West Java (Jabar) Governor M Ridwan Kamil hinted that he would return to compete in the 2024 West Java Pilkada. However, he has not confirmed who his assistant will be as a deputy governor candidate. This was conveyed by Ridwan Kamil in response to the media crew's question about the opportunity to move forward with the Deputy Governor of West Java, Uu Ruzhanul Ulum in the 2024 West Java gubernatorial election. "The coalition is not necessarily a representative depending on the coalition," said Ridwan Kamil when met at the West Java PKK TP Building, Bandung City, Antara, Tuesday, March 14. When participating in the 2018 West Java Pilkada contestation, Ridwan Kamil paired with Uu Ruzhanul Ulum from PPP. Although in a number of survey institutions, it was recorded that the electability of West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil to compete in the 2024 presidential election was quite taken into account. Ridwan Kamil said he first focused on becoming a governor candidate in the 2024 West Java Governor and Deputy Governor Elections. Ridwan Kamil said that as a cadre of the Golkar Party, he appreciated the decision of the party bearing the banyan tree to carry Airlangga Hartarto for the 2024 presidential election. Sementara ini ia fokus di Pilgub Jawa Barat 2024 dulu dan dirinya menyerahkan peluang mencalonkan di DKI Jakarta kepada partainya. "So if the matter of the presidential election is to support the chairman of the Golkar Party Airlangga, as a presidential candidate. I focus on what is certain, in front of my eyes, namely the Governor of West Java. Even if I wish in the second period, that's right. In DKI the survey is good, but the decision is from the party," he said. Therefore, he reiterated that he is currently focusing on working to clean up the first period as Governor of West Java. And if asked about the most realistic and most likely political choices, of course it is his right to follow the second period of the Governor in West Java.
