He was part of the 10th commission, which covers education, sports, tourism and creative economy.

[10] Soon afterwards, the National Mandate Party endorsed him as well. Other parties supporting him are the National Mandate Party, Hanura, and the Indonesian Justice and Unity Party. [8]

Ida Bagus Rai Dharmawijaya Mantra (Rai Mantra) initially attempted to register at PDI-P which had supported him in the 2015 Denpasar mayoral elections. [11] However, Golkar, whose cadre I Ketut Sudikerta was already the sitting vice-governor, decided to place its support behind the mayor attaching Sudikerta as his running mate after Nasdem and Gerindra endorsed Rai Mantra.

Issues
