JAKARTA - The Golkar Party responded to the issue that Anies Baswedan would be promoted by PDIP and paired with Rano Karno in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Golkar has no problem as long as Anies meets the requirements as a candidate for governor who is registered with the KPU.

"No one hinders people from having constitutional rights to make any decisions, including Mr. Anies, anyone throughout Indonesia. If these people have the intention to run in the Pilkada, as long as they meet the requirements, the requirements for the law, the PKPU requirements, then no one can hinder them, especially if they are supported by political parties," said Golkar Deputy Chairman Ahmad Doli Kurnia, Monday, August 26.

Doli said Golkar would respect PDIP's sovereignty if it decided to carry Anies in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. His party, said Doli, will also not change support for Ridwan Kamil-Suswono, which has been declared by the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) Plus.

"The Golkar Party has a candidate for Mr. Ridwan Kamil who is already paired with Mr. Suswono. We can keep going, the ship has sailed, in any situation, we just have to wait for another competitor, we are ready," he said.

The chairman of Commission II of the DPR is also not worried that NasDem, PKS and PKB will withdraw their support to RK-Suswono. Because he said, KIM Plus was solid for the Jakarta Pilkada.

"No (worry, red), the commitment to support Mr. Ridwan Kamil and Mr. Suswono is not a short process. We are building intensive communication with NasDem, then with PKB and PKS it was at least 3 weeks that time, until finally agreed to support Ridwan Kamil-Suswono," explained Doli.

"So I don't think that's how easy it will be to change," he concluded.
