JAKARTA - The Regulations (Tatib) regarding the election of the Deputy Governor of DKI have been ratified by the DKI DPRD and DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan. This rule will be used by the voting committee (panlih) as a reference for the election mechanism.

Jakarta DPRD Chairman Prasetio Edi Marsudi said, in the near future, the DPRD will form a committee consisting of a chairperson and member structure. This committee comes from the respective representatives of all factions in the DPRD.

There were exceptions which were agreed upon verbally by all DPRD members. Three factions, namely Gerindra, PKS, and PDIP may not be chairperson of the committee.

"The chairperson of the committee is not from Gerindra, PKS and PDIP. So, the position of chairperson of the committee is handed over to 6 other factions," said Prasetio when he was met at the DPRD DKI Building, Jalan Kebon Sirih, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, February 19.

The reason for the ban, said Prasetio, was to avoid suspicion of political games. Given, Gerindra and PKS are the parties that bear the two candidates, namely Ahmad Riza Patria and Nurmansjah Lubis.

Meanwhile, the reason for the ban on the chairperson of the PDIP committee was to avoid a conflict of interest from Prasetio, who is from the PDIP faction. Given, Prasetio holds the highest position in the DKI parliament.

Fit and proper test in the form of question and answer

In addition to the selection of the nomination documents, the election committee will arrange a fit and proper test mechanism. In the fit and proper test, the DPRD did not present experts.

Later, a fit and proper test will be formed openly in a plenary session. First, the two candidates were asked to convey their vision and mission in helping DKI Governor Anies Baswedan to lead Jakarta.

After that, it was followed by a question and answer discussion between DPRD members and the cawagub. The test is carried out in a plenary meeting.

"We just want to know the extent to which these two candidates understand the Jakarta problem," said Prasetio.

Until finally, each faction gathered to vote (voting) in private. Then, the results of the votes were read out again in the plenary meeting until one name was elected as Deputy Governor of DKI.

There are conditions on which the selection process should be held. The election plenary meeting will be held if the number of members of the DKI DPRD who are present meets the quorum requirements, namely 3/4 of the total members of the DPRD. The elected Cawagub must get 50 percent + 1 of the number of DPR members present.
