JAKARTA - Gerindra Party Daily Chair Sufmi Dasco Ahmad confirmed the circulation of an instruction letter from Gerindra Party Chair Prabowo Subianto to the entire community to support the candidate pair for governor and deputy governor Ridwan Kamil - Suswono in the 2024 Pilkada.

"I have checked that the letter was indeed issued by Pak Prabowo as General Chair or Chairman of the Gerindra Party Board of Trustees carrying the candidate pairs Ridwan Kamil and Suswono," said Dasco as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, November 25.

In the letter circulating, Prabowo explained that Jakarta still has an influence on the development of the nation.

Jakarta's progress in any field will affect developments throughout Indonesia.

Therefore, Prabowo assessed that Jakarta needed to be led by experienced bureaucrats such as Ridwan Kamil and Suswono.

In the hands of Ridwan Kamil and Suswono, Prabowo believes that Jakarta will become a more advanced city and have a good influence on the progress of the nation.

"That's why I, H. Prabowo Subianto as the General Chair and Chair of the Gerindra Party Board of Trustees, urge and appeal to my brother who I respect and I am proud to use the power, sovereignty that is in your hands. For your country, help your nation, use your right to vote to win the pair number one (1) HM Ridwan Kamil - H Suswono (Rido) as Governor and Deputy Governor of Jakarta in the next 5 years," Prabowo said in the letter.

The Gerindra Party carries the former Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil and PKS cadre Suswono to fight in the Jakarta Pilkada.

They fought with the pair Pramono Anung and Rano Karno who were promoted by the PDI-P and Dharma Pongreku- Kun Wardana Abyoto as independent candidates.
