Bandung City in Java

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.

Timeline

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]

[8] Instead, he endorsed the Yossi-Aries ticket. [9] Some independent candidates registered, but none passed the required qualifications in form of identity card copies. [10]

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. [16] PDI-P and PPP endorsed the pair in the days leading up to the registration, [17] [18] with the former attaching Aries Supriatna as the running mate. [19] Days before the election new party PSI endorse this pair.
