Regarding The DKI Regional Head Election, PSI: No Governor Elected For 2 Periods

JAKARTA - Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Desk, Justin Adrian, assessed that the Jakarta Pilkada is difficult for the incumbent governor-deputy governor-deputy candidates to win.

Because, Justin stated, so far no incumbent governor candidate has managed to return to lead Jakarta in the second term.

"If we look at historical travel, it seems that no governor has been elected twice, from the general election directly elected by the people. In Jakarta there has been no governor for 2 terms," Justin told reporters, Wednesday, May 29.

Ahead of the registration for the 2024 Pilkada, the name of former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan is predicted to return to progress for the second period after leading the capital city in 2017-2022.

However, when asked about Anies' chance to win in the DKI Jakarta Pilkada, Justin admitted that he could not judge it.

"Maybe I can't make assumptions either, I can't judge yet," said Justin.

Meanwhile, PSI DKI Jakarta also opens space for anyone including Anies to register as a candidate for his regional head.

"Of course we open the door for everything, but if it's a matter of course something else, but if it's accepted or not, we accept it, but we don't necessarily carry it," he said.

PSI previously also looked at a number of cadres who could potentially be promoted in the DKI gubernatorial election. One of them is the Deputy Chairman of the PSI Board of Trustees, Grace Natalie.
