Often Goes To The Market, United Karanganyar Pedangang Supports Sudaryono In The Central Java Gubernatorial Election

JAKARTA - Dozens of traders from the Kebakkramat Market, Karangayar, held a declaration of support for the chairman of the Central Java Gerindra Party DPD, Sudaryono, to run as a Candidate for Governor of Central Java 2024.

Support was conveyed because they believed that the former personal assistant to the elected president Prabowo Subianto was a leader who was able to bring Jateng Maju Mapan. Then, they also believe Sudaryono will bring prosperity to market traders.

"My friends and I here unanimously support Mas Dar (Sudaryono's nickname) because I believe he will do something to make traditional markets no less selling well with modern and online markets," said Mrs. Waliyem, a representative of Pegadang Pasar Kebakkaramat, Karanganyar, Central Java, Wednesday, July 10.

According to Mrs. Waliyem, many people in Karanganyar depend on traditional market activities. Therefore, he assessed that by returning traditional markets as a center for people's buying and selling, Sudaryono meant helping the survival of market participants.

"If traditional markets can compete with modern markets and online markets, sales will be crowded with buyers. Many will benefit, not only traders, but parking attendants, motorcycle taxi drivers, porters, food stalls, and others," he said.

More than that, Mrs. Waliyem admitted that she and her fellow market traders gave this support because Sudaryono had been paying a lot of attention to them. One of them is capital assistance through the Warung Juang program. This interestless and usury assistance is very helpful for traders.

"He often goes down to traditional markets to listen to complaints and what the players need. If we lack capital, he helps soft loans without interest," explained Waliyem's mother.

This support from traders was conveyed to a number of administrators of the Karanganyar Regency Indonesian Fighter Traders (Papera) who were conducting blusukan at the Kebakkaramat Market. Papera itself is a wing organization of the Gerindra Party.

Ana Sari Handayani, Chairman of the DPC Papera Karanganyar Regency expressed her gratitude for the trust of the Kebakkaramat Market traders who supported Sudaryono. Ana Sari emphasized that Sudaryono is ready to stand with traditional market leaders to show advanced and established Central Java.

"Mas Dar will maintain the mandate of the leaders as well as possible. For Mas Dar, the market leader in Central Java is part of his family. He will definitely be sad if he sees that there are still market officials who have not yet prospered," said Ana Sari.
