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.
