JAKARTA - Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Golkar DPD Ahmed Zaki Iskandar is a cadre who has the potential to be promoted by Golkar as a candidate for Governor (cagub) of DKI Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada.

However, Zaki admitted that his electability in the Jakarta cagub exchange was still low compared to other figures. That's why Zaki plans to visit Jakarta residents ahead of the election.

This was revealed by Zaki while attending the event for the selection of candidates for regional heads (cakada) from PKB.

"What is certain is that not only should campaign props or tools increase popularity, but also community visits, one of which is," said Zaki in Jakarta, Thursday, May 2.

Zaki acknowledged this strategy of electability and popularity, which was also an instruction from the General Chair of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto.

This task, he continued, was also carried by two other Golkar cadres who were also included in the DKI cagub exchange, namely Ridwan Kamil and Erwin Aksa.

"The three of us are working to increase the electability and popularity of each in Jakarta. The rest will be decided by the DPP," said Zaki.

Zaki also explained the reason why he attended the screening and registering as a governor of DKI to PKB.

In the 2024 Pilleg in DKI Jakarta, Golkar gets 10 seats. Golkar can't even carry its own cagub of choice and requires other parties to form a coalition to meet the nomination threshold.

"PKB is also our partner in Jakarta. Golkar, with the acquisition of 2024, of course, must partner so that the 22 seats can be achieved," he added.
