JAKARTA - The chairman of the PKS DPP, Mardani Ali Sera, thinks it is natural for residents to ask Anies Baswedan's term as Governor of DKI Jakarta to be extended. However, there is a binding rule that Anies' term ends in 2022 and is replaced by an acting governor.

Mardani denied that he supported the discourse on extending the governor's term of office. It is known, previously that PKS often criticized the issue of extending the term of office of the president to three terms.

Therefore, Mardani emphasized that all leaders must follow the applicable rules, including Anies. Because, when he steps down in 2022, Anies will be replaced by the acting governor.

"Everyone follows the rules. The Regional Head Election Law, all regional heads have their officials," said Mardani to VOI, Sunday, April 10.

Previously, Mardani responded to two Jakarta residents, A Komarudin and Eny Rochayati, who asked that Anies Baswedan's term as Governor of DKI Jakarta be extended.

According to him, the extension was not Anies' wish, but the hope of the citizens of the capital.

"I'm sure it's not what Mas Anies wants. This is the hope of some DKI residents," said Mardani in Jakarta, Friday, April 8.

It is known that Anies' term as governor of DKI Jakarta will end in 2022. Meanwhile, Simultaneous Regional Head Elections will be held in 2024. Furthermore, this member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from DKI Jakarta assesses that Anies's kindness has been felt by the citizens of Jakarta. So, he said, it was natural for some to ask for their positions to be extended. "There is a lot of goodness from Mas Anies that the residents of Jakarta feel. It is natural to want Mas Anies to be extended," he said.

Even so, the member of Commission II of the House of Representatives reminded that the expectations of the citizens of DKI Jakarta would certainly be met with Law Number 10 of 2016. He also believes that Anies will also comply with the constitution and applicable laws. Mas Anies as far as I know is very obedient to the constitution and laws and regulations. So just enjoy the dynamics, "he said.
