The Chairman of the General Election Commission (KPU) Husni Kamil Manik stated that the initial simultaneous regional elections in the first period of 2015, which will be held on December 9, will be the most extensive regional elections ever held in Indonesia. While the regional elections are not yet completely synchronized, the projected number in the Potential Voter Population Data (DP4) is the most numerous in Indonesia’s regional elections. He continued, the voter count recorded currently goes beyond 50% of the voter list in the 2014 Presidential Election. The number of 269 regions holding the regional elections also surpasses 50% of the total 514 regions in Indonesia. “This is the largest regional election to date. This is a milestone, but it also poses a challenge for us,” said Husni after the handover of the DP4 at the Ministry of Home Affairs building in Jakarta on Wednesday, June 3, 2015. The first period of simultaneous regional elections will be held at the end of the year for the election of 269 regional heads and their deputies, including 9 governors and deputy governors, 224 regents and deputy regents, and 36 mayors and deputy mayors. According to Law Number 8 of 2015, simultaneous regional elections are carried out in stages: the first stage on December 9, 2015, the second stage in February 2017, the third stage in June 2018, the fourth stage in 2020, the fifth stage in 2022, and the sixth stage in 2023. “If all these stages proceed smoothly and according to plan, the nationwide simultaneous regional elections can only be held in 2027,” said Husni. >> Data Updating System Chairman of the KPU Husni Kamil Malik said that the synchronized regional elections will be held on December 9, 2015. Husni acknowledged that updating the voter data in 2015 is simplified. He stated that compared to the 2014 Presidential Election, the current data updating process is more straightforward. In the previous election, data was obtained not only from the Ministry of Home Affairs but also from local governments. “For this year’s data, the source is only one. Previously, there were two sources: the KPU and local governments. The update process is more straightforward; there is no need to collect data again. Now, synchronization is unnecessary,” said Husni after the handover of the Potential Voter Population Data (DP4) at the Ministry of Home Affairs building in Jakarta, Wednesday, June 3, 2015. He explained that this way, the local KPU no longer needs to debate in the field about the voter list data they brought to be cross-checked down to the neighborhood level (RT). “Our officers only need to bring the data. This makes it easier for election organizers and guarantees better data quality,” added Husni. Meanwhile, in the handover, the KPU received a total DP4 of 102.068 million. Subsequently, the KPU will provide the data in soft copy format to the local KPU levels. The local KPU will then hand over the data to the voting committee to be verified in the field, corrected, and forwarded to each district or city. The district or city will then issue a provisional voter list to be distributed to the public for review before the final voter list is published. The Ministry of Home Affairs handed over the DP4 to the KPU on Wednesday, June 3, 2015. This data is a list of potential voters who have the right to vote in the simultaneous regional elections held at the end of 2015. Secretary-General of the Ministry of Home Affairs Yuswandi A Tumenggung stated that the DP4 data will be used by the KPU as the basis for compiling the voter list for the first period of the 2015 simultaneous regional elections. In previous regional elections, the mechanism for handing over the DP4 before the regional elections was not first handed over through the governor and/or regent/mayor but directly handed over to the KPU chairman. “Later, the KPU chairman will continue the handover of the DP4 to the provincial and district/city KPU, and it will continue to roll to the Voting Committee (PPS),” said Yuswandi when handing over the DP4 data to KPU Chairman Husni Kamil Malik at the Ministry of Home Affairs building in Jakarta. The PPS, in this case, plays a role in updating the data together with the Voter Data Updating Officers (PPDP) to match the data in the field. The results of the update will be further processed from the Provisional Voter List (DPS) to the Final Voter List (DPT). Yuswandi stated that the number of potential voters registered in the DP4 reached 102.068 million people. This number is the total number of potential voters who will participate in the election of 269 regional heads/deputy regional heads this time. >> Eliminate Duplicate Data

The Executive Director of Indonesian Political Parameters stated that the current conditions and situation are still very dynamic, given that the Pilkada is still six months away. Therefore, it is natural for political leaders to still be discussing potential names to nominate. If you adored this write-up and you would certainly like to get more information relating to High-speed facial recognition kindly check out our own site. However, based on current survey data, there are only two major names. “Anies is still the strongest, closely followed by RK,” he said, as quoted on Saturday (8/6/2024). Other names, although appearing in surveys, are still not competitive enough to compete with Anies Baswedan or RK. “If a name like Anies can run, the only suitable opponent is RK. Other names are not yet competitive,” Adi said.

“One thing to watch out for in every democratic event amid the rapid digitalization and social media is the susceptibility to the spread of hoaxes and hate speech with ethnic, religious, racial, and inter-group (SARA) nuances, which have the potential to create polarization that can divide the unity of society,” said Edy in Palangka Raya, quoted from Antara, Friday (June 21, 2024) .

The discussion addressed inflation and the 2024 regional elections (Pilkada). “Oh yes, when party leaders meet, they discuss many things. But what we discussed was inflation. We also talked about the Pilkada,” Zulhas told reporters in the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta, on June 14, 2024. Zulhas said he suggested ex-Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, to be put forward for the 2023 Jakarta Pilkada. According to him, the proposal was approved by the party chairpersons who attended the meeting. “Yes, I suggested Ridwan Kamil in Jakarta, and everyone was in agreement,” he remarked. When asked whether Kaesang would run with Ridwan Kamil in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada, Zulkifli Hasan said that it had not been decided yet. However, he stated that the party leaders needed Kaesang to secure the Pilkada. “Yes, I believe so. I informed at that time to the President whether Kaesang could. The President said, ‘No’. But the parties need him,” he added. “Yes, but the parties need him. For what? To win,” continued. He thinks that Ridwan Kamil wouldn’t mind whoever runs with him in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada, as long as it ensures victory. Zulkifli Hasan mentioned that Ridwan Kamil’s deputy will be discussed by the party leaders. “Mr. RK (Ridwan Kamil) would accept anyone as long as they ensure victory. As long as they win, we will decide together,” said Zulhas.

Only one pair of independent candidates for governor and deputy governor of Jakarta submitted their support documents to the Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU) by the deadline. This pair is Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana. The KPU DKI Jakarta officially closed the submission of support documents for prospective governor candidates on Sunday, May 12, 2024, at 11:59 PM WIB. “We announce that by the deadline for submitting support documents for independent or individual candidates at 11:59 PM WIB, there is only one pair, namely Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana,” said KPU DKI member Astri Megatari in Jakarta, according to Antara.

As per Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Chairman of the Daily Board of the Gerindra Party, this idea is considered by his faction as only an aspiration. “Yes, the current situation is merely a discussion in the media, and we consider it only an aspiration and it has not reached the level of party talks within the Advanced Indonesia Coalition,” said Dasco at Rumah Kertanegara, South Jakarta, on Friday, (June 7, 2024). Meanwhile, Kaesang stated that the decision regarding his nomination for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada will be decided in August. “As I stated before, wait for the surprise in August,” said Kaesang at the PSI Office in Jakarta, on Friday (June 7, 2024). He indicated that there is a surprise regarding whether he will run in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The youngest child of President Jokowi requested everyone to wait patiently as the registration for the candidates for governor and deputy governor through political parties will begin from August 27 to August 29, 2024. “The registration is still far off, it is still in August, at the end of August. Wait,” he said, as quoted by Antara. Previously, on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Chairman of the Daily Board of the Gerindra Party, posted a photo of Budisatrio Djiwandono alongside Kaesang Pangarep on his personal Instagram account @sufmi_dasco, with the caption “For Jakarta 2024.” Besides posting Budisatrio with Kaesang, Dasco also posted a photo of Budisatrio with public figure Raffi Ahmad in the style of a pair campaign poster on his personal Instagram. On Thursday, April 18, 2024, Ahmad Muzani, the Secretary-General of the Gerindra Party, mentioned that the candidate in preparation for the Jakarta Pilkada is still under consideration. The Gerindra Party possesses several youthful figures, including Budisatrio Djiwandono and Moreno Soeprapto. “We possess a strong candidate, especially a fresh and young figure,” he said at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta. Claimed Prohibition by Jokowi, Kaesang Pangarep: That’s Mr. Zulhas’s Version of the Story Head of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Kaesang Pangarep, also addressed the statement that he was prohibited by President Jokowi from running in the Jakarta Pilkada. According to Kaesang, that version belongs to the Head of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, alias Zulhas. “That’s Zulhas’s version of the story,” he said. He then turned the question back to the media. “So, have you listened to my side of the story yet?” questioned Kaesang. Upon receiving this, a number of journalists requested him to explain, but Kaesang chose to keep it to himself. “It’s a confidential,” said Kaesang before departing. Previously, Head of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, said that President Jokowi prohibited his youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep, from running for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. “Earlier, I asked the President after the meeting. ‘Sir, what about Kaesang running for Jakarta deputy governor?’ ‘Oh no,’ he said, ‘Don’t do it, Mr. Zul,'” Zulkifli Hasan said at the PAN DPP, South Jakarta, on Monday, (June 3, 2024). Zulhas earlier proposed that Kaesang team up with Zita Anjani in the Jakarta Pilkada because he desired Jakarta to be led by young people. “Kaesang is young, I even proposed it before, ‘Sir, I suggested it a year ago, what if Jakarta is led by young people, Kaesang.’ That was about a year ago, if I’m not mistaken,” he mentioned. Although the Supreme Court (MA) has changed the age limit for regional head candidates, giving Kaesang the chance to run for the Jakarta gubernatorial election, Jokowi nevertheless prohibited it. “‘Now it’s allowed, Sir.’ I mentioned earlier, yes, then who is the one who filed the lawsuit, right. Now it’s allowed, it was legally contested. ‘Don’t do it, Mr. Zul,’ that’s about it,” he said. PSI Secretary-General Says No Internal Discussion Yet About Kaesang Running for 2024 Pilkada The Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Kaesang Pangarep, is the potential to run as a gubernatorial candidate after the Supreme Court (MA) issued a regulation regarding the age of regional head candidates. However, there has been no decision from Kaesang on whether he will run for regional head. Kaesang has been rumored to participate in the Jakarta gubernatorial election after his poster appeared alongside Gerindra politician and Prabowo’s nephew, Budi Djiwandono. The Secretary-General of PSI, Raja Juli Antoni, revealed that there has been no internal discussion regarding the youngest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) running in the 2024 Pilkada. “No (internal discussion yet),” said Antoni at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, on Monday (June 3, 2024). Antoni mentioned that whether Kaesang will run this year depends on Kaesang himself. Furthermore, the coalition parties of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) need to deliberate whether it is beneficial for Kaesang to run in the Pilkada or not. “Ask Mas Kaesang,” he said. “It depends on Mas Kaesang and KIM what they decide,” remarked Antoni. **2024 Pilkada Schedule** Here is the schedule for the 2024 Pilkada stages: 1.
