JAKARTA - Social Minister Tri Rismaharini responded to the question of the potential for his name to be promoted in the DKI Jakarta Regional Head Election (Pilkada). He emphasized that there had never been a discussion about this and he also did not want to make assumptions.

"Once again, I never imagined what I would become. Because for me, this position cannot be asked for," Risma told reporters at the PDIP DPP Party School, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta, Wednesday, June 22.

Risma emphasized that she is now fully concentrating on her duties and responsibilities as a minister. After all, he never pursued a position.

"When I started from the first to the second I became mayor, even yesterday I didn't even know the minister because I wasn't informed either," he said.

Besides having to be responsible as a minister, continued Risma, he is also currently focusing on carrying out his position as Chair of the PDIP DPP for Culture.

"I am still concentrating on how these people can (get, ed) better economic access," he said.

"But once again, I say it's not my wish or dream or anything. Nothing. Not at all. Because for me that position should not be asked for," added Risma.

As previously reported, the term of office of the Governor of DKI Jakarta will expire in October 2022. He will later be replaced by a temporary acting.

Furthermore, the 2024 Pilkada will be held on June 14 to find 272 regional heads in Indonesia.
