Complete Composition Of The 2023 Formula E Committee: PDIP Cadres To Former Racers

JAKARTA - PT Jakarta Propertindo revealed the composition of the Formula E or Jakarta E-Prix 2023 committee which will be held on June 3 and 4. Like last year, the committee was divided into two, namely the steering committee (SC) or the steering committee and organizing commitment (OC) or the organizing committee.

"As the organizer, Jakpro has also prepared the composition of the committee starting from SC and OC to the condition of the circuit which is well maintained and still according to FEO standards," said VP Corporate Secretary Jakpro Syachrial Syarif in his statement, Wednesday, March 1.

Syachrial explained that the position of Chairman of SC Formula E 2023 is still held by the Chairman of the MPR RI Bambang Soesatyo. Then, there are 6 Deputy Chairmen of SC. Bambang and his six representatives are administrators of the Indonesian Motor Association (IMI).

Two of them are PDIP cadres, namely Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution and DKI Jakarta DPRR Chairman Prasetyo Edi Marsudi.

Then, Ahmad Sahroni is now also Deputy Chairman of the OC. In Formula E last year, this member of the DPR RI took the position of Chairman of the Implementing Committee.

Then, two national racer figures were also included in the ranks of SC representatives, namely Tinton Soeprapto and the owner of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Indonesia, Ricardo Gelael. Also, the owner of the Sundanese Kitchen restaurant, Andono Eko.

Then, there are two people who fill the OC position or the Implementing Committee, chaired by former racer Ananda Mikola and his deputy is Akbar Himawan Buchari who now serves as Chairman of the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (HIPMI).

In a press conference in Ancol, North Jakarta yesterday, Bambang Soesatyo (Bamsoet) revealed that two PDIP cadres, Prasetyo and Bobby were included in the committee.

When Formula E was held when Anies Baswedan was still the Governor of DKI Jakarta last year, Prasetyo and President Joko Widodo's son-in-law were not involved in the committee, nor were they even present at the racing event.

During Formula E's planning several years ago, Prasetyo also loudly highlighted the criticism of the Formula E event in terms of budget usage. Therefore, when he was included in the committee, Bamsoet hoped that Prasetyo would no longer be harsh in highlighting Formula E.

"I was entrusted with greetings by Pak Pras to my friends who supported this activity. Hopefully, Pak Pras will not be so fierce again," said Bamsoet.

Then, continued Bamsoet, Bobby, who is now part of the committee, also hopes that the Formula E event can reap economic benefits, both to the government and the people of Jakarta.

"Mas Bobby also sends greetings. He hopes that this event will be successful and hopes that this event can provide economic benefits for the people of Jakarta, especially the Indonesian people in general. This includes the hope of increasing PAD DKI Jakarta from levies," he said.

The Formula E race in 2023 will be held for two days on June 3 and 4. Jakarta gets two series, namely series 10 and 11 of the 16 series of world justice series. Now, Jakpro continues to coordinate with Formula E Operation (FEO) as the license holder of Formula E regarding the preparation for the race. PT Jakpro as the BUMD organizer of Formula E again appointed the Indonesian Motor Association (IMI) as the technical person in charge of this year's Formula E race.
