DENPASAR - Golkar politician Ridwan Kamil said his assignment to run in the DKI Jakarta and West Java Pilkada will be decided by the central leadership council (DPP) in July 2024.

However, the former Governor of West Java has pocketed an assignment letter to run in the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada.

"So, it means that it is still a consideration, just wait for July," said Ridwan Kamil at Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali, Friday, May 31.

This is what makes him not put up campaign props in the form of billboards on the road.

According to him, if he has the spirit to run for governor of DKI Jakarta, banners to choose himself are already scattered on the road.

"If I am already Jakarta's dragon, maybe there will be a banner, whatever, make a declaration, but not yet," he said as quoted by ANTARA.

Previously, Ridwan Kamil revealed that he had received two assignment letters from the Golkar Party DPP to run in the 2024 Regional Head Election.

"I received two assignment letters, one in West Java, two in DKI Jakarta. So, the letters are two," said Ridwan while attending the West Java All-Indonesian Village Government Association (Apdesi) Working Meeting in Bandung, Thursday.

Regarding where to determine the direction of politics in 2024, Ridwan Kamil admitted that he still prioritizes staying in West Java. However, based on a letter of assignment given by the Golkar Party DPP, it is possible that he will take part in DKI Jakarta

"Because they were given two, the priority remains in West Java. However, they were asked to keep trying to take part in accordance with the assignment in DKI Jakarta," said Kang Emil, his nickname.
