JAKARTA - The 10th and 12th Vice President Jusuf Kalla (JK) voted in the Jakarta Regional Head Election (Pilkada) accompanied by his wife, children, and grandchildren at TPS 02 located in the yard of SMA Pangudi Luhur Pulo, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.

JK and his wife walked to TPS 02 located behind his residence at 09.30 WIB.

After casting his vote, the General Chairperson of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) expressed his gratitude for being able to choose the next candidate for Jakarta leader according to his conscience.

He also hopes that the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections that are taking place can run democratically and safely.

"Yes, so that the regional elections are carried out democratically and safely. Hopefully the leader who is elected will be of substance," he said.

In addition, he also hopes that the next leader of Jakarta is a leader who is able to bring balance to each region because according to him, the leader of Jakarta should not only focus on developing in one region.

The problems in Jakarta that he highlighted were slum areas, flooding, and traffic jams. He hopes that the next Governor of Jakarta can fix these problems.

"For example, by building Kampung Melayu, Tanjung Priok, and slum areas, flood areas. Those must be built first," he said.

The DKI Jakarta KPU has determined three gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates to run in the Jakarta Pilkada.

The three candidate pairs are Ridwan Kamil-Suswono (RIDO) number 1, Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana (Dharma-Kun) from independents number 2 and Pramono Anung-Rano Karno (Pram-Doel) number 3.

A total of 8.2 million voters who have been determined as the permanent voter list (DPT) for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada will exercise their voting rights at 14,835 polling stations (TPS) on November 27, 2024.

The series of Jakarta Pilkada campaigns have been carried out from September 25 to November 23, 2024.
