Golkar Chairman Airlangga Hartanto (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The General Chairperson of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto, responded to the possibility of the elected president in 2024, Prabowo Subianto, supporting Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta gubernatorial and deputy governorial elections (Pilgub). Airlangga did not give a firm answer, but he invited Prabowo to look forward to the decision. "Yes, we'll just have to wait," said Airlangga briefly, after holding a meeting at the Jakarta Presidential Palace, Wednesday, July 31. Meanwhile, Airlangga said that Golkar still has not opened communication support for Anies. "Not yet," he said. Airlangga submitted a decision to Prabowo regarding the desire of PKS to join the Advanced Indonesia Coalition. Previously, the Daily Chairperson of the Gerindra Party DPP Sufmi Dasco Ahmad said that there would be an Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) plus the Election of the Governor and Deputy Governor (Pilgub) Jakarta, West Java (West Java), and Central Java (Centeng Java). This opens up the possibility of other parties outside KIM joining the pairs of candidates for governor and deputy governor (cagub-cawagub) candidates in the three regions.

However, Dasco was reluctant to mention in detail the political party that joined KIM in the 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada). According to him, in time it will be open and announced to the public with the cagub-cawagub pair promoted by KIM plus.
