JAKARTA - The PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD has been outspoken about their desire to determine who the Acting Governor (Pj) of DKI Jakarta is.

Apparently, PDIP did not want the names of the three candidates who had been submitted by the DKI DPRD to the Ministry of Home Affairs as Acting Governor of DKI, but Tri Rismaharini, who now serves as Minister of Social Affairs.

"The PDI-P faction of DKI Jakarta actually wants to encourage Mrs. Risma as the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta," said Chairman of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Gembong Warsono to reporters, Thursday, September 15.

According to Gembong, Risma deserves to lead Jakarta during 2022 to 2024 because she is considered successful as Mayor of Surabaya for two terms.

However, PDIP failed to apply for Risma's name because it was hampered by regulations. According to the rules, the person appointed as the acting regional head is ASN who occupies the position of echelon I structure with a class of at least IV/C.

"After coordinating with the DPD and the PDI-P DPP, we finally proposed 3 names as Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta," said Gembong.

Even so, regarding the names of the three Acting Candidates that have been submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Gembong assesses that they have met the requirements as Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta and are optimistic that the names chosen will be able to continue construction in Jakarta.

Also, being able to execute programs that have not yet been completed by the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan.

"In our opinion, of the three names, qualified and able to approach like the figure of Mrs. Risma in charge of Surabaya, hopefully the name chosen will carry out the main tasks as the Acting Governor seriously and ensure that in order to fulfill the village head's expectations for handling development problems," he explained.

For information, Tuesday, September 13, the DKI DPRD has determined the names of three candidates to replace Anies Baswedan who will lead Jakarta from October 17 until the Governor of DKI has just been inaugurated according to the results of the 2024 election.

This was obtained from the results of a joint leadership meeting (rapimgab) of nine factions of the DKI DPRD. Each faction has three names proposed. Thus, a total of 27 votes will be gathered to screen the candidate for Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta.

As a result, four names were netted, namely the Head of the Presidential Secretariat Heru Budi Hartono, Regional Secretary of DKI Jakarta Province Marullah Matali, Director General of Polpum Kemendagri Bahtiar, and Deputy IV Presidential Chief of Staff for Information and Political Communication Juri Ardiantoro.

From the results of a meeting chaired by the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, it was shown that Heru got 9 votes, Marullah 9 votes, Bahtiar 6 votes, and the jury got 3 votes. Automatically, the name of the jury died to be proposed by the DPRD to the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Yesterday, the names of Heru, Marullah, and Bahtiar were brought by Prasetyo to the Ministry of Home Affairs for the three names of the candidates for the Acting Governor of the DKI Jakarta DPRD proposal will be juxtaposed with three other names chosen by the Ministry of Home Affairs. In the end, President Joko Widodo will choose one of the names to serve as Acting Governor of DKI.
