JAKARTA - Candidate for Governor of Jakarta number 3, Pramono Anung responded to the statement of candidate for Governor number 1 Ridwan Kamil who claimed that he and Suswono received support from the majority of "Abah's children".

Abah's son is the nickname of the community who supported Anies Baswedan in the 2024 presidential election. Until now, Anies has not disclosed his support for any candidate pair.

Responding to Ridwan Kamil's claim, Pramono said the facts of the claim would be proven or refuted on voting day. In a sense, which candidate was chosen by Abah's son more.

"It's a symbol of Abah's children knowing, of course, Mas Anies himself and his own children. I don't want to debate that. But just look at who will get the most votes at the TPS," said Pramono in Kebon Melati, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, October 9th.

On the one hand, Pramono emphasized that many people have become loyalists or helped Anies Baswedan win the 2024 presidential election and are now joining his winning team.

Some of the names of the former Anies team who are now included in the Pramono-Rano timses include Mandira Bienna Elmir, Aldy Perdana Putra, to Iwan Tarigan.

"In my opinion, starting from the spokesperson, the team that prepared the data, even in my debate yesterday one of the people (who helped Pramono) was the one who really prepared data for Mas Anies (in the presidential election) yesterday," Pramono explained.

In addition, Pramono said that he and Rano Karno had received support from a number of Anies volunteer groups, and held a meeting with one of Anies loyalists, Geisz Chalifah.

"The most important thing is that communication continues. I also continue to communicate with them. The point is we believe whatever is there, surely they will choose who their programs will be closer to the community," he said.

Previously, Ridwan Kamil (RK) admitted that he was still confident that he could win the Jakarta gubernatorial election. The former Governor of West Java claimed that the majority of Abah's children's votes would be anchored to him.

"If you want to be honest, in the survey results, the majority of Abah's children have also been found to have added their choice, the majority to the RIDO pair. So that's all being chased until the end of the campaign," said RK on Tuesday, October 8.

So, RK has no problem if Pramono-Rano holds a meeting with supporters and loyalists of Anies.

"The name gathering is good if you want to be with anyone, go ahead. The key to the name electoral is not determined by person by person. My job is to continue to convince everyone," he said.
