This decision is inspired by his commitment to present a different choice, presenting a new perspective and background to the people of Banten, beyond the long-standing ruling dynasty in the region. Wismansyah’s tenure in Tangerang has been acknowledged for creativity in city management and comprehensive infrastructure improvements, creating a firm groundwork to advance Banten Province. In this context, he is resolved to championing social fairness, long-term development, and equitable development throughout Banten. Arief expressed his willingness to face the challenges of the Banten election with a vision aimed at positive progress and improvements for all societal layers. He disclosed that his decision to run was initially unexpected, but the motivation from the community and his family made him reconsider. He stated that a meeting with VP Ma’ruf Amin significantly influenced his decision to run. “I was invited by Mr. Ma’ruf Amin, and we had a meeting. He asked, are you really running, Mr. Arief? If you want to run, you have to win; if you’re not sure you can win, don’t run, he said. I agreed with him. Eventually, on Monday afternoon, I decided to run,” Arief said when met in the Karawaci neighborhood of Tangerang City, Sunday (23/06/2024). Arief also shared his views on the prevailing political dynasty in Banten, noting the polarization in the community related to this dominance. Nevertheless, he is optimistic about running with renowned contenders in the region. “I hope to work together with the people of Banten to develop jointly, including with the existing dynasties,” he added. Arief highlighted his willingness to collaborate with various parties for the progress of Banten, without sacrificing the interests of the people. “Whatever the outcome, I hope the next leadership can deliver the best for Banten,” he concluded. With this step, Arief Rachadiono Wismansyah asks the people of Banten to back a shared vision in advancing the region through the upcoming election.

One option is to endorse A. Baswedan in the upcoming election in late 2024. “Regarding our colleagues at PDIP, we are very welcoming of working with PDIP and all parties, not just in DKI, but in other regions as well,” said D.

So, the announcement is just a trivial technicality. The main point is we are united in vision. Now, we just wait for the formal announcement,” said D. Johan. “As for the running mate, that’s up to the Pilkada desk to finalize, developing everything to a team, including the deputy. We look forward to the Pilkada desk’s statement,” he ended.

The culmination of these accusations suggest of a political election process that, according to Ari Yusuf Amin and the Anies-Cak Imin camp, is filled with manipulation and disturbance. Such actions, if proven real, can significantly influence the autonomous structure of the political election, weakening public count on and the legitimacy of the electoral results.

Director General of Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil) Irman stated that in updating voter data for the simultaneous regional elections starting at the end of 2015, a one-door system is used. This ensures that there are no duplicate voter data. “The guarantee is that we manage the population database with an online system. Therefore, duplicate data, God willing, will no longer exist,” said Irman after the handover of the Potential Voter Population Data (DP4) at the Ministry of Home Affairs building in Jakarta, Wednesday, June 3, 2015.

**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 advised. 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 said.
