JAKARTA - The head of the winning team or the Pramono Anung-Rano Karno campaign team in the Jakarta gubernatorial election will not be filled by PDI-P cadres (PDIP).

Pramono explained that the desire to fill the position of chairman of the success team (timses) for himself and Rano had been conveyed to PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"The head of the overall winning team is indeed a non-cadre. I have also conveyed it to Mrs. Megawati. However, (the members of the timses) under the cadres because the two of us are really cadres," Pramono said when met in the CFD Sudirman-Thamrin area, Jakarta, Sunday, September 1.

The Cabinet Secretary explained the reason why his team chairman was not filled by PDIP cadres.

According to him, a professional figure in leading his campaign team is needed to embrace the community.

"So we will embrace everything. Not just talking about the party, but talking about the people of Jakarta as a whole," said Pramono.

In line with Pramono, Rano Karno assessed that the role of political parties in the 2024 Pilkada was limited to providing nomination tickets.

Rano said that the main task of introducing candidates and carrying out the campaign was carried out by a winning team that was structurally separated from the supporting party.

"This means that in the pilkada mechanism, this party only delivers, but all decisions are in the hands of the residents. These residents have colorful parties. Well, this is the moment we built Jakarta, that's why we tag our line 'Jakarta Imang'," explained Rano.

As previously reported, Pramono Anung-Rano Karno officially registered with the Jakarta KPUD as a candidate for governor and deputy governor on Wednesday, August 28. Both of them became the first participants to register.

Both of them had already carried out a medical examination on Friday, August 30. They were examined by doctors at Tarakan Hospital, Jakarta from morning to 18.00 WIB.

Currently, Pramono-Rano is still compiling the structure of the winning team, as well as preparing the headquarters of the campaign team during the 2024 Pilkada.
