Former Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Golkar Party Dito Ariotedjo said, Ridwan Kamil's fate to run in the 2024 Jakarta Governor and Deputy Governor Election (Pilgub) is still waiting for a decision from the general chairmen of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) party. According to Dito, the chairman of KIM will determine Ridwan Kamil to run in the Jakarta or West Java (West Java) Pilgub. "So this depends on the joint decision of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition," said Dito at the DPR building, parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday. Golkar, said Dito, did not mind Ridwan Kamil running in the Jakarta or West Java Pilgub. The reason is that Golkar is optimistic that Ridwan Kamil, who is currently the Golkar Party's waketum, will win if it progresses in the Jakarta or West Java Pilgub. "Yes, Alhamdulillah, Mr. RK, his role in leading the city of Bandung, West Java is very good. This is a figure that I think is placed wherever it will shine," he explained. Dito also believes Ridwan Kamil has no objection to run in the Jakarta or West Java Pilgub. He ensures that KIM is solid in the Jakarta Pilgub and there will even be another party that joins so that it becomes KIM plus. "Yes, for Mr. Ridwan Kamil, I think that the clear statement from Pak Airlangga and also the friends of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition is projected for both in Jakarta and West Java. It depends on the latter dynamics, the discussion with the coalition will finally be how. The point is that we are ready with the Advanced Indonesia Coalition, "he explained.

Dito added that KIM is open if PKB and PKS join the Jakarta gubernatorial election and also the Prabowo-Gibran government. According to him, KIM plus will be easy to win the 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada) and the implementation of policies both central and regional. "It's good for us to build the nation, provinces to regencies, cities to countries, the point is as long as it can be together better," he concluded.
