Rano Karno's name is being discussed ahead of the 2024 simultaneous Regional Head Elections (Pilkada). This is inseparable from the news that he is being supported by the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) to run in the Jakarta gubernatorial election.
Previously, Rano Karno was mentioned as a candidate for deputy governor of Jakarta alongside Anies Baswedan. However, in the announcement of PDIP's regional head candidates (cakada) stage 3 on Monday (26/8), the names of both were not announced at all.
Until surprisingly PDIP decided to nominate Pramono Anung. The senior PDIP cadre who now serves as the Indonesian Cabinet Secretary was chosen as Rano Karno's running mate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada contest. Both have officially registered at the Jakarta KPUD on the second day of registration, Wednesday (28/8).
PDIP's decision to nominate Rano Karno as a candidate for deputy governor marks a new chapter in his political career. The man widely known as "Si Doel" is now on the verge of an opportunity to represent and seek votes from the citizens of DKI Jakarta.
However, Rano is no stranger to politics . Before his nomination as deputy governor of DKI Jakarta, he had served in various political roles.
For more details, here is Rano Karno's political career journey, summarized by brilio.net from various sources, Wednesday (28/8).
In 2015, Rano Karno was appointed Governor of Banten, replacing Ratu Atut Chosiyah, who was found guilty by the Corruption Court (Tipikor).
