JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung's Candidate for Governor Pramono Anung believes that former DKI Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok will support himself and Rano Karno in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. "Even Mr. Ahok has brought me together at Ahokers and so on," said Pramono in Menteng, Central Jakarta, Friday, September 6. Ahok will certainly help. "But for the winning team this time, yes, he doesn't need to be in the team, but he will help," he said. Pramono said that although Ahok was not included in the winning team structure, Ahok would also help himself and Rano Karno win the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. "Always the question is whether Mas Anies or Pak Ahok (as team leader). Pak Ahok is responsible nationally for the Pilkada," he said. He has also spoken to Ahok. "Pak Ahok has been assigned throughout Indonesia to help directly," said Pramono. In addition, Pramono admitted that he and Ahok also continued to communicate and coordinate for Pramono-Rano's victory in Jakarta. "And Pak Ahok has communicated with me many times, will help 'all out' for that," said Pramono. Pramono also expressed his consideration of choosing Lies Hartono or Cak Lontong as chairman of the winning team because of his desire to do politics happily. "As I said, the politics is cheerful politics, embraces, not then the 'tone' is a 'tone' as in the previous governors-pilgub elections in Jakarta," said Pramono. Pramono admitted that his party also saw from the experience of the previous Jakarta Pilkada. According to Pramono, Jakarta will be better if there is no conflict and division in the regional election process. "The experience makes us aware that this good Jakarta will be better if there is no conflict, there is no tension which then causes division or whatever," said Pramono. Meanwhile, Pramono Anung-Rano Karno is one of the three pairs of candidates (paslon) for governor and deputy governor in the 2024 DKI Pilkada, apart from RK-Suswono and independent candidate pair Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana.
