JAKARTA - Former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil or Kang Emil appreciated the community's support after the OTW' billboards emerged to Jakarta. He was grateful but also asked the public to be patient waiting for the breakthrough he would do.

"Thank you for the support and enthusiasm of the community. But I hope the public is patient. Please wait on February 29, 2024," Ridwan Kamil told reporters, Monday, February 26.

Although it is not certain that he will run in the Jakarta gubernatorial election (Pilgub) this year, he has brought five capitals. Starting from pocketing the recommendations of the Golkar Party to winning the presidential and vice presidential candidates number two, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka in West Java.

For recommendations from the Golkar Party, Ridwan admitted that he received two assignment letters. One in West Java, two in DKI. So the letter is two, "he told reporters some time ago.

The second capital, Ridwan Kamil, is considered a city planning expert. He was even known as an architectural practitioner and lecturer at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) before being known as the Mayor of Bandung and the Governor of West Java.

His ability is also proven through the Tsunami Museum in Aceh; the mosque from the bricks comes from the ash from the eruption of Mount Merapi; anti-earthquake schools in Pengalengan, Bandung; to elite areas in Kuningan, Jakarta.

In addition, one of his works has also become an iconic building in the city of Bandung besides Gedung Sate, the Grand Mosque of Al Jabbar.

Third, Ridwan is also considered to have high electability. This result is illustrated from the Populi Center survey entitled Important Problems and Dynamics of Jakarta Politics' which was followed by 600 respondents in 60 urban villages in DKI Jakarta on 9-16 October 2022.

"When the people of DKI Jakarta were asked about their support for the 24 figures mentioned, Ridwan Kamil was the one who received the most advanced support as a candidate for Governor of DKI Jakarta in 2024, which was 69.7 percent," said Populi Center researcher Dimas Ramadhan.

The fourth capital, Ridwan Kamil, has led West Java and received 555 awards. There, he also managed to remove the village figure behind and was very behind by up to zero percent at the end of his term of office.

Finally, he was able to win Prabowo-Gibran in the 2024 presidential election when he was appointed as the Head of the West Java Regional Campaign Team (TKD). Thus, this pair can outperform the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar or AMIN and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD pairs.
