JAKARTA - Jakarta gubernatorial candidate number 3 Pramono Anung responded casually to the claim of Jakarta gubernatorial candidate number 1 Ridwan Kamil receiving support from President Prabowo Subianto in the Jakarta gubernatorial election.

While RK showed off that he was supported by Prabowo, the gubernatorial candidate supported by the PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) joked that he received support from Allah SWT.

"I am supported by Almighty Allah," said Pramono after attending the declaration of support from the Indonesian Ulama and Santri Forum (FUSI) of DKI Jakarta, Sunday, November 10.

Previously, Ridwan Kamil (RK) announced that he and Jakarta deputy gubernatorial candidate Suswono were supported by President Prabowo Subianto. In fact, RK admitted that he was running in the Jakarta gubernatorial election at Prabowo's request. This was revealed 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 the RIDO pair (Ridwan-Suswono). The RIDO pair is here because it was born from Mr. Prabowo Subianto's number one request," said RK.

RK assessed that regional governance will run according to expectations if the regional head has a good relationship with the central government. The community assistance program 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 was the governor of West Java but was asked by Mr. Prabowo to take care of Jakarta, yes. So, I was chosen and directed by the President to take care of Jakarta," said RK.
