JAKARTA - Head of the Depok City Mayor's Office of PKS Depok DPD, Bobby Hermanto, explained that the name of Deputy Mayor of Depok Imam Budi Hartono was getting stronger to be nominated as Mayor of Depok in the 2024 Depok Regional Election. "The name Imam Budi Hartono is getting stronger starting from the structure and members. And also very, very dominant because he is a cadre who has been in Depok for a long time who has been active in politics for 30 years," said Bobby Hermanto at the DPD PKS Depok City, Antara, Wednesday, July 5. The Depok City PKS DPD has carried out an internal selection for the prospective mayor of Depok, the selection for candidates for regional head candidates in the 2024 mayorial election (Pilwakot) through the mechanism for selecting candidates for the main internal election line or Pemira. As a result, three names emerged, namely Deputy Mayor of Depok Imam Budi Hartono, Gamal Albinsaid (Chairman of Youth DPP PKS) and PKS Spokesperson Mohammad Kholid. Bobby said that based on the instructions for the winner of the Depok Regional Election, the first stage was the selection carried out through cadres through member election units and also proposals from the structure. In Depok there are 600 member selection units for 3,600 cadres. "Of the three names proposed, they will be reduced to one name to the West Java PKS DPW which will be forwarded to the DPP to be determined as a candidate for Mayor of Depok," said the General Secretary (Sekum) of the Depok PKS DPD. Bobby said that the decree on determining the candidate for mayor of Depok City would be accelerated because regional head candidates must be involved in the legislative election. "So before the campaign period, there will be an initial determination of regional head candidates. "So they have a political contract in winning the PKS legislative election. So in August there will be a determination," explained Bobby. Meanwhile, the treasurer of the Depok City PKS DPD, Ade Supriatna, added that his party prepared the best cadres with the idea of building a city and making people prosperous. "Make Pilkada a place for the war of ideas and present ideas for the progress of the city," he said.
