JAKARTA - The candidate for Deputy Governor of Banten, Dimyati Natakusumah hopes to get support from the Golkar Party and PDIP even though eight political parties (political parties) have promoted in the 2024 Banten Pilgub.

The PKS politician hopes that the two political parties can participate in nominating Andra Soni-Dimyati Natakusumah as the cagub and cawagub pairs in the Banten Pilkada.

"We have recommended 8 political parties, we hope that there will still be political parties that can strengthen," Dimyati told reporters, Saturday, July 27.

"I hope that both Golkar and PDIP can be with Andra Soni-Dimyati," he continued.

Nevertheless, Dimyati admitted that he was worried about fighting the empty box if no other candidate pair ran for the Banten gubernatorial election. Because according to him, the challenge will be tougher because it fights the voice of the people.

"Against the empty box it's tougher than against people, to be honest. Because the empty box may be people who feel they don't like Andra Soni and Dimyati, they may choose empty boxes or don't like political parties, they choose empty boxes," he said.

"But if you can be together, earlier, reconciliation is faster," said Dimyati.
