PDIP Considers Ridwan Kamil-Jokowi's Meeting To Have No Effect, DKI Gubernatorial Election Still Sees Characteristics

JAKARTA - Chairman of the PDIP DPP Said Abdullah, assessed that the meeting of Cagub Ridwan Kamil and the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, last night, would not affect the vote acquisition of the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. Because according to him, the public will see the figures of the candidate for governor who contested it.

This, according to Said, was based on his experience in advancing for the 2024 Legislative Election. Where his voice did not affect the election of the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo in his constituency in Madura, East Java.

In fact, Said is a candidate with the largest vote acquisition in Indonesia.

"Even though we were elected as members of the DPR, we couldn't later because our elected figure seemed to be big, brought carriages, you know. He said I (I) had the biggest vote in the Republic, but when the gubernatorial election was still the character we saw, not how many votes Pilleg brought. Simple, "said Said, Tuesday, November 19.

Therefore, Said believes, even though behind Ridwan Kamil there is Jokowi's support, it does not mean that the people of Jakarta will fully choose the RIDO pair.

In fact, Said appreciated Jokowi's political stance as a former president and former governor of Jakarta who had made his choice for the 2024 Pilkada.

"I am grateful that Pak Jokowi is next door because for us, because Pak Jokowi's status is the 7th president, he has freedom. Fairness, it. Competing healthily. Jakarta is a Republican storefront, don't be littered by those outside the context of the rules of the game," said the PDIP legislator for the electoral district of East Java XI.

Said is also optimistic that candidate pair number 03, Pramono Anung-Rano Karno, who was promoted by PDIP, will be able to win the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election contestation. In fact, he said, Mas Pram and Bang Doel could win in one round on 27 November.

He is not worried that one of his cadres, Effendi Simbolon, openly supports Ridwan Kamil-Suswono.

"In my opinion, the phenomenon is that from various surveys and public acceptances below for Pramono Anung and Doel won. Even their positions can be 52 to 53 percent. Whatever, say that from there, in RK, there are a thousand Effendi Simbolon for example, yes, if Pramono Anung wins Pramono-Si Doel. That's all right. Mas Pram and Bang Doel, God willing, will win the Jakarta gubernatorial election battle," said Said.

"Because from the start, if you look at the trend, Mas Pram and Bang Doel's trend has increased from various institutions. And that's the first, of course, the party structure moves massively, volunteers move massively, civil society also moves at one estuary on the 27th to win Mas Pram and Bang Doel," he concluded.
