Heru Budi Concerning The Advancement Of The 2024 DKI Regional Head Election: Full Of Mystery, Let The Universe Answer

JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono has yet to decide to run for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

"Look, tomorrow is full of mystery, let the universe answer," said Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono in response to the press after the 2024 Jakarta International Marathon (JAKIM) in Jakarta, Sunday, June 23, which was confiscated by Antara., When asked by the press about the reasons and so on, Heru seemed to just smile and did not comment further.

Previously, the DKI Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU) stated that the candidate pair for governor and deputy governor of DKI Jakarta Province from the Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana individual route did not meet the administrative requirements for improving the nomination supporting documents in the regional elections.

"Of the 1,229,777 data uploaded to Silon (The Candidate Information System), 447,469 were declared eligible (MS) and 782,308 did not meet the requirements (TMS)," said Head of the DKI Jakarta KPU Technical Division Dody Wijaya.

Dody said that the amount of support to meet the requirements (MS) was still less than minimal support, which was 618,968 people who had been determined so that the administrative verification status for prospective individual pairs was declared ineligible.

The DKI Jakarta KPU has also mapped the polling stations (TPS) for the 2024 DKI Jakarta Governor and Deputy Governor Elections and there are differences with the 2024 General Election.

"The TPS for the Jakarta gubernatorial election will decrease by 50 percent compared to yesterday's election," said Head of the DKI Jakarta General Elections Commission (KPU) Data and Information Division (KPU) Fahmi Ziryptah.

According to him, the DKI Jakarta Provincial KPU is compiling a voter list based on data from the synchronization of the Potential Election Voter Data (DP4) with the last election DPT, which was 8,315,669.

This figure increased by 62,772 voters compared to the DPT for the 2024 General Election, which was 8,252,897 voters.

He explained that the preparation of the voter list was carried out by mapping polling stations, namely dividing voters for each polling station to a maximum of 600 people.

"The results of this TPS mapping will be used as material for updating voter data to be matched and researched by voter data updating officers from June 24 to July 24, 2024," he said.

Fahmi said that in the 2024 gubernatorial election, the number of polling stations will certainly decrease compared to the 2024 election because the maximum available voters can reach 600 people.

As for the 2024 election, there are 300 registered voters, so there is a reduction in polling stations in DKI Jakarta by more than 50 percent.

"In yesterday's election, there were more than 30 thousand TPS. So, in this gubernatorial election, it is possible that only 14 thousand TPS are," he said.
