Flash Notes Upcoming Jakarta Governor Election Ho Woei Chen [email protected] Global Economics & Markets Research Email: [email protected] URL: www.uob.com.sg/research Monday, 13 February 2017 Flash Notes Upcoming Jakarta Governor Election Local elections will be held next Wed (Feb 15) in 101 regions across Indonesia. The most closely-watched is clearly the Jakarta election where 7.2 million registered voters will elect their governor to a five-year term in a three-corner fight. The Jakarta governor job is seen as a stepping stone to higher office since Jokowi was Jakarta governor prior to becoming the president in Nov 2014. Incumbent Jakarta governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) along with his deputy Djarot Saiful Hidayat will be running for a second term, against Agus Harimurtri Yudhoyono, the son of former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and Anies Baswedan, former Minister of Education and Culture (2014-2016). Basuki who is under trial for blasphemy has seen his popularity rating bouncing back after the first official gubernatorial debate on Jan 13. The second debate was held on Jan 27 and the final one will be held today (Feb 10). Indonesia enters into the official cooling-off period on Feb 12-14. The verdict on Basuki’s blasphemy trial is expected to be out only after the Jakarta election, probably in March. Various media reports suggest that conviction for blasphemy is highly likely. Conviction comes with jail term of up to five years. In the event of a conviction, his hold to the office will be precarious even if he wins the election on Feb 15. The outcome depends on the sentencing recommendation as office-holders in Indonesia will be suspended if they face charges with a jail sentence of five years or more. In such an event, Mr Djarot Saiful Hidayat, his deputy and running mate will take over. Basuki Tjahaja Purnama Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono Anies Baswedan Candidate Nominee 50 years old 38 years old 47 years old As the deputy governor, Son of former President he succeeded Jokowi as Former Minister of Susilo Bambang Background governor of Jakarta in Nov Education and Culture Yudhoyono, spent 16 years 2014 when Jokowi was (2014-2016) in the military elected president Running Mate Djarot Saiful Hidayat Sylviana Murni Sandiaga Uno Political Party PDI–P Demokrat Gerindra Source: Various newswires Recent Polls Results Survey Date Ahok-Djarot Anies-Sandi Agus-Sylvi Undecided Indikator Politik Indonesia Jan 12-20 38.2% 23.8% 23.6% 14.4% Saiful Mujani Research and Jan 14-22 34.8% 26.4% 22.5% 16.3% Consulting (SMRC) Populi Center survey Jan 14-19 36.7% 28.5% 25.0% 9.8% Source: Various newswires Election Process The Jakarta Gubernatorial Election 2017 is expected to take two rounds which is if none of the candidates secures an absolute majority (>50%). This will see a runoff election between the top two candidates in April. This was also the case in 2012 when Jokowi won the runoff election with 53.82% of votes against Bowo’s 46.18%. Official results are expected to be announced a week after the election but unofficial quick count results which have been proven to be accurate will be out shortly after the poll closes at 2pm SG time on Feb 15. Inauguration will be in Oct 2017. The government has announced 15 Feb as a public holiday in Indonesia and markets will be closed.

  • Beberapa Tahun Belakangan, Konstelasi Politik DKI Jakarta Memanas. Tahun 2007 Merupakan Tahun Dimulainya Pemilihan Gubernur
    Jurnal PolGov Vol. I No. 1, 2019 35 Gubernur DKI Jakarta Dipilih Presiden: Sebuah Wacana yang Patut Dipertimbangkan Agung Wicaksono1 Abstrak Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mempertimbangkan wacana pemilihan gubernur DKI Jakarta oleh presiden. Wacana ini bisa dianggap sebagai jalan keluar dari kegaduhan politik yang ditimbulkan akibat pemilihan gubernur (pilgub) DKI Jakarta. Pilgub DKI Jakarta bermuara pada iklim politik yang tidak sehat. Polarisasi masyarakat semakin menguat dan itu tidak hanya terjadi di DKI Jakarta tetapi seluruh pelosok negeri. Masyarakat yang secara politik tidak terkait dengan DKI Jakarta pun turut ambil bagian dalam memanaskan situasi politik. Instabilitas politik di DKI Jakarta bisa berdampak pada instabilitas ekonomi. Tulisan ini berusaha menelaah wacana pemilihan gubernur DKI Jakarta oleh presiden dengan menggunakan konsep desentralisasi asimetris. Ada dua mekanisme yang bisa digunakan, yakni mekanisme “minimum demokrasi prosedural” dan “zero demokrasi prosedural”. Studi literatur digunakan untuk menyintesiskan data-data dan argumentasi yang dibangun oleh penulis. Harapannya, tulisan ini bisa memberikan pemikiran dan alternatif baru dalam khazanah ilmu politik, khususnya dalam kajian mengenai pemilihan kepala daerah. Kata Kunci: DKI Jakarta; Pilkada; Desentralisasi Asimetris Pendahuluan Beberapa tahun belakangan, konstelasi politik DKI Jakarta memanas. Tahun 2007 merupakan tahun dimulainya pemilihan gubernur (pilgub) DKI Jakarta secara langsung oleh rakyat.2 Kemudian, 1 Penulis adalah dosen pada Program Studi Ilmu Pemerintahan, Universitas Islam Riau 2 Pemilihan Gubernur DKI Jakarta tahun 2007 Jakarta hanya diikuti oleh dua pasangan, yakni Fauzi Bowo-Prijanto dan Adang Daradjatun-Dani Anwar. Dari tiga pilgub yang telah terjadi di Jakarta pasca dipilih langsung oleh rakyat (2007, 2012, dan 2016), pilgub ini tergolong lebih minim gejolak. Pilgub ini dimenangkan oleh Fauzi Bowo-Prijanto dengan mendapat suara sebesar 57,87%.

  • 23 Populasi MIGRATION, ETHNICITY and LOCAL
    Populasi Volume 24 Nomor 2 2016 Halaman 23-36 MIGRATION, ETHNICITY AND LOCAL POLITICS: THE CASE OF JAKARTA, INDONESIA Aulia Hadi and Riwanto Tirtosudarmo Research Center for Society and Culture, Indonesian Institute of Sciences Correspondence: Aulia Hadi (email: [email protected]) Abstract As the capital city of a country with the world’s fourth largest population, Jakarta, like many other big cities in the developing economies, for example, Mexico City or New Delhi, hosts migrants from all regions of the country. Without a doubt, Jakarta has increasingly become the major core of the agglomeration processes transforming it and its satellite cities into a Mega Urban Region (MUR). This paper traces historically the interactions between migration, ethnicities and local politics in Jakarta from the 1960s to the 2000s focusing on the latest development, in which the phenomenon ‘Ahok’, the nickname of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, a Chinese-Christian from the small district of Belitung, has become an increasingly popular Governor of Jakarta. The paper argues that through the recent developments in Jakarta the politics have apparently been transformed into more civic, rather than ethnic politics. The nature of Jakarta as a proliferating migrant city transcends narrow cultural identities as well as conventional party politics into a more active citizenry through the widespread use of social media. Keywords: migration, ethnicity, local politics, new media Introduction had already started in the 17th century. Because of the low number of inhabitants, the Government of the Dutch East Indies The interconnection between migration, encouraged people to move to Batavia1 to ethnicity and politics has been thoroughly meet its labour needs.

Therefore this study aims to analyze with a systematic and empirical approach of the social media usage (Including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) by DKI Jakarta governor candidates for the 2017-2022 period. Based on the observations, we found that each DKI Jakarta governor candidate has had a popular social media account in Indonesia, namely Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Such media were used to in conducting political campaigns and interacting with their constituents. Based on in-depth analysis of the empirical data showed that the presence of social media in the political campaigns in Indonesia had a strong relationship with the final results of DKI Jakarta governor election.

  • The Two-Face of Anies Baswedan: the Inconsistency with Regards to Jakarta Reclamation
    Journal of Language and Literature ISSN: 1410-5691 (print); 2580-5878 (online) Jean Antunes Rudolf Zico Ma’u The Two-Face of Anies Baswedan: The Inconsistency with Regards to Jakarta Reclamation Jean Antunes Rudolf Zico Ma’u [email protected] Graduate Program in English Language Studies, Universitas Sanata Dharma, INDONESIA Abstract Homo homini lupus and the end justifies the means are two general adagios that have been applied in the political contestation. The main idea behind the two adagios is that one should benefit any means necessary at all cost in order to execute the vested political agenda. Such practice is almost found in any domain of political practice, especially in the general election for governor. One of the good examples that describes the case best is the governor election of DKI-1. During this election, one of the candidates, namely Anies Baswedan, has successfully manipulated the environmental issues, namely Jakarta Reclamation, into one of his political weapons by promising that he shall cease Jakarta Reclamation if he has been officially elected as the Governor of Jakarta Special Capitol. Indeed, he has won the election and thus he has kept his commitment by sealing the 932 buildings from Island D. However, several moments later he issued the building permit for a number of buildings in one of the reclamation islands and ever since then people, especially his supporters, have started questioning his commitment toward the cessation of Jakarta Reclamation. Departing from the case, the researcher is encouraged to conduct a study that might disclose the true characteristics of a political figure.

Based on ethnographic research on Islamist buzzers – social media political operators tasked with making particular online conversation subjects trend – in Indonesia, this article details the process of how the proliferation of insensitive message in both the online and offline realms plays a role in mobilizing those sympathetic to religious fundamental- ism. As this research shows, the interviewed buzzers were one of the driving forces behind the massive success of the fundamentalist Islamic Defenders Front (Front Pembela Islam, FPI) as they mobilized people to participate in the organization’s political rallies between 2016 and 2017. Driven by altruistic volunteerism and sense of community, these actors go beyond their duty as click-farmers.
