JAKARTA - The imposition of the Governor of West Java (Jabar) Ridwan Kamil to the Golkar Party is expected to increase ammunition in winning the 2024 General Election. He is considered capable of mobilizing voters so that he is asked to be the Deputy General Chair in the field of Raising Voters and Winning the Golkar Party Election.

"He who has experience raising voters," said West Java Golkar Party DPD chairman Ace Hasan Syadzily to reporters in Jakarta, quoted on Thursday, January 19.

Golkar will certainly take advantage of Ridwan Kamil's potential, including to attract the voices of young people. "And we hope it will become ammunition for the Golkar Party," said Ace.

"Not only in West Java. But throughout Java," he continued.

Similarly, Golkar Party Deputy Head Melchias Markus Mekeng assessed that Ridwan Kamil's presence would have a positive impact. Not only because it is able to have an electoral effect, this regional head is considered a person who knows himself and is rational.

Thus, Ridwan's entry into the Golkar Party is considered a decision that has been carefully considered. "So, his decision to enter (the Party) of Golkar is not a decision," said Mekeng.

In addition, he also did discussions with him before his decision was final. "And in the end, maybe after he was contemplation, discussing with the figures, he finally decided to join the Golkar Party. Yes, we are happy," he said.

As previously reported, Ridwan Kamil received the Golkar Party membership card (KTA) on Wednesday, January 18. It was the General Chair of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartato, who immediately gave it.

At that time, Airlangga expressed his optimism for joining Ridwan. He could be the party's mainstay weapon to win in the 2024 General Election.

Meanwhile, Ridwan Kamil ensured that he would comply with the party's decision. He is ready to win Airlangga Hartarto as president in 2024.

"I am a fatsun against organizational decisions, so I will narrate the party's decisions regarding Pak Airlangga as a presidential candidate everywhere," said Ridwan at the Golkar DPP office, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 18.
