**KPU DKI Prepares for Two-Round Jakarta Pilkada** The DKI Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU) is preparing for the stages or second round of the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub. Especially since the two-round Pilgub is unique to Jakarta as a special region. This was conveyed by DKI Jakarta KPU Chairman Wahyu Dinata at the Launch of the Stages, Jingle, and Mascot for the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub at the South Side of the National Monument (Monas), Central Jakarta, on Saturday night (May 25, 2024). The event was also attended by KPU RI Commissioner Betty Epsilon Idroos, August Mellaz, Head of the Jakarta National Unity and Political Agency (Kesbangpol) Taufan Bakri, and members of the Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda). “The DKI Jakarta KPU has also planned the second stage, which is only implemented in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta as mandated by Law Number 2 of 2024 concerning the Special Region of Jakarta,” stated Wahyu.

According to Fahmi, there has been an increase of 62,000 in the DPT for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. This increase was found by KPU Jakarta after synchronizing the List of Potential Voters (DP4) from the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) with the DPT from the 2024 General Election. “In the upcoming Pilkada, the number of DPT after synchronization is 8,315,669, so there has been an increase of 62,000 voters,” he stated. Fahmi clarified that the increase in the DPT for In case you have almost any issues concerning where and also how you can work with poverty and nutrition, you’ll be able to e-mail us on our own page. the Pilkada occurred due to the high population activity in Jakarta. Therefore, the DPT for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada can still change. “Population activity in Jakarta is very dynamic. Today there may be 8,315,669 voters in the list, but in a week or a month, there could be changes due to people moving in or out, or deaths,” he explained.

“The proposal from Eriko is interesting,” stated Huda at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday. According to Huda, the possibility of PKB forming a coalition with PDIP in Jakarta is open if PDIP is willing to take the deputy governor for Anies and if PKS fails to find a coalition partner in the Jakarta Pilkada. “It’s possible that PKB, with PDIP as the deputy, could happen if PKS does not get to form a coalition,” clarified Huda.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Mr. Sotarduga suggested that if their party collaborates with PKB to nominate Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, they propose the gubernatorial seat in East Java to PDIP. “For example, in Jakarta, if PKB is the gubernatorial candidate, may PDIP become the gubernatorial candidate in East Java? Of course, it’s not a barter, but that’s what cooperation means, we can’t win everything on our own, we must collaborate,” said Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

Recount in Surabaya “We have readied a storage area and deployed security personnel. From our arrangement with the KPUD as well as Bawaslu, we have arranged for three locks, each held by Bawaslu, KPUD, and the police force,” he said. “Thus, we guarantee that the election boxes are safe and that the recount process will run smoothly,” he concluded. Meanwhile, East Java KPU Chairman Kunaifi Aang highlighted that Surabaya was picked for the recount process, considering several factors. “Namely, considering security aspects and other elements such as the process of changing the KPU leadership,” said Aang.

“Lumajang is added to this Pilkada because of a significant event in the past,” said Irjen Imam at the Mapolda Jatim on Friday (21/6/2024). Therefore, according to Sugianto, there will be variations in the security patterns between the Pilkada and the last election. This will be adapted to the characteristics of each region. “The security patterns will certainly differ; we are currently mapping the potential vulnerability index (IPKP) of each region,” said Irjen Imam. “God willing, in August or September, after the candidate determination, we will be able to map the security patterns in each region,” added Inspector General Imam.

Intelligence and Security Director for East Java Police, Kombespol D. E. Puwono, revealed that his party received a request from the East Java KPUD based on the outcome of the plenary according to the MK ruling to place the ballot papers from both Jember and Pamekasan at the East Java Police HQ.

One possibility is to endorse A. Baswedan in the upcoming election in November 2024. “Regarding our friends at PDIP, we are very receptive to working with PDIP and all parties, not just in DKI, but in various regions as well,” said Johan Daniel in Jakarta on Saturday. On this occasion, PKB, along with the former Jakarta governor, already shares the same vision and goals for the Jakarta Pilkada. Therefore, it’s just a matter of time before the party led by Cak Imin, publicly backs Baswedan. “Anies Baswedan has already mentioned that with PKB, there’s no need for words; we’ve already collaborated. So, the formal declaration is just a trivial technicality. The main point is we are sharing the same vision. Now, we just expect the official announcement,” said Johan. “As for the running mate, that’s up to the Pilkada committee to decide, developing everything to a pair, including the deputy. We await the Pilkada desk’s decision,” he finished.
