JAKARTA - Gerindra Party Daily Chair Sufmi Dasco Ahmad said the couple for Dedi Mulyadi who was promoted as a candidate for governor in the West Java head election (Pilkada) would come from the Golkar Party. "The name, a day or two (announced)," said Dasco at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Antara, Monday, August 5. As for the 2024 Pilkada in several major provinces, according to him, there will be parties that are members of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) Plus, including in the Jakarta Pilkada. However, he has not mentioned which parties will join the KIM Plus. Meanwhile, the former Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, who was previously predicted by the Golkar Party to run in the West Java Pilkada, according to him, has been agreed by KIM Plus to run in the Jakarta Pilkada. He also ensured that KIM Plus's existence would later aim to advance Indonesia. Even so, he also did not prohibit other parties from carrying out other candidates in the Pilkada because democracy has freedom. Previously, Gerindra Party DPP Secretary General Ahmad Muzani said his party looked at Dedi Mulyadi to run in the 2024 West Java Provincial Head Election. In addition, the Golkar Party has also recently proposed a two-term former Purwakarta Regent, Dedi Mulyadi, to run as a candidate for Governor of West Java in the 2024 Pilkada.

Dedi had previously participated in the West Java Pilkada contestation in 2018. At that time, he ran as a deputy governor candidate to accompany Deddy Mizwar as a candidate for governor.
