The General Election Commission (KPU) of DKI Jakarta Province has officially dropped the name Aldi Taher from the list of prospective members of the DKI Jakarta DPRD legislature proposed by the United Nations.

This was done after the submission of the results of the administrative verification of candidates for DPD and DKI Jakarta Provincial DPRD.

Aldi taher shocked the public for becoming a legislative in two political parties, namely the United Nations as a member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD and the Perindo Party as a member of the DPR RI for the West Java electoral district.

DKI Jakarta KPU member Dody Wijaya said the KPU had asked for clarification from the two parties to state that Aldi Taher was confirmed as his leg.

"When there is a multi-nomination, this party must clarify it to the person concerned, so choose which party and which electoral district. It turns out that there is no statement at the United Nations. What is in the perindo party in the DPR RI," said Dody when contacted, Monday, August 7th.

Because there is no clarification from the United Nations. The KPU issued the name Aldi Taher from the legislative list of the DKI DPRD in the 2024 Legislative Election.

"So, at the United Nations as a candidate for the DKI Jakarta DPRD, the status is not eligible," said Dody.

Currently, the election stage is in the period of eliminating the temporary candidate list (DCS) until August 11, 2023. At this stage, the KPU also provides opportunities for political parties to improve their legislative nomination files.

Given, there are still 139 baulaleg DPRD DKI who do not meet the requirements. Meanwhile, 1,720 baula legs of the DKI Jakarta DPRD and 25 bacapleg DPD RI electoral areas of DKI Jakarta have met the requirements.

At this time, Dody said that the UN could repair files by replacing Aldi Taher with other cadres as baulaleg of the DKI Jakarta DPRD.

"In this DCS funeral room, we will be able to find out whether a new candidate or what. It should be replaced with a new candidate if you really want to include a new bacalon, because its status (Aldi Taher) does not meet the requirements in DKI Jakarta," he added.
