JAKARTA - Candidate for Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta number 1, Suswono will exercise his voting rights in the West Java Pilkada, precisely in Bogor City with his family because he cannot exercise his voting rights in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

"As a citizen, using the right to vote is the obligation and responsibility of each individual. Even though my voting location is outside Jakarta, my commitment to democracy, transparency and a better future in Jakarta remains steadfast. This is a form of my contribution as a citizen who obeys the rules," he said, quoting Antara.

Suswono explained that after using his voting rights, he would immediately join the winning team to monitor the results of the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada quick count.

The Minister of Agriculture for the 2009-2014 period also explained that this decision fully refers to the provisions of the General Elections Commission (KPU) which does not require a regional head candidate to exercise his right to vote in the area where he is running.

"The main focus of the RIDO (Ridwan Kamil - Suswono) campaign is listening to the aspirations of the people of Jakarta and realizing relevant programs and having a real impact on their citizens," he said.

Meanwhile, regarding the campaign period, Suswono is optimistic that their struggle during the campaign period will produce results that will bring Jakarta to a positive change in Jakarta's new: Advance the City, Happy the Citizens.

"In the rest of the campaign period, we maximize our efforts. We hear a lot directly the aspirations of the residents and receive very touching prayers and support. This is a mandate that we will fight for until the end," said Suswono.

The 2024 Jakarta Pilkada vote will take place on November 27, 2024. The DKI Jakarta KPU has determined three pairs of candidates (paslon) for the governor and deputy governor of DKI Jakarta to run in the DKI Jakarta Regional Head Election (Pilkada) on Sunday (22/9).

The three candidate pairs are Ridwan Kamil-Suswono (RIDO) and Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana (Dharma-Kun) from independent and Pramono Anung-Rano Karno (Pram-Doel).
