JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) spoke about the opportunity for him to be paired with former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan or former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil in the Jakarta gubernatorial election on November 27, 2024.

Kaesang admitted that there was no problem pairing it with Anies or Ridwan Kamil in the Jakarta gubernatorial election, depending on the political dynamics in the future.

"I'm ready too, I'm back again, our political name doesn't matter with anyone," said Kaesang at the PSI DPP office, Tanah Abang, Jakarta, Thursday, Jakarta 13.

Kaesang also admitted that he was ready to run for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. Moreover, he said, PSI has 8 seats in the DKI Jakarta DPRD so that it has a boat in the Jakarta Pilkada, although it still has to form a coalition with other parties.

"However, if I am asked whether I am ready or not, then I must be ready," said Kaesang.

Previously, Kaesang admitted that there was no problem if he was paired with Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. This was conveyed by Kaesang in response to the proposal of the DKI Jakarta PKB DPW which intends to carry Anies-Kaesang in the Jakarta Pilkada.

"So yes, I don't have a problem either, if later it will be paired by Mr. Anies," said Kaesang Pangarep at the PSI DPP office, Central Jakarta.

Kaesang said that his party accepted various aspirations of the community as conveyed by the Jakarta PKB DPW to pair him with Anies Baswedan. Moreover, said the youngest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), Anies Baswedan's electability is still the highest in the Jakarta gubernatorial election.

"Yes, it doesn't matter, I think it is also good and we will also see Mr. Anies if we look at the current survey which is the highest," said Kaesang.

On the other hand, on social media, posters of the duet of Ridwan Kamil and Kaesang circulated to run in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. Gerindra has mentioned that Ridwan Kamil will be carried by the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) in Jakarta.
