JAKARTA - PSI DPP General Chairperson Kaesang Pangarep did not question the results of the latest survey by Indonesian Political Indicators which stated that the majority of PSI voters in Jakarta supported Anies Baswedan and Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) for the 2024 Pilkada in Jakarta.
"Yes, it doesn't matter. This is only a dynamic for the regional elections, especially in DKI Jakarta," said Kaesang in response to reporters' questions during a press conference at the PSI DPP Office, Jakarta, Thursday, July 25, which was confiscated by Antara.
He also considered Anies Baswedan and Ahok as worthy figures to lead Jakarta, especially since they both had a good track record while leading Jakarta.
"I think these two people, Mr. Anies, together with Mr. Ahok, have done a lot for DKI, which in the future will become DKJ (Jakarta Special Region). So, I think he and his parents are really worthy if for example PSI constituents choose Pak Anies and Pak Ahok," said Kaesang.
Apart from that, PSI has not yet determined its position in the Jakarta Pilkada. The party bearing the rose symbol has not yet announced the figures they support to advance in the Jakarta Pilkada.
Kaesang said that for strategic areas, such as Jakarta and Central Java, PSI asked the public to be patient regarding their choices.
"August 27 is coming soon, it won't take long, one more month," said Kaesang.
