Ridwan Kamil Shows Off Close To Prabowo, Pramono Anung: Anyone Can Cooperate With The President

Pramono Anung

JAKARTA - Jakarta Governor Candidate number 3 Pramono Anung merespos pernyataan calon Gubernur Jakarta number 1, Ridwan Kamil yang menunjukkan memiliki closean dengan Prabowo sebagai Presiden terpilih 2024.

According to Pramono, whoever wins the Jakarta gubernatorial election and serves as regional head should carry out policies that are in line with the central government, in this case the governments of Prabowo and Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

"The most important thing is that whoever becomes governor must be able to cooperate with the President. So, not looking at the background, not seeing anything, must be able to work together because he must obey the central government," Pramono said on Jalan Otista Raya, East Jakarta, Monday, October 7.

Moreover, according to Pramono, a number of former governors of DKI Jakarta who have served have not always had close political relations or were on the same side as the President in his time.

For example, Joko Widodo served as Governor of DKI in 2012-2014 when Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) became President, then Anies Baswedan became Governor of DKI for the 2017-2022 period when Indonesia was led by President Joko Widodo.

"So, the regional transportation business has no close relationship or any business in the party is really prefessional. Jakarta has been leading for too long, it's usually not the same person as the president," said Pramono.

Previously in the closing statement of the inaugural debate for the Jakarta Regional Election, Ridwan Kamil showed off himself and Suswono, his deputy governor candidate, had advantages over other candidate pairs, namely being close to Prabowo.

"If we are elected, one of the advantages is that God willing, our relationship with the elected president will be very good, and who will benefit? The one who will benefit is the citizens of Jakarta," said RK at JIExpo Kemayoran.

From that good relationship, RK believes that if he leads Jakarta, the nominal transfer funds to local governments from the APBN will be obtained more.

"Because of good relations, transfer funds from the central government will be doubled. So that the Jakarta program, cards and everything will be more and more prosperous," he added.
