JAKARTA - The candidate for deputy governor of Jakarta, Rano Karno, denied that his partner Pramono Anung was entrusted by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. He said the relationship between the two was indeed good and could even be called friends.

"There is no deposit. But it is undeniable that Pak Pram is a good friend. It is undeniable," Rano told reporters in Jakarta, Saturday, August 31.

Rano explained that Pramono was active in PDIP even before Jokowi became a party cadre bearing the bull symbol. Moreover, the Cabinet Secretary (Menseskab) is said to have had many hours of flying in politics.

"That cannot be denied. Then he became a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives four times, became the secretary general of the party and later became a government," he said.

Thus, the steps taken by PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri to appoint Pramono as a candidate for governor of Jakarta are correct. "For what reason, to fix it, Jakarta is so abandoned," said Rano.

The concept of Jakarta, Mas Pram, understands more than the Bapeda itself, perhaps. Because Jakarta cannot be separated from the central government, right. Well, if you say it's entrusted. I'm sure it's not," he continued.

It didn't stop there, Rano also denied that PDIP's accusations were just a formality to run in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. He is sure that he will win this political contestation with Pramono.

'Are you sure I won? Are you sure I won? If you're not sure I won, you didn't come here. I'm sure Pramono Anung and Rano Karno will win. That means it's not a formality. Okay, we'll meet in the election later," concluded Rano.
