Bawaslu Kota Malang conducted the first hearing for the dispute resolution application of the Pilkada Kota Malang 2024 filed by independent candidate pair Heri Cahyono – Muhammad Rizky Wahyu Utomo (Sam HC-Rizky).

Syaikhu explained that the decision of the PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) to nominate Anies and Sohibul Iman for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election was based on suggestions from the PKS Jakarta Regional Leadership Council (DPW).

He disclosed that his decision to run was initially unintended, but the motivation from the community and his family made him reconsider. He mentioned that a meeting with Vice President Ma’ruf Amin significantly affected his decision to run. “I was asked 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 believed he was correct. Finally, on Monday afternoon, I decided to run,” Arief said when spoken to in the Karawaci region of Tangerang City, Sunday. Arief also conveyed his views on the prevailing political dynasty in Banten, noting the division in the community related to this dominance. Nevertheless, he is hopeful about contending with well-known candidates in the region. “I hope to collaborate with the Banten citizens to develop jointly, including with the existing dynasties,” he added. Arief stressed his readiness to work with various parties for the advancement of Banten, without neglecting the interests of the people. “Whatever the outcome, I hope the next leadership can provide the best for Banten,” he concluded. With this step, Arief Rachadiono Wismansyah asks the people of Banten to back a shared vision in developing the region through the upcoming election.

**Ma’ruf Amin Asks KPI to Reduce Hoax Spread Ahead of 2024 Pilkada** “KPI and KPID can provide education on the implementation and progress of the Pilkada through good, positive, and neutral broadcasts. This is important so that the public is protected from fake news (hoaxes),” stated Ma’ruf, as reported by Antara, on June 25, 2024. Ma’ruf also conveyed several points that need attention and follow-up from KPI and all broadcasting elements present at the event. He asked KPI to continue monitoring and supervising broadcasts by referring to the Broadcasting Code of Conduct (P3) and Broadcasting Program Standards (SPS).

The independent candidate pair was declared ineligible (TMS) in the 2024 Malang City Pilkada by the General Election Commission (Komisi Pemilihan Umum) based on the results of administrative verification. Bawaslu had mediated both parties, but no agreement was reached. Thus, an adjudication hearing was held, using a third party, in this case, Bawaslu Malang City, as the adjudicator. The first hearing was held on June 25, 2024, with the agenda being the reading of the petitioner’s request and the response from KPU as the respondent.

Chairman of KPU Malang City, Muhammad Toyib, stated that the election organizers respect the dispute filed by the petitioner and will follow all ongoing legal processes. “If in this hearing we are declared unprepared to provide a response, we will follow and prepare more thoroughly,” he stated. Toyib mentioned that the administrative verification process conducted by KPU was according to procedure. KPU believes that Silon is a precise application in terms of administrative results and an essential tool for the administrative verification process as it is connected to the Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Office (Dispendukcapil). “So when there are discrepancies in the support data, we can identify them through Silon,” stated Toyib. Regarding the assessment that Silon is problematic, Toyib mentioned that it is a system issue beyond the control of KPU Malang City. He added that KPU is awaiting the trial process and will comply with whatever the outcome and decision of the trial may be.
