Not A Vice Presidential Candidate, Ridwan Kamil Aims For The Jakarta Gubernatorial Election

West Java (Jabar) Governor M Ridwan Kamil said he was aiming for opportunities in the West Java Regional Head Election (Pilkada) or DKI Jakarta in 2024.

The two regional elections are called the most rational opportunity for him to be able to compete again in the political arena in the near future.

"So that my options are the same, continue the governor, later in November 2024 it will be between West Java or DKI (Jakarta). And the survey is both good," said Governor Ridwan Kamil at the Pakuan State building, Bandung City, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, May 25.

Ridwan Kamil said he did not have time to rest after his term as Governor of West Java which expired on September 5, 2023.

"I'm not 'leg'. I've served as an executive for 10 years, namely 5 years as mayor, 5 years as governor. So if there is a break, I am very happy. Because I never have personal time either," he said.

However, Ridwan Kamil said that until now he could not say that his statement would be in line with the Golkar Party's decision.

He ensured that the blessing of the Golkar Party regarding who would be nominated for the West Java Regional Election or DKI Jakarta would be determined after the legislative and presidential elections in February 2024.

"Not yet for the party's blessing, because later after February (Pileg and the 2024 presidential election). However, if you talk today, the two provinces have good surveys," said Ridwan Kamil.
