The discourse of the duet of Ridwan Kamil (RK) and Kaesang Pangarep is said to be the toughest rivals including defeating Anies Baswedan in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

In the assessment of political observers Archy Strategy, Radis Hadi, RK and Kaesang both have modal popularity. Although not as busy as Anies currently, the two, especially RK, are not too far apart in several survey results.

"Some political parties do not deny that they want to carry Ridwan Kamil into the Jakarta Pilkada," he said, Sunday, June 16, 2024.

In addition, this election will be a momentum for RK to appear on the Jakarta stage. Moreover, the popularity of the former Governor of West Java continues to spread higher after much news and praise for his performance.

Meanwhile, from the Kaesang side, the decision of the Supreme Court made room for movement to advance to the Jakarta Pilkada more open. Moreover, previously, the performance of Kaesang as PSI General Chair was highlighted a lot after being able to place many of his cadres in the regions.

RK and Kaesang are also one of Anies' challengers to take into account. The increasing popularity of the two will make it easier for them to enter all lines in the public. "It's just a matter of how in the remaining time this can be used to be able to build a winning frame, especially strategic issues that will be sold," added Radis.

He emphasized that apart from being able to keep up with Anies, the RK and Kaesang duo would also be tough competitors for other Jakarta leaders. Although, with Jakarta as the center of the spotlight, changing opinions will also move quickly.
