**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 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,” stated Wahyu.

Engaging the general public and Civil Culture

Prabowo understands that the government can not fight corruption alone. His administration intends to motivate public reporting of corrupt practices and strengthen partnerships with NGOs dedicated to eradicating corruption.

Anies only gave a slight smile when he heard about the claims of Jokowi’s intervention. He did not want to elaborate on the matter. “All processes are still continuing, just let it flow,” Anies Baswedan said when interviewed after attending a gathering with the DKI Jakarta Youth Organization MPW in Pejaten, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (19/6/2024). Furthermore, Anies Baswedan said that he currently prioritizes issues related to the prosperity of Jakarta residents over other matters. “For us, the main issue is the prosperity of Jakarta residents. It’s not about who will be the partner, that’s not the point, and the process is still long, just let it flow,” Baswedan said. Previously, the Chairman of the Central Board of PDI Perjuangan, Djarot Saiful Hidayat, assessed that there were evidences that President Widodo would be involved again in the 2024 local elections. Reacting to Jokowi’s Intention to Continue Social Assistance Distribution Before Pilkada This was regarding President Widodo’s intention to continue distributing social assistance (bansos) in the form of rice until December. “We not only smell intervention but observe it distinctly and openly, in Javanese it’s clear as day,” said Hidayat at the Head Office of PDI Perjuangan, Diponegoro Road, Jakarta, on May 16, 2024. “Meaning, the intervention is very clear, very visible. It’s very evident,” he went on. Hidayat highlighted that the prolongation of social assistance until December amounts to an misuse of authority. PDIP Requests Electoral Commission and Oversight Agency to Address the Issue Therefore, PDI Perjuangan asked the Electoral Commission and the Election Oversight Body (Bawaslu) to look into these indications. Hidayat desires that the overreach by President Widodo, which occurred during the 2024 Presidential race, will not be seen again in the 2024 Pilkada. “We really demand the polling organizers, to truly supervise. Including the media and the youth. Especially since the aid will be extended until December,” he stressed.

Similarly, political analyst from UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, Adi Prayitno, sees PKS’s move to bring up the name Sohibul Iman as a political bargaining chip for anyone wanting to form a coalition in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. According to Adi, PKS wants to increase its bargaining position because it is the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta. Additionally, the solid voter base and constituency make PKS confident in proposing its own cadre. “In this context, PKS seems to be sending a strong signal to those wanting to form a coalition, including Anies Baswedan, that it is essential to include Sohibul Iman as a running mate,” said Adi Prayitno to Liputan6.com on Monday, June 24, 2024. “Or, if Ridwan Kamil from KIM is interested in making PKS a coalition partner, then Sohibul Iman must be his running mate,” Adi added.

Besides Ahok, Rapidin mentioned several other names have registered with PDIP to run for the North Sumatra gubernatorial election. These include incumbent Edy Rahmayadi and Musa Rajekshah, also known as Ijeck.

Anies hopes that Jakarta’s residents can find happiness and also highlighted the goal of making Jakarta a progressive city for its inhabitants. “We want Jakarta’s residents to feel progress and be happy,” said Anies

Strengthening Legislations and Laws

Another essential facet of Prabowo’s method is the fortifying of legislations and policies related to corruption. This consists of modifying existing regulations to shut loopholes that may be made use of by corrupt individuals and introducing new regulation that supplies more clear interpretations and harder penalties for corrupt tasks. The objective is to create a lawful atmosphere that discourages corruption and guarantees that those that take part in such activities are held liable.
