Brilio.net - Sule's name is currently in the public spotlight as one of the figures considered to have great potential to win the Regional Head Election (Pilkada). This is inseparable from his confession that he had been contacted by two famous celebrities, Raffi Ahmad and Gilang Dirga, regarding the possibility of his candidacy in the 2024 Pilkada.
In a broadcast on Kaesang Pangarep's YouTube channel, GK Hebat, Sule revealed the details. It was said that Raffi and Gilang had contacted him to offer him to become a Deputy Regent Candidate.
However, the comedian chose to reject all offers to enter politics. When Kiky Saputri mentioned the political dowry, Sule revealed the reason why he rejected the attractive offer.
"Not enough dowry, bro?" asked Kiky.
"No, how can it be because the knowledge isn't there yet," replied Sule.

Rizky Febian's father even suspected that the offer came just to boost his popularity. Given his background as an artist.
"It's only possible if you use me for popularity. Well, what else do you try, why am I being offered it?" said Sule, quoted by brilio.net from Liputan6.com, Tuesday (03/9).
Sule is aware that his popularity can be a capital to advance in the Pilkada contest that will be held soon. However, he does not hesitate to admit that he has no capacity at all to become a regional head and does not want to rely only on popularity.
"Then what will I do later? What do I know? How can I just keep quiet because it doesn't match my knowledge and skills. It's not my part," continued Sule.

Even so, the 47-year-old man does not feel uncomfortable often getting offers to be part of practical politics. He does not close his eyes to the many artists who get jobs to fill certain candidate campaigns.
"Humans are social, interacting, it doesn't have to be boring. We can also get income from them, entertaining. There's nothing wrong with them inviting us to campaign," he explained.
Sule decided to be on the side of the people and support the candidate pair who are ready to fight for the interests of the people. According to him, there is no problem supporting a pair who really want to work for the people.
"If I just follow it. What do they want to do to convey the people's aspirations, we just support them. We pray for them. If their goal is right for the people, why don't we support them," he emphasized.
