JAKARTA - The Indonesian Online Ojek Community (Kajol) expressed its support for the 2024 presidential candidate from PDIP, Ganjar Pranowo. Ganjar is considered a populist leader, has good achievements and track records compared to other presidential candidates.

Spokesperson for Kajol, Risnandar, claimed that more than four million ojol drivers who are members of Kajol had agreed to support and win Ganjar as president.

He conveyed this after meeting with Ganjar in Jakarta, Saturday, July 29.

"So why does this Indonesian National Conference support Pak Ganjar because we think he has achievements and has a good track record. One of the presidential candidates who can continue the mega project will make Indonesia a developed country," said Risnandar in a written statement received.

He believes that Ganjar is able to bring prosperity to all Indonesian people, including ojol drivers. For example, by facilitating skills and mentoring training activities so that people can become independent.

"Many programs from Mr. Ganjar are indeed useful for small communities. Such as MSMEs, training, mentoring, access to capital and others. Especially these MSMEs are interesting, because they are very concerned about it," he said.

In addition, he also believes that Ganjar is able to provide legal regulations and umbrellas for online motorcycle taxis. According to Risnandar, Ganjar is very supportive of the legal umbrella for ojol drivers.

"We are very sure. With what he said earlier, it is very clear to us, yes, he is very supportive and indeed he initiated how in the future the online motorcycle taxi is not in the gray realm. More concretely, whether there is a cooperative or all kinds of things, he has already and supports online motorcycle taxis to be prosperous in the future," he concluded.

Meanwhile, Ganjar invites all ojol drivers to work together. The existing great strength must be optimized to fight for their rights.

"If this force can be synergized, then the problems experienced by ojol drivers can be solved. Everything must be solid, and forming an organization like this is very necessary," he said.

Indeed, Ganjar continued, there are many problems with ojol drivers that need to be resolved. For example, regarding tariff policy. Rating determination policies are usually only taken unilaterally by applicators.

"That's why if it is solid, it can force the applicator to have his demands heard. It could also be in the future, there will be representatives of ojol drivers who become representatives in the applicator. So commissioners, for example, so that there is a representation of ojol friends there. Or it could also enter politics, there is an ojol representation in the DPR so that they can fight for their rights," he explained.

Ganjar also encouraged ojol drivers to create cooperatives. With such a large strength, cooperatives can be optimized to create a business with the aim of improving the welfare of its members.

"You can create a workshop business unit, MSMEs or even create your own application," he concluded.
