The General Election Commission (KPU) of West Java has appointed Alfiansyah Komeng as the winner of the votes acquired by the Regional Representative Council (DPD) from West Java Province.

This decision was announced through the reading of the recapitulation of votes from 54 candidates for DPD members in all electoral districts in West Java by the Commissioner and Chair of the West Java Province KPU Data and Information Division, Ahmad Nur Hidayat, at the West Java KPU Building, Bandung.

"The results of this DPD recapitulation have been ratified in 56 concurrently and signed by the chairman and member of the West Java KPU commissioner and the witnesses of the individual candidates for DPD members who attended. This decision is considered valid," said Ahmad, Monday, March 18.

Based on data from the West Java KPU, the results of the recapitulation of votes for the DPD RI placed Alfiansyah Komeng as the senator candidate with the most votes, namely 5,399,699 votes, followed by Aanya Rina Casayanti with 1,976,561 votes, Jihan Fahira with 1,823,907 votes, and Agita Nurfianti with 1,168,837 votes.

Although there were other names who won votes above one million, such as the controversial former Garut Regent Aceng Fikri with 1,128,912 votes, and Amang Syarifudin with 1,108,516 votes, only four names were entitled to be senators at Senayan.
