The 2018 Bandung mayoral election took place on 27 June 2018 as part of the simultaneous local elections. It was held to elect the mayor of Bandung alongside with their deputy.
Bandung is the capital of West Java province in Indonesia. According to the 2015 census, it is Indonesia's fourth most populous city after Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bekasi with over 2.5 million inhabitants. At the meantime, Greater Bandung is the country's third largest metropolitan area with over 8 million inhabitants. Located 768 metres above sea level, approximately 140 kilometres southeast of Jakarta, Bandung has cooler year-round temperatures than most other Indonesian cities. The city lies on a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. This topography provides a natural defense system, which was the primary reason for the Dutch East Indies government's plan to move the colony capital from Batavia to Bandung.
Sitting mayor Ridwan Kamil, while eligible for a second term, did not run due to his bid for the province's governorship. Vice mayor Oded Muhammad Danial came out on top, defeating city secretary Yossi Irianto in addition to former lawmaker and Golkar politician Nurul Arifin.
Mochamad Ridwan Kamil is an Indonesian architect and politician who is the 15th Governor of West Java, the most populous province of Indonesia. He was also the Mayor of Bandung. He was elected as mayor of Bandung on 23 June 2013. He is also an architect and lecturer in the Department of Architecture, Bandung Institute of Technology. Kamil founded architect firm Urbane Indonesia in 2004 with three partners. In 2018 he successfully ran for governor, instead of seeking a second mayoral term.
Oded Muhammad Danial is an Indonesian politician who is the mayor of Bandung. He had previously served as the deputy mayor of Ridwan Kamil, and a city councilor before that.
The KPU has stated that there will be approximately 1.7 million voters in the city. [2] Registration for party-backed candidates were opened between 8 and 10 January 2018, while independent candidates were required to register between 22 and 26 November 2017. [3] The campaigning period would commence between 15 February and 24 June, with a three-day election silence before voting on 27 June. [4] The vote itself follows a first past the post system. [5]
Election silence, pre-election silence, electoral silence, or campaign silence is a ban on political campaigning prior to a presidential or general election. Under this rule, in some jurisdictions, such as Slovenia, it is forbidden to try to convince people to vote for a specific candidate or political party on the day of election. Some jurisdictions have declared that, legally, election silence is in violation of law regarding freedom of speech. It is however used in some of the world's democracies "in order to balance out the campaigning and maintain a free voting environment".
The candidates were assigned their order number on 13 February 2018. [6] A public debate covered by media outlets was held on 15 April 2018. [7]

Nurul Arifin's candidacy was backed by her party since mid-2017. [11] Her running mate is Chairul Yaqin Hidayat, who is the vice-treasurer in Demokrat. [12] She became eligible to run once the pair secured the support of PKB and hence controlling sufficient seats in the parliament. [13] Newly registered political party Perindo also endorsed the pair. [14]
The National Awakening Party, frequently abbreviated to PKB, is an Islam-based political party in Indonesia.
City secretary Yossi Irianto first received the endorsement of Hanura in November 2017, [15] followed by Nasdem.
