JAKARTA - The Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, assesses that his candidacy to become the regional head of West Java for the second time is more realistic than running as a presidential candidate (candidate) in 2024.
"If not (the 2024 presidential declaration) there is no problem, right, twice the Governor of West Java is also more realistic, roughly so," said the man who is familiarly called Kang Emil, when met at the National Library of Indonesia, Jakarta, Saturday, January 29.
However, Kang Emil admitted that he would not refuse if the opportunity as a presidential candidate in 2024 came to him.
"Reporters ask if they are ready or not, if there is a chance, bismillah, my answer is always the same," he said.
Furthermore, Ridwan admitted that he was considering many things. One of them is advancing through the vehicle of a political party, the National Mandate Party (PAN). He said in the middle of this year, he would announce it to the public.
"Yes, many things are being considered. Later in the middle of the year I will report it to my media friends," explained Kang Emil.
As previously reported, Emil ensured that he would continue to focus on working as regional head regarding the government's decision to agree on the election schedule for Wednesday, February 14, 2024.
"Regarding the timing of the election that has been knocked. I think the question of the presidential candidate is high, but I convey that my focus will still be on working, yes I am happy that 2022 is because a lot of work has been completed," said Ridwan Kamil, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, January 25.
