PDIP Has Prepared Names For Pilkada DKI

JAKARTA - Currently, the PDI-P Central Leadership Council has prepared the names of candidates who will participate in the upcoming DKI Jakarta Regional Head Election (Pilkada) contest. It's just announced after the determination of the election time.

"The name already exists but has not been conveyed to the public," said Secretary of the DPD PDI Perjuangan DKI Jakarta, Gembong Warsono, Tuesday, January 26, 2021.

The reason is, he admitted that the party was deliberating on cadres. This cadre preparation is in accordance with the party's function to prepare cadres in the legislative and executive branches.

"It means, 2022 or 2024, we just get ready to face the political event in DKI Jakarta," said Gembong.

"If there will be a change in the law, of course we, the KPU, as the election organizer, will wait for further developments," said KPU I Commissioner Dewa Kade Wiarsa Raka Sandi.

This is because the General Election Commission (KPU) is waiting for the DPR's decision regarding the regional head elections (Pilkada) in 2022 and 2023. The DPR will revise the Law on General Elections.
