JAKARTA - The Regional Leadership Council (DPD) of the Central Jakarta Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) proposed 6 names of candidates for the Governor of DKI Jakarta to be promoted in the 2024 Pilkada.

The chairman of the Central Jakarta PSI DPD, Hervin Afriansya, said that the six names were formulated from the results of the plenary session. The aspirations of the constituents were also accommodated in the trial.

"We have involved various elements of society, especially in Central Jakarta and listened to their aspirations to ensure that the recommended candidates are the best and most appropriate to lead Jakarta in the future," Hervin said in his statement, Sunday, July 7.

The six names of the DKI Jakarta cagub proposed by the DKI Jakarta PSI DPD are PSI Chairman Kaesang Pangarep, Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono, then former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil.

Then, Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, former member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD for the 2014-2019 period Fajar Sidik, and Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Prasetyo Edi Marsudi.

Herevin said that the proposed six names of candidates for the DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election resulting from this plenary meeting would be submitted to the PSI Jakarta Regional Leadership Council (DPW) for further training or selection, before being proposed to the Central Executive Board (DPP).

"This selection process is very important to ensure that PSI Jakarta can carry candidates who have integrity, competence, and a clear vision to advance Jakarta," said Hervin.

Previously, the DKI Jakarta PSI DPW said there would be a surprise in August 2024 regarding the name of the candidate for the Governor of DKI to take part in the Simultaneous 2024 Governor and Deputy Governor Election (Pilgub).

"Candidates are of course still very dynamic, as stated by the chairman, Mas Kaesang in many meetings, namely waiting for the surprise in August," said Chairman of the DKI Jakarta PSI DPW Elva Farhi Qolbina during a visit to the NasDem State Defense Academy (ABN) building, Jakarta, Tuesday, June 25.

Elva explained that his party is still attracting potential parties to be able to solve DKI Jakarta problems such as congestion issues, waste emergency in Jakarta and community welfare problems, especially the problem of social assistance (bansos) that is not on target.

"This means that there must be more concrete synergies and collaborations later at the legislative level," he said.
