JAKARTA - Jakarta gubernatorial candidate Pramono Anung went to the polling station (TPS) with his wife, Endang Nugrahani and daughter, Hanifa Fadhila to exercise their right to vote in the 2024 Pilkada.

Wearing a brown shirt with a white ondel-ondel motif, Pramono left his residence for TPS 046, Cipete Selatan Village, Cilandak District, South Jakarta, which is 300 meters away at 7:30 WIB.

Although today is the day to determine his vote acquisition in the Jakarta gubernatorial election, Pramono admitted that he slept soundly last night from eleven at night until this morning.

"I am one of those who, even though I can't sleep for long, I never sleep restlessly, thank God I can sleep soundly," said Pramono when met at his residence, at H. Ambas street, Cipet Selatan, South Jakarta, Wednesday, November 27.

Pramono hopes that the election organizers, namely the General Election Commission (KPU) and the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu), as well as the 2024 Pilkada participants can maintain the democratic contestation well.

"Anyone involved in the gubernatorial election process in Jakarta maintains democracy well, and hopefully it will not be harmed or tarnished in any form, because choosing a leader is choosing a figure. If it is not good at the beginning, it will not be good later on," explained Pramono.

Pramono also hopes that he and his deputy candidate Rano Karno can win the Jakarta gubernatorial election in just one round with more than 50 percent of the vote.

There is nothing special about TPS 046. The voting organizers (KPPS) only wore Betawi traditional clothes with TPS ornaments with red and white tents decorated with ondel-ondel.

There were 549 permanent voters registered at the TPS where Pramono voted, consisting of 265 male voters and 284 female voters.

The DKI KPU has set the permanent voters list (DPT) for the 2024 Pilkada at 8,214,007 voters. Of this number, the largest DPT is in East Jakarta with 2,374,828, followed by West Jakarta with 1,909,774, then South Jakarta (1,748,961), North Jakarta (1,345,815), Central Jakarta (813,721) and the Seribu Islands with 20,908 people.
