PDIP Ready To Compete Against Ridwan Kamil In The Jakarta Gubernatorial Election And Dedi Mulyadi In West Java

JAKARTA - Secretary General of the PDI-P DPP (PDIP), Hasto Kristiyanto, ensured that the election of the Governor and Deputy Governor (Pilgub) of Jakarta and West Java will not fight empty boxes. PDIP is ready to compete with two gubernatorial candidates from the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), namely Ridwan Kamil in the Jakarta gubernatorial election and Dedi Mulyadi in the West Java gubernatorial election. PDIP is currently continuing to communicate with other political parties to build solid political cooperation. "PDI Perjuangan continues to build political communication with parties so that later in Jakarta there will be no empty boxes," said Hasto in Lenteng Agung, Jakarta, Saturday, August 3. Hasto emphasized that people's voices must be reflected in a healthy contestation. Moreover, Jakarta has an important and strategic role as a symbol of civilization in Indonesia. "Jakarta chaos also reflects how the chaotic problems in the legal field, for example, Jakarta must present a good leadership contestation," said Hasto. Hasto also responded to Ridwan Kamil's discourse that would run in the Jakarta gubernatorial election by KIM. PDIP really appreciates it if later Ridwan Kamil was truly carried in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. However, Hasto reminded PDIP also has strategic partners who will change the political constellation in Jakarta. "The continuous communication process is carried out, when there are parties who are not due to the support of the people then by the power to try to present a single candidate in Jakarta, of course it is not healthy for democracy, "explained Hasto.

Furthermore, Hasto ensured that PDIP would also prepare the figures to be carried in the North Sumatra and East Java gubernatorial elections. Therefore, PDIP will also not allow North Sumatra and East Java to fight the empty boxes. "Yes, the same is true, for North Sumatra and East Java, in the gubernatorial election there will be no empty boxes," concluded Hasto.
