Commitment to Service
“For both of us (Ridwan Kamil-Suswono), there is no end to serving the nation. Each of us will always harbor aspirations and a sense of dedication, and we will continue to operate within those realms, in any capacity. The avenues of service to the country are numerous.”
Bestowing Congratulations and Expressing Gratitude
Ridwan Kamil, while acknowledging the best interests of Jakarta’s residents, graciously accepted the election outcome and congratulated Pram and Rano. He expressed gratitude to supporters, including the endorsing party, community organizations, volunteers, and the entire campaign team.
No Legal Challenge
While indicating that they had prepared a legal challenge for the Constitutional Court based on significant findings requiring clarification, including through consultations with leaders and experts, Ridwan Kamil revealed that, following deliberations and considering public fatigue from prolonged electoral processes, they decided not to contest the election results.
Hope for the Future
Ridwan Kamil entrusted the aspirations of nearly 40% of voters who supported RIDO (Ridwan-Suswono) to the victors, expecting them to fulfill this trust in governing Jakarta for the next five years. He also thanked Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana for the competition and expressed hope that the election winners would carry out their duties diligently.
