PDIP Proposes Andika To Be Jakarta Cagub, PKB: Only Mr. Anies Has A Forward Electoral In DKI

JAKARTA - PKB responded to the PDIP which was considering carrying out the former TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa as a candidate for governor (cagub) in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

According to the Deputy Chairperson of the PKB, Jazilul Fawaid, only Anies has the electoral to run in the Jakarta gubernatorial election.

"For PKB, only Mr. Anies has the electoral to advance in DKI, unless maybe two or three days there are new figures," said Jazilul at the PAN DPP office, South Jakarta, Wednesday, July 3.

Nevertheless, Jazilul said, Andika's proposal to run for the Jakarta gubernatorial election was just a discourse. He reminded that the dynamics of the Pilkada are still very fluid.

"Yes, that's just a plan, Mr. Andika has never spoken, right, that's what I think everything is still fluid," he said.

Previously, the chairman of the PDIP DPP, Utut Adianto, assessed that the former TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa was not suitable to become a candidate for deputy governor (cawagub) accompanying Anies Baswedan. According to him, Andika is suitable as a candidate for governor.

"For Mr. Anies and Mr. Andika, I don't know if this is also a proposal from the PDI-P. If it is mentioned, I don't want to argue with our party cadres. If the proposal comes from anywhere," said Utut at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, July 3.

"But Mr. Andika is the commander of the TNI, if he is the deputy governor, he will save me later, I don't think it's right. If he wants to be governor," he continued.
