Arief R. Wismansyah, who has served as the Tangerang Mayor for two terms, after five years as the Deputy Mayor, is now redirecting his efforts to a greater challenge, namely the election in Banten, by running for Governor.

“Mr. Ahok and Mr. Djarot are being urged to run in North Sumatra. This is interesting because North Sumatra needs significant changes,” said Eriko at the PDIP DPP Office, Central Jakarta, as quoted on Friday (17/5/2024).

This decision is inspired by his commitment to present a different choice, presenting a different vision and experience to the citizens of Banten, outside the long-standing political family in the region. Arief Wismansyah’s leadership in Tangerang has been recognized for creativity in city management and inclusive infrastructure development, creating a strong foundation to advance Banten Province. In this context, he is dedicated to promoting social equity, long-term development, and fair development throughout Banten. Arief expressed his readiness to face the challenges of the Banten Pilkada with a vision focused on positive change and improvements for all societal layers. He revealed that his decision to run was initially not planned, but the motivation from the community and his family made him reconsider. He noted that a meeting with Ma’ruf Amin, the Vice President significantly influenced his decision to run. “I was called by Ma’ruf Amin, and we had a meeting. He questioned, are you really running, Mr. Arief? If you want to run, you have to win; if you’re not sure you can win, don’t run, he said. I agreed with him. Finally, on Monday afternoon, I decided to run,” Arief said when interviewed in the Karawaci region of Tangerang City, Sunday (23/06/2024).

Arief also shared his views on the ruling political family in Banten, noting the split in the community related to this dominance. Nevertheless, he is optimistic about contending with famous candidates in the region. “I hope to collaborate with the Banten community to progress together, including with the existing dynasties,” he added. Arief highlighted his preparedness to cooperate with various parties for the progress of Banten, without neglecting the interests of the people. “Whatever the outcome, I hope the next leadership can offer the best for Banten,” he concluded. With this step, Arief Rachadiono Wismansyah calls upon the people of Banten to endorse a shared vision in developing the region through the upcoming election.

“One thing to watch out for in every democratic event amid the rapid digitalization and social media is the susceptibility to the spread of hoaxes and hate speech with ethnic, religious, racial, and inter-group (SARA) nuances, which have the potential to create polarization that can divide the unity of society,” said Edy in Palangka Raya, quoted from Antara, Friday (June 21, 2024).

Even so, Doli still allowed the KPU to design Sirekap for the 2024 Regional Elections. However, whether it will be used or not, Commission II will give its view. This is in consideration of the commotion caused by Sirekap during the 2024 Election. “Go ahead and prepare it, we will see. Don’t let it cause confusion and commotion like last time. Due to it, there were celebrations that didn’t happen. So, whether it will be used or not, it must be evaluated,” Doli said.

One option is to endorse Anies Baswedan in the forthcoming election in November 2024. “Regarding our friends at PDIP, we are very open to working with PDIP and all parties, not just in DKI, but in other regions as well,” said Daniel Johan in Jakarta on Saturday. On this occasion, PKB, along with the former governor of DKI Jakarta, already shares the same goals and objectives for the Jakarta Pilkada. Therefore, it’s just a matter of time before the party led by Cak Imin, publicly backs Anies. “Pak Anies has already mentioned that with PKB, there’s no need for words; we’ve already worked together. So, the announcement is just a small technicality. The important thing is we are sharing the same vision. Now, we just wait for the official announcement,” said Johan. “As for the deputy, that’s up to the Pilkada team to finalize, working on everything to a team, including the deputy. We anticipate the Pilkada desk’s statement,” he ended.

According to Doli, from the start, Sirekap has been a concern for Commission II DPR RI. It was even initially not recommended for use in the 2024 Election. “In the early stages of discussing the Election, friends recommended not using Sirekap, but suddenly Sirekap appeared from the KPU. So let’s discuss it later and not say it will be used now,” Doli explained.

Responding to this, Commission II DPR RI Chairman Ahmad Doli Kurnia said that a special session on Sirekap would be scheduled when discussing KPU regulations (PKPU) for the 2024 Regional Elections. He asked the KPU not to rush in stating that Sirekap would be used again for the 2024 Regional Elections. “Regarding Sirekap, let’s discuss it later. That’s another PKPU. I’m not clear on Sirekap, so don’t say it will be used now,” Doli responded.

Previously, KPU RI member Idham Holik mentioned that using Sirekap in the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections aims for public transparency. “We will use Sirekap, and we will refer to the legal considerations from the Constitutional Court’s recent ruling in our evaluation and improvement of Sirekap for the regional elections on November 27, 2024,” said Idham when met by the media at the KPU RI Office, Jakarta, on Tuesday, April 23, 2024.
