JAKARTA - Chair of the East Java Golkar DPD, Sarmuji, stated that the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) has a strong possibility of carrying Golkar General Chair Airlangga Hartarto as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election.
He also believes that Airlangga will win the presidential election as long as there are four axes in the 2024 election. "The opportunity for Pak Airlangga to be promoted by KIB to become president is very open," said Sarmuji in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Friday, June 24.
In fact, he continued, the three general chairmen of the political parties who are members of the KIB have discussed the presidential candidate. However, said Sarmuji, the name of the presidential candidate from KIB is under the authority of the three general chairmen of the party, namely PAN chairman Zulkifli Hasan, PPP chairman Suharso Monoarfa, and Golkar chairman Airlangga Hartarto.
"The general chairman at KIB discussed only the three of them, Pak Airlangga, Pak Suharso, Pak Zulhas, discussing which of them was nominated for president," said Sarmuji.
Sarmuji believes KIB can win the battle if there are four axes in the 2024 election. "When it comes to winning, we have confidence. The chance to win is also great, especially if there are four candidates," said Sarmuji.
Although currently, said Sarmuji, Airlangga Hartarto's electability is still low because he has not made preparations for 2024. But he is optimistic that if he starts the campaign period, Airlangga's electability can accelerate.
"Why now seems the survey is low, because it's not prepared yet," he said.
Similar to Golkar, he added, PPP and PAN agreed on the electability issue. Therefore, Sarmuji said that his party did not want to rush to declare the presidential and vice presidential candidates in the near future.
"If later the declaration and especially if Pak Airlangga runs as a presidential candidate, the 12 percent of the legislative votes will automatically be converted into Airlangga's votes," said Sarmuji.
