The special staff of the Minister of Home Affairs, Kastorius Sinaga, said that his party would verify the names of the three candidates for the Acting Governor of the DPRD proposed to serve for the two years. "Later this will be verified first, the formal requirements, the administration, and then will be brought to the Minister of Home Affairs," said Kastorius at the Ministry of Home Affairs office, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, September 14. Although these three names are the result of the members of the council, Kastorius stated that his party must still check administrative requirements and other things. For example, the track record of the candidates for the Acting Governor. "To the public, we want to convey the process of appointing the Acting Officer covering various considerations. So, we consider this process as something that fulfills the wishes of the community, that this is democratic and accountable," he said. After being verified, the Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian will bring the names of the candidates for the Acting Governor, with three names proposed by the DPRD and three other names proposed by the Ministry of Home Affairs, to President Joko Widodo. "Later, the President will directly lead the discussion regarding institutions or related ministries to be decided because the authority lies with the president," he said. For information, Tuesday, September 13, the DPRD has determined the names of three candidates to replace Anies Baswedan who will lead Jakarta from October 17 until the Governor of DKI has just been inaugurated according to the results of the 2024 General Election.
