Anies Baswedan Is Not Strong Enough, Gibran 'Jokowi' Rakabuming Is Considered To Have A Big Chance In The DKI Regional Election
JAKARTA - Executive Director of the Indonesian Public Institute (IPI) Karyono Wibowo, assesses that Gibran Rakabuming Raka has a high chance of running for the governorship of DKI Jakarta.
However, the mayor of Solo must work extra hard to improve his achievements and track record as a capable regional head.
"Gibran has quite a lot of opportunities in DKI Jakarta, but we have to look at his competitors. For example, against Anies, then other figures, he has to work hard and convince the voters or the people of DKI Jakarta," Karyono told VOI, Tuesday, September 14.
According to him, President Joko Widodo's eldest son (Jokowi) will win the 2024 DKI Pilkada if he manages to carve a legacy of achievements while leading the city of Solo.
Karyono said Governor Anies Baswedan was not strong enough to run again in the upcoming Jakarta governor election.

"It would be easier if Gibran already had a legacy. Actually, Anies isn't very strong as governor, so Gibran's chances are quite big," he said.
In addition, he continued, Gibran must have a concrete policy breakthrough that can be seen by many people and can be felt by the community.
"So we don't just rely on popularity, but we also have to rely on achievement, performance, capacity, and capability," said Karyono.
