Politics
In 2013,Sachrudin became the running mate of Arief Rachadiono Wismansyah in Tangerang's 2013 mayoral election. Their candidacy was initially disqualified by the city's General Elections Commission citing an administrative issue –civil servants were required to obtain written permission to run in the election and Sachrudin failed to provide one. This disqualification resulted in protests by Arief and Sachrudin's supporters. [4] The incumbent mayor Wahidin Halim,who had refused Sachrudin's resignation,cited procedural issues in that Sachrudin had resigned after registering for the election instead of the other way around. [5] Following an Election Organization Ethics Council [ id ] decision which removed the city's election commissioners,their candidacy was restored.
