For The First Time His Candidate Has Passed The DKI DPRD, Perindo Admits That It Has Not Matched The Target

JAKARTA - One candidate for the DKI Jakarta DPRD from the Perindo Party has passed the 2024 Legislative Election. The imi period is the first time Perindo candidates have entered the Kebon Sirih parliament.

However, Chairman of the Regional Leadership Council (DPW) Perindo DKI Jakarta, Effendi Syahputra, said that this achievement had not yet touched their ambitious target.

"We are grateful that Perindo will finally be present in Jakarta and will also oversee the policies of the Jakarta government for the next 5 years, even though it is beyond our target," said Effendi via text message, Friday, March 15.

In this year's DKI DPRD legislative election, Effendi admitted that Perindo is targeting 1 seat per electoral district (dapil). Of the total number of DPRD electoral districts in Jakarta, it means that Perindo is targeting at least 10 seats in the DPRD.

Effendi also explained the reason why the party, which was just founded in 2014, only got one seat in the DPRD, namely the tightness of the vote struggle to a campaign strategy that was less than optimal.

"The level of competition is high in Jakarta, including fellow political parties and legislative candidates. All political parties and legislative candidates are ready to fight, not only perindo. There are also several party strategies that are not optimal," said Effendi.

However, with the entry of Perindo cadres in the DKI DPRD, Effendi hopes that his party can play a role as a party's mouthpiece in supervising the running of the Jakarta government until taking part in this year's DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election.

"The most important thing is that Perindo is present to color politics in DKI Jakarta and of course we will take part in the future elections and the DKI Jakarta Regional Head Election," he explained.

For information, the General Election Commission (KPU) of DKI Jakarta Province has determined the results of the election for the DKI Jakarta DPRD for the period 2024-2029. This is stated in the DKI Jakarta Provincial KPU Decree Number 33 of 2024.

As a result, PKS became the political party with the most votes in the 2024 DKI Jakarta DPRD legislative election. PKS also received the highest number of seats. PDIP is now the party with the second most votes and the third Gerindra.

The following is the dispute over the number of votes and seats of political parties in the DKI Jakarta DPRD:- The National Awakening Party (PKB): 470,682 votes (10 seats) - the Greater Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra): 728,297 votes (14 seats) - the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP): 850,174 votes (15 seats) - the Golkar Party (Golkar): 517,819 votes (10 seats) - NasDem Party: 545,235 votes (11 seats) - Prosperous Justice Party (PKS): 1,021,028 votes (18 seats) - The National Mandate Party (PAN): 455,906 votes (10 seats) - Democratic Party: 444,314 votes (8 seats) - Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI): 465,936 votes (8 seats) - Perindo Party: 160,203 votes (1 seats) - United Development Party (PPP): 153,240 votes (1 seats)
