JAKARTA - West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil wants to run in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. But to get to this stage he needed a political vehicle to a large financial capital.

His experience of participating in the West Java Pilkada twice made Kang Emil, Ridwan Kamil's nickname, have his own calculations of financial capital to move forward. At least, in the pocket of the number one person in West Java, there are trillions of rupiah.

"Logistics, it's expensive, trillions of dollars to become president. I did research, Rp. 8 trillion, where did I get Rp. 8 trillion from?," said Kang Emil in the Fisipol Leadership Forum: Road to 2024 discussion, followed by Fisipol UGM YouTube, Friday, December 3.

Kang Emil added that there are at least three things that a candidate must have in the 2024 presidential election. First, electability and preference, secondly logistics and finally the party that carries it. For electability capital, Kang Emil made sure that his figure had this.

As for the party, he is still waiting to join the right one. The color of the party must clearly be Pancasila.

"That's why I have decided next year I will join a political party which color or this tablecloth or the color of the security guard's shirt or the red hijab. I don't know yet. But what is certain is that Pancasilais I will be there. Because I think Pancasila is a fixed price, it shouldn't be too harsh. the left should not be too right, the politics of the middle way that I chose," he explained.

However, said Emil, he knew himself to be promoted by the party to become a presidential candidate. If no political party requests it, then he ensures that he will run for the 2024 West Java gubernatorial election.

"But I also know myself. I have to know who you are carrying by the party, not sure, not a member, so if you don't, then you have to accept it. If there is no party that carries the most realistic in my menu, it is to continue the second volume of governor,"

"But if there is a party that needs a figure with decent electability, maybe my figure will be counted, yes, I'm bismillah," explained Kang Emil.
