Ahok, Still Independent
Tuesday, June 28, 2016
WITH the collection of 1 million voters' ID cards, Basuki Tjahaja (Ahok) Purnama will be able to enter the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial race as an independent. Friends of Ahok, a volunteer organization that gathered the support, have collected copies of 1,024,632 ID cards from voters and counting.
If one parliament seat is equal to 41,000 votes, then the support for Ahok is equivalent to 25 seats. This is just three seats fewer than the number of seats held by the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P)-the winning party at the Jakarta legislature. With such popularity, political parties are beginning to look to Ahok.
