JAKARTA - Today's memory, six years ago, April 15, 2020, President Joko Widoo (Jokowi) appointed Ahmad Riza Patria as Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta. Jakarta residents then hoped that Riza's presence would be able to accompany Anies in handling all Jakarta problems.
Previously, Sandiaga Uno's resignation from the position of Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta brought problems. The position of Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta is vacant. The Gerindra Party and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) are considered too long to determine the name of the candidate. This condition has created pressure from Jakarta residents.
The presence of Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga Uno has brought a new color to Jakarta since 2017. The new Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta have many teachings to build Jakarta. They try to surpass their predecessors Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) and Djarot Saiful Hidayat.
Anies-Sandi tried to fix the traffic jam. They designed public transportation. The two then tried to improve the living conditions of Jakarta residents. However, the narrative is not easy. Sandi feels that building Jakarta requires a high level of focus.
The narrative was then further revealed when he officially chose to accompany Prabowo Subianto in the 2019 Presidential Election. Sandi is increasingly convinced that leading Jakarta must be serious. Sandi also chose to resign from his position as Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta since 2018.
He felt that his duty as Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta was not easy. His choice to resign was considered a wise move. As a result, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan and the carrying party were able to find a replacement for Sandi.
Not to mention, Sandi himself does not want any conflict of interest when he participates in political contests. Sandi's decision is appreciated by many parties. Sandi is considered an example of a politician who upholds the issue of political ethics.
Problems arise. Sandi's departure did not make the carrying party, the Gerindra Party and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) immediately determine the candidate for Deputy Governor. The debate regarding who the candidate is seen to take a long time. Anies himself is waiting for the name that is approved.
"Not yet, I'm also surprised. There is none, there is none. So far as I know, at the provincial level (DPD Gerindra and PKS DPW) the letter has been signed," said Anies as quoted by lamandetik.com, February 28, 2019.
The mystery regarding the candidate for Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta who replaced Sandi was finally answered in 2020. The Gerindra and PKS parties officially chose the candidate and submitted it to the DKI Jakarta DPRD. Finally, the name Ahmad Riza Patria was chosen to accompany Anies.
In short, President Joko Widodo then appointed Ahmad Riza Patria as the new Governor of DKI Jakarta. Riza was expected to immediately work to build Jakarta.
Riza is considered to be able to immediately help Anies in breaking the chain of transmission of the corona virus in Jakarta. Jakarta residents hope that Riza's presence can bring significant changes.
"I swear to uphold the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and to carry out all laws and regulations as straight as possible and to serve the community, the nation, and the nation," said Riza as quoted by the ANTARA website, April 15, 2020.
