JAKARTA - The chairman of the PDIP DPP Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok revealed that Jusuf Hamka may have canceled the Jakarta gubernatorial and deputy governorial elections (Pilgub). This was conveyed directly by Jusuf Hamka when communicating with Ahok via cellphone. "Earlier, Mr. Hamka just called me. I was close to Mr. Hamka, (he said) I don't think he will run (Pilgub Jakarta)," said Ahok in Jakarta, Saturday. According to Ahok, Jusuf Hamka canceled his progress because Golkar and the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) plus recommended Ridwan Kamil to run for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. It is known that Ridwan Kamil and Jusuf Hamka are both Golkar Party cadres.

"It's already KIM plus, it depends on Bung RK, right, it means that Golkar has a candidate, not (Jusuf Hamka). We just need to ask RK with Hamka or RK with Mas Kaesang," said Ahok. It is known that the General Chairperson of the Golkar Party Airlangga Hartarto confirmed that Ridwan Kamil will run for the Jakarta gubernatorial election and Dedi Mulyadi will run for the West Java gubernatorial election. The decision is a strong sign that KIM will remain united in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. KIM is likely to carry Ridwan Kamil in the Jakarta gubernatorial election.
