JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Sudirman Said and Abdullah Mansuri are running as candidates for governor and deputy governor of DKI Jakarta individual route. This pair follows Dharma Pongrekun and Noer Fajrieansyah who previously declared themselves running as candidates for governor.
The support team for Sudirman, Dharma, and Noer has consulted with the DKI Jakarta General Election Commission to fulfill the support requirements and procedures for fulfilling support for the regional head elections (pilkada) on November 27 2024. However, only Sudirman and Dharma's supporting team applied for access to the candidacy information system (silon).
After that, both Sudirman and Dharma's supporting teams were required to obtain 618,968 supports as proven by ID cards and statements of support. This number must also be spread across at least four administrative regions in accordance with Decree KPU DKI Jakarta Number 47 of 2024 concerning Minimum Requirements and Distribution of Support for Individual Candidate Pairs in the Election of Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Year 2024.
The Election Commission of Jakarta will wait for the support team to complete the requirements until Sunday (May 12, 2024). Then, it will be followed by administrative verification from May 13-30, 2024, and factual verification within the period of June 3-16, 2024.
"Sudirman Said and Abdullah Mansuri consulted yesterday afternoon. Their team and Dharma have also applied for silon access. We will wait until Sunday to complete the requirements that will be verified," said Chairman of the Technical Division of the Jakarta KPU Election Organizer, Dody Wijaya, on Friday (10/5/2024).
The Election Commission of Jakarta will wait for the support team to complete the requirements until Sunday (May 12, 2024). Then, it will be followed by administrative verification from May 13-30, 2024, and factual verification within the period of June 3-16, 2024.
The Jakarta General Elections Commission (KPU) provides assistance desks for Sudirman and Dharma's support teams if they are facing difficulties in entering data into Silon. Registration and verification will still proceed according to schedule.
Dody ensures that Silon can filter double data or more than one and duplicate data that exists on each individual candidate. Double data will automatically become one, while duplicate data will be clarified directly to ensure one endorsement.
"If there are 10 identical ID cards, they will automatically become one. For double support, they will be asked to choose or support one," he said.
Sudirman is one of the supporters of presidential and vice-presidential candidate pair number 1, Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar in the 2024 presidential election. His partner, Abdullah, leads the Indonesian Market Traders Association. This association also supports Anies and Muhaimin in the 2024 presidential election.
Sudirman, who was contacted separately, stated that several figures and communities have long asked him to consider participating in the regional elections in Central Java and Jakarta. They have initiated various initiatives, such as exploring the requirements to run independently.
"I respect their aspirations. Several political parties have also communicated asking about their availability to be nominated," said Sudirman, Friday afternoon.
He is considering everything carefully and will make a decision at the right time because running or not running in the regional elections is a public matter. It is not his personal agenda.
"So let the public manage the process," he said.
Invite PPS
Apart from the frenzy of candidacy for governor and deputy governor, Jakarta still lacks Voting Committee (PPS) officers in a number of sub-districts. This deficiency was overcome by extending registration and taking the ball by the KPU to the field.
The Jakarta General Elections Commission (KPU) requires 801 Voting Station Working Committee (PPS) for the upcoming local elections. The registration of PPS officials has been open through online and at the KPU DKI Jakarta office from May 2nd to May 8th.
"Yesterday, there were dozens of neighborhoods with PPS numbers lacking 1-2 people. We are making efforts to actively recruit and extend registration until May 11," said the Chairman of the Socialization, Voter Education and Community Participation Division of the Jakarta General Elections Commission, Astri Megatari.
East Jakarta is lacking PPS in 16 neighborhoods, South Jakarta in 23 neighborhoods, West Jakarta in 14 neighborhoods, Central Jakarta in 19 neighborhoods, and Kepulauan Seribu in 2 neighborhoods.
