volunteers Are Urgent

KEDIRI - Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno confirmed that he was waiting for an order from the United Development Party (PPP) regarding his certainty that he would run in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial and deputy governorial elections (Pilgub). This also confirmed the pressure from a number of volunteers for Sandi to run for the Jakarta gubernatorial election.

The man who is familiarly called Sandi emphasized that he is still focused on completing his duties as minister of tourism and the creative economy (menparekraf) which will end his position in the next few months.

"If there is no assignment letter, then I will still focus on the ministry," said Sandiaga Uno in Kediri, East Java, Saturday, June 22.

Sandiaga admitted that until now many volunteers have encouraged him to run in the 2024 Pilkada. Apart from the Jakarta gubernatorial election, he said, the volunteers also pushed for his name to appear in the East Java gubernatorial election.

As a former election participant for the previous year in Jakarta, according to him, the process must wait for a party assignment letter. "Experience is because I used to be a former election participant, so the process must have a letter of assignment from the party. To this day I have not received a letter of assignment," he explained.

He hopes that the simultaneous regional elections held this year will be cool and peaceful, bringing about the ideas of the nation's progress. "I certainly hope that our regional elections will be cool and peaceful. The contestants provide ideas that can advance Indonesia Gold 2045," he concluded.
