PDIP’s opportunity to nominate a governor and deputy governor in DKI Jakarta is open thanks to the Constitutional Court’s decision number 60/PUU-XXII/2024. Before the decision, PDIP could not nominate anyone because they were unable to form a coalition that had at least 20 percent of the DPRD seats or the equivalent of 22 seats.

This decision changes the nomination thresholds for regional heads. In DKI Jakarta, the threshold is only 7.5 percent of the total vote share in the previous election. Picking up the PDIP vote exceeded these requirements.

In addition, the decision of the Constitutional Court also allows former governors to become deputy governors in other departments. Rano Karno was previously the Governor of Banten in 2015-2017. The actor who plays ‘Si Doel’ in the soap opera ‘Si Doel Anak Sekohalan’ was previously also the Deputy Governor of Banten, together with Ratu Atut Chosiyah.
