JAKARTA - Entrepreneur Jusuf Hamka visited the residence of the former Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Mahfud MD, on Jalan Taman Patra XII, Setia Budi District, South Jakarta, Saturday, July 13.

His visit to Mahfud MD's house certainly raises the question of whether Jusuf Hamka alias Babah Alun will seriously advance in the 2024 Pilkada.

Because the man who is the toll road boss was recently proposed to be a candidate for deputy governor (cawagub) accompanying Kaesang Pangarep by the General Chairperson of Golkar Airlangga Hartarto.

Jusuf Hamka, who arrived in an electric car, the black Hyundai Ioniq 5, immediately entered Mahfud MD's residence.

When asked what he would discuss with Mahfud MD, Jusuf Hamka only answered briefly.

"Want to discuss debt," said Jusuf Hamka when he entered Mahfud MD's residence.

Previously, the General Chairperson of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto, offered Jusuf Hamka alias Babah Alun as Kaesang's partner if President Joko Widodo's youngest son ran in the upcoming Jakarta gubernatorial election.

"Then of course there is news about how Mr. Kaesang as the chairman of PSI wants to be pushed. Earlier we exchanged ideas in a wider way, the conclusion is that there is still time to decide that there are still two months but if that opportunity exists and Mr. Kaesang is ready to run, the Golkar Party will support it," said Airlangga after a meeting with the PSI Ketum at the Golkar DPP office, Thursday, July 11.

According to Airlangga, Jakarta is one of the areas full of challenges, especially infrastructure. So that Golkar offered the name Jusuf Hamka alias Babah Alun to overcome this problem.

"Well, to support Mas Ketum, if he chose Jakarta, I would prepare Golkar Party cadres who have been poor across the infrastructure world, namely Babah Alun," said Airlangga.
