JAKARTA - Jakarta gubernatorial candidate Ridwan Kamil prayed that the Persija soccer team could win Liga 1, the highest caste competition in Indonesia.

Ridwan Kamil's prayer began when he attended his grand campaign event held at Cendrawasih Field, Cengkareng, West Jakarta, Thursday, November 14.

Then, Kang Emil, his nickname, greeted the people present. Of course, he slipped in a sentence asking for support.

"It turns out that Jakarta people are friendly, right? It turns out that Jakarta people are good at taking selfies, right? Amazing," said Ridwan Kamil.

Then, Kang Emil asked a question about who wants to see Persija win again.

"Try it, who thinks Jakarta people are cool, where are your votes? Who are Jakarta people who are friendly? Who are Jakarta people who want Persija to win again?" he said.

According to him, if Jakarta is led by a blessed leader, Persija will win League 1.

"God willing, we will win again. If the leader is blessed, God willing, Persija will also be blessed," he said.
