JAKARTA - Jakarta gubernatorial candidate number 1, Ridwan Kamil (RK) announced that he and Jakarta deputy gubernatorial candidate Suswono are supported by President Prabowo Subianto.

RK even admitted that he ran for Jakarta gubernatorial election at Prabowo's request. This was stated in front of residents when RK was campaigning on Untung Jawa Island, Seribu Islands.

"If you are looking for a governor who is supported by Mr. Prabowo Subianto, then it is the RIDO pair (Ridwan-Suswono). The RIDO pair is here because it was born from Mr. Prabowo Subianto's request number one," said RK, Sunday, October 10.

RK assessed that regional governance will run according to expectations if the regional head has a good relationship with the central government. Assistance programs for the community will also be easier if there is no resistance between the central and regional governments.

Therefore, the former Governor of West Java claims that this condition will be created if he serves as Governor of Jakarta under Prabowo's leadership.

"I am the governor of West Java but Mr. Prabowo asked me to take care of Jakarta, yes. So, I am the choice and directed by the President to take care of Jakarta," said RK.

On that occasion, RK also heard about problems related to the lack of burial land to the difficulty of getting fuel and the disparity in fuel prices. Although in the same province, the price of fuel in the Seribu Islands and other areas of Jakarta is different.

RK admitted that he would coordinate with the central government and work with Pertamina to resolve this problem. He emphasized that the people of Jakarta must be able to easily get access to fuel and also the same price.

For easy access to fuel, RK said that his party would add floating mini Public Fuel Filling Stations (SPBU).

"Fuel prices will be balanced, will be the same throughout Jakarta, so that there are no more significant differences. We will also increase the number of inter-island transportation because this is a complaint that was also conveyed to us," he explained.
