Jambi Mayor Syarif Fasha has officially submitted a letter of resignation as mayor of Jambi.

Syarif Fasha said the resignation letter had been submitted on May 9, 2023, addressed to the Jambi Governor to be submitted to the Minister of Home Affairs, also notified to the Jambi City KPU, Jambi Provincial KPU and Jambi City DPRD.

"I have submitted the resignation application letter before registration to the KPU, and it is currently being processed because it is still being consulted with the Ministry of Home Affairs," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, May 23.

The resignation letter was submitted as a condition for becoming a candidate for legislature for the Jambi electoral district of the DPR.

The letter of resignation has also been received and there is a receipt from the Governor of Jambi through the Regional Secretariat of Jambi Province.

Furthermore, the letter will be brought by the Governor of Jambi and submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chairperson of the Jambi City DPRD, Fauzi, said that the Jambi City DPRD had received a letter of resignation from Syarif Fasha.

Furthermore, the DPRD is only waiting for the decree to be dismissed from the Ministry of Home Affairs to then hold a plenary meeting for the replacement process.

If there are still remaining positions in that period, it will be replaced by the Deputy Mayor of Jambi.

Fauzi said the procedure for submitting the resignation of the Jambi mayor was appropriate because it was a condition for advancing in the 2024 Legislative Election.

As Mayor of Jambi, the position of Syarif Fasha will end in November 2023.
