Meanwhile, the Ministry of Home Affairs will also provide three other names. Thus, there will be six names of candidates for the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta who will later be elected by President Joko Widodo.

"The letter (proposal of the name of the candidate for Pj) from the Ministry of Home Affairs was only received yesterday, as is the information from the Chairman of the Council. It will definitely be discussed by the Council (DPRD) before it is submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs," Rani said in a short message, Thursday, September 1.

However, Rani admitted that she did not know when the Kebon Sirih parliament would discuss the determination of the three Acting Officers to be proposed.

So we haven't discussed this in the DPRD because we are currently still focusing on discussing the 2021 APBD (response to APBD)," said Rani.

Previously, the Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian said that his party had sent a letter to the DKI Jakarta DPRD to prepare the proposal for the replacement names of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.

"We have sent a letter to the DKI DPRD, yesterday I signed it. Later from the Ministry of Home Affairs there may be three names, three DPRD names," Tito said in a meeting with Commission II of the DPR RI at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, August 31.

After six names were handed over by the DPRD and the Ministry of Trade to Jokowi. The head of state will hold a meeting to determine the acting governor who will replace Anies.

"What will certainly develop whatever the decision is," said Tito.
