The Gerindra Party is reported to have endorsed Ridwan Kamil to run in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

Anies Baswedan only smiled slightly when he learned of the claims of Jokowi’s meddling. He did not want to elaborate on the matter. “All processes are still ongoing, just let it be,” Anies said when met after attending a meeting with the DKI Jakarta Pancasila Youth MPW in Pejaten, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (19/6/2024). Furthermore, Baswedan mentioned that he currently gives importance to issues related to the prosperity of Jakarta residents over other matters. “For us, the main issue is the welfare of Jakarta residents. It’s not about who will be the partner, that’s not the point, and the process is still long, just go with the flow,” Baswedan said. Previously, the Chairman of the PDI-P Central Executive Board, Djarot S., assessed that there were signs that President Widodo would meddle again in the 2024 Pilkada. Reacting to President Jokowi’s plan to Distribute Aid Before Pilkada This was in response to President Jokowi’s intention to prolong distributing social aid in the form of rice until December 2024. “We not only detect meddling but witness it plainly and openly, in Javanese it’s clear as day,” said Hidayat at the PDIP DPP Office, Diponegoro Road, Jakarta, on May 16, 2024. “Meaning, the meddling is very clear, very visible. It’s very apparent,” he went on. Djarot Saiful Hidayat emphasized that the prolongation of social aid until December constitutes an misuse of authority. PDIP Requests Election Commission and Supervisory Body to Intervene Therefore, PDIP asked the General Elections Commission (KPU) and the Election Oversight Body (Bawaslu) to investigate these evidences. Djarot Saiful Hidayat hopes that the overreach by President Jokowi, which occurred during the 2024 Presidential race, will not be replicated in the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections. “We really demand the electoral authorities, to carefully oversee. Including the media and the youth. Especially since the aid will be continued until December,” he highlighted.

Meanwhile, Ridwan Kamil admitted that he has secured task letters to compete in the 2024 Pilkada. However, he has not determined whether to run in the West Java or Jakarta Pilkada. According to him, this is still being discussed at the Golkar Party DPP and will be decided soon. “Still considering, just wait until July,” Ridwan Kamil said when met by reporters at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali Airport on Friday, May 31, 2024.
