JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the DPP Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) I Putu Yoga Saputra stated that PSI DPP Chairman Kaesang Pangarep is ready to run for the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada if it is supported by the community and parties.

"PSI has 8 seats in the Jakarta DPRD. This means that it is appropriate to advance its own governor candidate. And if that happens, PSI will choose the best cadre, namely our general chairman, Mas Kaesang," Yoga said in a statement quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, August 13.

He also explained that the Kaesang banner that was circulating did not embed the PSI logo. This is to prove that it was not PSI who put up the banner.

"So don't ask PSI. Maybe this is a citizen's initiative. The banners are proof that there are components of society or maybe volunteers who want Mas Kaesang to come forward," he said.

Putu said the PSI DPP only knew that Kaesang wanted to accompany his wife Erina Gudono to continue her education in the United States.

"We haven't updated the banner that was installed and whether it's true that Mas Kaesang is running for the Pilkada," said Putu.

According to him, if Kaesang advances in the 2024 DKI Jakarta Pilkada, the youngest son of President Jokowi is ready to face Anies Baswedan or Ridwan Kamil.

"When it comes to experiences that are considered lacking, Mas Anies was also not optimal in Jakarta. Maybe it's time for Jakarta to get a new and fresh figure like Mas Ketum Kaesang," he concluded.
