Chairman of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh declared that his party is not one that must support its cadres in regional elections (Pilkada), but rather supports figures with a high chance of winning.

The General Election (Pemilu) is a primary pillar in the implementation of people’s sovereignty in Indonesia. This process marks an important moment in the practice of democracy, where citizens have the right to elect their leaders directly, freely, secretly, honestly, and fairly.

4. Vote Counting

After voting ended, the ballot boxes were counted transparently in front of witnesses from each candidate. The vote count results from each TPS were then announced and considered provisional results.

“One factor is electability, right, and the second is capability. That’s clear. Sahroni may have capability, we are confident in that, he is a young man, but his electability for the Jakarta field needs to be carefully considered,” said Paloh.

Of the many Pilkada stages, Warits revealed that all stages have vulnerable points for supervision. “The points are in many aspects, right now in the Voter List Update (Pantarlih) stage, later in the candidacy stage. Candidacy must also be supervised, as well as the campaign stage. Campaigns must not violate regulations and must especially avoid intimidation. There should be no intimidation from authorities or election officials who get involved. They must not force people to direct or win certain candidates. I think we must protect this together,” Warits stated.

This was conveyed by Fahmi at the Readiness Roll Call of Voter Data Update Officers (Pantarlih) for the Jakarta gubernatorial election (Pilgub) at the Jakarta International Velodrome, Rawamangun, East Jakarta, on Monday. “Yes, there has been an increase compared to the 2024 General Election. In the 2024 General Election, our number of voters was 8,252,897,” stated Fahmi.

The voting and recapitulation process in the 2017 DKI Jakarta Pilkada was crucial and involved active public participation. With transparent and honest procedures, the results of the 2017 DKI Jakarta Pilkada were expected to be acknowledged by all parties and represent the true will of the people in choosing regional leaders.

**KPU DKI Prepares for Two-Round Jakarta Pilkada** The DKI Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU) is preparing for the stages or second round of the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub. Especially since the two-round Pilgub is unique to Jakarta as a special region. This was shared by DKI Jakarta KPU Chairman Wahyu Dinata at the Launch of the Stages, Jingle, and If you liked this article and you would like to get more info pertaining to Pkb Pilkada jakarta i implore you to visit our own web page. Mascot for the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub at the South Side of the National Monument (Monas), Central Jakarta, on Saturday night (May 25, 2024). The event was also attended by KPU RI Commissioner Betty Epsilon Idroos, August Mellaz, Head of the Jakarta National Unity and Political Agency (Kesbangpol) Taufan Bakri, and members of the Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda). “The DKI Jakarta KPU has also planned the second stage, which is only implemented in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta as mandated by Law Number 2 of 2024 concerning the Special Region of Jakarta,” said Wahyu.

The second round of the 2017 DKI Jakarta Pilkada featured two candidate pairs: Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga Uno, and the incumbent, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, known as Ahok. Anies Baswedan was a former Minister of Education and Culture, while Sandiaga Uno was a businessman and former deputy chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin). The two candidates were supported by different political coalitions, with Anies-Sandi backed by Gerindra, PKS, and PAN, and Ahok-Djarot supported by PDI-P, Golkar, and Hanura.

According to Fahmi, there has been an increase of 62,000 in the DPT for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. This increase was found by KPU Jakarta after synchronizing the List of Potential Voters (DP4) from the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kementerian Dalam Negeri) with the DPT from the 2024 General Election. “In the upcoming Pilkada, the number of DPT after synchronization is 8,315,669, so there has been an increase of 62,000 voters,” he stated. Fahmi clarified that the increase in the DPT for the Pilkada occurred due to the high population activity in Jakarta. Therefore, the DPT for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada can still change. “Population activity in Jakarta is very dynamic. Today there may be 8,315,669 voters in the list, but in a week or a month, there could be changes due to people moving in or out, or deaths,” he stated.

**Realize a Good Pilkada** Because of the many ‘dawn attacks’ in the last election, Warits reminded that this Pilkada must be protected together, synergized together to be honest, fair, and safe from all fraud. “Yes, we must guard it together. Because it is impossible for Bawaslu alone, the KPU only has six people with its secretariat in each sub-district. Three PPS, three PPS secretariat. They have six people plus seven PKD members, seven people in each village guarding sub-districts with thousands of residents, even tens of thousands. To guard against ‘dawn attacks,’ it’s impossible to handle alone. Therefore, it must be guarded together,” Warits stated. Warits mentioned that citizens can only vote in the Pilkada if their mental condition is not insane or they are sane. This means that those who can vote are those who think and are normal. “Do not let the thoughts of the people who can vote be bought at a very cheap price, even cheaper than a chicken. That is an insult to the people. Because those who cannot think should not vote. For example, insane people are regulated by law and should not be included in the DPT. Thus, synergy among all of us is necessary to realize a better Pilkada. I think it’s important,” he stated.
