Support for Sutiyoso

Support for Sutiyoso

From Tempo

I'm interested in the Jakarta gubernatorial election, despite
the fact that I'm not a resident of Jakarta mainly because of the
nomination and endorsement of Sutiyoso, the incumbent governor.

Support for Sutiyoso from some big factions at the City
Council indicate that the Council has not heeded public opinion.
Most Jakarta residents now want a governor who will pay serious
attention to the people.

Support (for Sutiyoso) by indigenous Jakarta residents grouped
in the Forum Betawi Rempug is not an indication that the Betawi
people of Jakarta really support him. This move of the forum has
disappointed Jakarta residents themselves.
