Chairman of the General Election Commission (KPU) Hasyim Asy'ari said he would ask for clarification regarding the nomination of candidates for legislative members (caleg) Aldi Taher to the Crescent Star Party (PBB) and the Perindo Party.

"Later, after the verification in question is registered more than once by more than one party and more than one type of representative institution, we will clarify the party. In fact, what party members are the members concerned?" said Hasyim at the KPU Office, Central Jakarta (Jakpus), Wednesday, May 24, confiscated by Antara.

For this reason, the KPU will examine the list of submissions for candidate Aldi Taher. Meanwhile, Aldi Taher is running as a member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD from PPB and a member of the DPR from Perindo.

According to Hasyim, if Aldi Taher has left one of the parties that registered himself as a candidate in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu), then the party must submit a letter of resignation to the KPU.

"Later we will check his resignation letter, is it there or not? Has it been submitted to the KPU or not? The KPU is considered to know that the KPU has received his resignation letter," he said.

He considered that the legislative candidate could only be promoted by one political party (political party).

"For example, if party A is nominated for DPR, that's all. You can't, for example, nominate it by party A as well for provincial or district / city DPRDs. Likewise, more than one political party," said Hasyim.

Previously, the DKI Jakarta KPU had communicated with the United Nations regarding the clarity of artist Aldi Taher as a candidate for DPRD member in 2024.

"Today we have confirmed it to the UN regarding it," said the Commissioner of the DKI Jakarta KPU for Technical Affairs for the Implementation of the Nurdin Election when contacted in Jakarta, Tuesday, May 23.

According to Nurdin, the United Nations said Aldi Taher was included in the management of the party's Central Leadership Council (DPP). But on the other hand, Aldi also ran for a member of the DPR from the Perindo Party.

If Aldi Taher decides to run with Perindo for the DPR seat, then the UN must hand over the replacement for Aldi Taher.

"If, for example, advancing in the Perindo Party, it means that he must resign, then his successor will be prepared," said Nurdin.

His party could not confirm who else would be a candidate at the DKI KPU who was caught registering with the DPR through a different party.

PBB proposed celebrity Aldi Taher to boxing promoter Asmara Roni as a candidate to compete for seats in the DKI Jakarta DPRD in the 2024 General Election on Saturday, May 13.
