JAKARTA - The Golkar Party gave an instruction letter to its cadre as well as toll road entrepreneur Jusuf Hamka alias Babah Alun, to run as a candidate for governor (cagub) or deputy governor candidate (cawagub) in the 2024 DKI Jakarta Pilkada.

"We have given an instruction letter to Babah Alun or Pak Jusuf Hamka. People say yes, toll road man. The task given to him is as a candidate for governor, and a candidate for deputy governor," said Secretary General of the Golkar Party, Lodewijk Freidrich Paulus at the Golkar DPP Office, Slipi, Jakarta, Thursday, July 18. Lodewijk emphasized that Jusuf Hamka was one of the names considered by Golkar to be promoted as a candidate for governor or deputy governor.

He said the Golkar Party would continue to monitor the results of Jusuf Hamka's electability survey for the next few days. He hopes that the survey will show good figures for Babah Alun to advance the Jakarta gubernatorial election. According to him, there is still time to decide before the registration of candidates for governor and deputy governor for the 2024 Pilkada which falls on 27-29 August. "We will see what the Babah Alun survey looks like. Hopefully we have good choice variables, both for the deputy governor and as the governor of the special area of the capital city of Jakarta," said Lodewijk.
