The Secretary General of the Golkar Party, Lodewijk F Paulus, revealed the reason his party offered Yusuf Hamka as a candidate for deputy governor (cawagub) to accompany PSI General Chair Kaesang Pangarep to run in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election.

According to Lodewijk, Yusuf Hamka or Babah Alun is an infrastructure expert who can help Kaesang build Jakarta. The toll road boss is also considered capable of overcoming Jakarta's main problem, namely congestion and flooding.

"There are young people in the square who are experts in infrastructure and problems in Jakarta, there must be traffic jams, now he already has the concept of the problem related to infrastructure, how to deal with flooding he already knows," said Lodewijk at the Golkar Party DPP Office, Thursday, July 11.

Second, continued Lodewijk, to anticipate when the state capital moved to East Kalimantan and Jakarta became a business city.

"This means building the city of Jakarta, how to make Jakarta a business center in Indonesia. It does not mean that after moving the capital of the Jakarta state, it must be prepared. Now, this combination of young people with entrepreneurs is important," explained Lodewijk.

Lodewijk also emphasized that Golkar was serious about preparing Babah Alun as the cawagub of Jakarta. He said Golkar had considered specifically to make Babah Alun a companion to Kaesang.

"Seriously. Definitely, of course there are special considerations, we'll see later," said Lodewijk.

"Of course, when Golkar spoke about making this decision, there was already an early survey, which is how we see this survey, the tendency is increasing," he added.
