JAKARTA - The youngest son of President Joko Widodo, Kaesang Pangarep, is supported to run for the Depok Pilkada in the upcoming 2024 election. Political observer Ujang Komarudin assessed that the opportunity of Erina Gudono's husband to win the Pilkada contest depends on Jokowi's position, whether he still serves as president or not. According to Ujang, the Pilkada which was originally scheduled to be held on November 27, 2024 will be advanced before Jokowi stepped down. This is done so that Jokowi can 'interve' in Kaesang's can be nominated, both in Depok and in other areas. "But if Jokowi is not president, the presidential period expires in October 2024, the Pilkada in November will lose. So depending on Jokowi's position, the president or has stopped," he continued. Even if Depok is the'region' of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), the founder of the 'Sang Pisar' culinary business has the opportunity to win. Again, if there is Jokowi's intervention in the Pilkada later. That is, said Ujang, it has been proven from the victory of the eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka and Jokowi's son-in-lawan, Bobby Nasution in the last election. "That's why Gibran won, why did Gibran won, who is he (if not, red) his son is the president. If he is the president has the state apparatus to win, he wants PKS as strong as he can fall. If Jokowi is against the president's son, then. If Jokowi is still the president," explained the executive director of the IPR.

In conclusion, added Ujang, wherever Kaesang runs as a candidate for regional head, he can win if there is Jokowi's intervention. But if not, Kaesang will certainly fall. "Yes, if Jokowi is still president, that's the point," said Ujang.
