JAKARTA - Secretary of the Regional Leadership Council (DPD) of the DKI Jakarta Golkar Party, Basri Baco, opened the opportunity for former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to be promoted by his party in the 2024 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election.
Golkar itself projects the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Golkar DPD Ahmed Zaki Iskandar to run in this year's DKI Pilkada.
Baco admitted that there was no problem if the Golkar Central Executive Board (DPP) paired Zaki with Anies. In fact, Golkar DKI accepts if Anies becomes a candidate for governor and Zaki is a deputy governor candidate.
"There is no problem, because the Chairman of Zaki is ready to be governor, ready to be deputy governor," Baco told reporters, Tuesday, May 21.
What is clear is that the DPD Golkar DKI will follow whatever the Golkar DPP decision is, although later it will not make Zaki a candidate for DKI 1 with the aim of winning the candidate pair.
"If the DPP agrees, it's okay, we'll just have fun as long as the Golkar DPP agrees. In principle we also want to win," explained Baco.
However, as long as there is no official decision regarding who will be promoted by Golkar in the 2024 Pilkada, Baco said that his party continues to carry out strategies to increase Zaki's electability in Jakarta.
"We will not stop consolidating the same pattern that we used in the legislative election yesterday. All mass organizations will soon make a declaration and then make social activities in order to socialize support in five cities and 1 district in Jakarta," explained the chairman of the Golkar faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD.
Previously, Anies considered returning to the 2024 DKI Regional Head Election, he expressed this when attending the halal bihalal of residents who are members of the Urban Poor People Network (JRMK) in Marlina Village, Muara Baru, North Jakarta, Sunday, May 20.
In fact, Anies admitted that he had received an invitation from a number of political parties to be promoted as candidates for the Governor of DKI Jakarta.
"I talked to ladies and gentlemen, indeed I received an invitation from political parties offered to be nominated as governor. I am currently considering whether to return or not, so I am considering it," said Anies.
