JAKARTA - Chairman of the Nasdem Faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Wibi Andrino, admitted that he did not agree if the DKI DPRD also proposed the names of the candidates for the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta to the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri). Because, if the DPRD participates in submitting the proposal for a candidate for the Acting Governor of DKI to replace Anies Baswedan, who will serve until 2024, Wibi is worried that there will be political attractions for the benefit of their respective parties in the DKI parliament. "So, I think, never mind, don't roll out too much hot balls to the DPRD, provide recommendations so that there is an interesting political attraction," said Wibi when contacted, Monday, September 5. Therefore, Wibi said that it would be better for the candidate for Acting Governor to be directly elected by President Joko Widodo through the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri). "So, the decision is directly from the central government," he added. However, Wibi asked for a selection process for the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta such as a fit and proper test which was carried out transparently by the central government. Thus, the DPRD and the public can also assess that the selected figure is indeed worthy of leading Jakarta for the next two years. "We still want it to be open. For example, the central government finds the names who are candidates for the Acting Governor. Before being appointed, a track record is given to the public. So, we can judge that this person is worthy," he said. 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. Later, there will be about six names to replace Anies who will be submitted to President Joko Widodo. In detail, there are three names proposed by the DKI DPRD and three names from the Ministry of Home Affairs. "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 submitted by the DPRD and the Ministry of Trade each to Jokowi. The head of state will hold a meeting to determine the acting governor who will replace Anies.
