Jakarta Residents Need A New Figure, Golkar Doesn't Need To Worry About Boyong Ridwan Kamil To Jakarta Even Though The Survey Results Are Ciut

Gerindra Deputy Habiburokhman/DOK VOI-Nailin In Saroh

JAKARTA - The Golkar Party is re-thinking to carry Ridwan Kamil (RK) as a candidate for governor in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. This is because the electability survey of RK in Jakarta has decreased after the names of former DKI Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) and Anies Baswedan in the cagub exchange appeared. Hearing that Ridwan Kamil's survey had declined, Gerindra, who wanted to nominate him in Jakarta, denied it. According to the Deputy Head of Gerindra, Habiburokhman, the survey results will not be the same as the results on the day of the election. Based on his experience, the East Jakarta electoral district legislator assessed that DKJ residents always wanted a new figure rather than an incumbent or incumbent. So according to him, Ridwan Kamil has a better chance of winning than Ahok and Anies. "No, no, I am an expert in Jakarta, the term is. I won the DKI gubernatorial election twice, my team won twice. Now I understand very well that the survey is almost always inappropriate when compared to the results," said Habiburokhman at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday, June 20. The DPR member then brought up Fauzi Bowo, who at that time nominated for the 2012 Pilkada. Despite the good survey, Foke lost to Jokowi-Ahok as the new pair in the Jakarta Pilkada. Likewise, when Ahok came back with Djarot Syaiful Hidayat in the 2017 Jakarta Pilkada, Ahok - Djarot also fell by Anies-Sandiaga Uno as his challenger. In fact, the Ahok - Djarot survey at that time was higher than Anies-Sandi. "Just remember that Pak Foke's survey at that time was not good, what? The survey was Mr. Ahok, it was very good, right? When the implementation was different because the people of DKI were critical people. They have their own calculations, especially those who are incumbent," he explained. Therefore, Habiburokhman believes that if Anies becomes the incumbent in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada, he can lose to Ridwan Kamil as a new figure. Moreover, RK is already popular nationally.

"In my opinion, (Ridwan Kamil) has a great chance to appear, at least be competitive, right, this RK. Because he is a new figure, but people already know his achievements in Bandung twice the provincial capital whose characteristics are similar to Jakarta. Many similar problems in Jakarta are resolved in the city of Bandung, then in West Java. So people know this capacity even though he is a new figure," explained Habiburokhman.
