JAKARTA - Gerindra Party Secretary General Ahmad Muzani revealed that Gerindra General Chair Prabowo Subianto will give a surprise in the nomination of the name of the governor candidate (cagub) and deputy governor candidate (cawagub) in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial and deputy governor election (Pilgub).

Even though Prabowo's candidate's name has been pocketed, Muzani stated that Gerindra did not want to rush into declaring the name to be carried in the Jakarta gubernatorial election.

"God willing, there will be a surprise that will be prepared by Pak Prabowo for the Jakarta gubernatorial election," said Muzani in Jakarta, Sunday, June 30.

Prabowo, he continued, is preparing political decisions for Jakarta with intensive communication with other parties, including PKS.

"God willing, we will wait for time. It will be announced soon. The Indonesian Forward Coalition also has intensive communication with other parties, such as with PKS," he said.

Previously, it was reported that Gerindra together with the Forward Indonesia Coalition considered the former Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, as a candidate for governor in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election.

Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Habiburokhman, assessed that Ridwan Kamil was the right person to be promoted in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. Apart from being competitive, Ridwan Kamil has also proven his performance both in the city of Bandung and in the province of West Java.

"In my opinion, RK has a great chance to be competitive. He is a new figure, but many people know about his achievements in Bandung and West Java. There are many problems in Jakarta that are similar to what he managed to solve in Bandung," said Habiburokhman at the parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, last Thursday.
