PPP Registers 106 Bacaleg To Seize 10 Seats Of DKI Jakarta DPRD

JAKARTA - The United Development Party (PPP) has officially registered 106 candidates for the legislature (Babileg) of the DKI Jakarta Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) at the DKI Jakarta KPUD.

In a press conference at the DKI Jakarta KPUD Building, the Chairperson of the DKI Jakarta PPP DPW Saiful Rahmat Dasuki said that his party is targeting ten seats in the DPRD in the upcoming 2024 General Election.

"We are sure that we will achieve this hope to realize PPP with 10 seats in the DKI DPRD in 2024, which in the previous election was borrowed," he told reporters, Thursday, May 11.

In the registration process for the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Saiful admitted that there were several administrative problems that made the registration process quite long.

It is known that the PPP registration process starts at 14.00 WIB if it is on schedule but only finished around 17.00 WIB.

Saiful Rahmat Dasuki is optimistic that his party will return to glory in DKI Jakarta in the upcoming 2024 General Election.

"Alhamdulillah, PPP has completed the initial stage to register the legislative candidates who God willing, will be a legislative candidate in the next process. Earlier, the KPU leadership has verified and everything has gone according to the rules," he said.

In a statement to the media, Saiful said that of the 106 Bacaleg of the DKI Jakarta DPRD registered were new faces and consisted of Kyai, Ustadz, Entrepreneurs and Activists in Jakarta.

Responding to this, Muhamad Helmi Romdhoni from the Indonesian Public Advocacy Network, who is also the Legislative Officer of the DKI Jakarta DPRD from PPP appreciated the decision of the Chairman of the PPP DPW, Saiful Rahmat Dasuki, who accommodated Jakarta activists to participate in the contestation in the 2024 General Election.

"I agree with Chairman Saiful's decision, because by accommodating activists to participate in the Legislation Body, it means that PPP will revive its political motor as the largest Islamic Party," said Helmi.

Helmi continued, with the rise of PPP in boosting the votes for the 2024 General Election in Jakarta through the activist movement within the party, the pattern of community confidence will also move at the lower level.
