After the polemic in the period approaching Indonesia's democracy day in 2024, especially after the upload of the 'emergency warning' which was then followed by a demonstration by a handful of people. Now we find ourselves approaching the election registration, gansist, in about a week. But approaching this registration, something quite exciting happened again, there was one of the candidates, who had actually been involved in politics for quite a long time, but finally decided to withdraw from the event.

Indonesian female artist and politician, Krisdayanti has made a surprising decision by announcing her resignation as a candidate for Mayor of Batu, Malang, East Java in the 2024 Pilkada. Previously, Krisdayanti had registered herself through the PDIP Party and had even received a recommendation to advance in the contest.


Quote:

Although she was once a strong candidate competing with other names such as Malang Deputy Regent Didik Gatot Subroto and Malang City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Deputy Chairman Dicky Sulaiman, Krisdayanti decided to withdraw from the candidacy. This decision created a new dynamic in the coalition of political parties that supported her, namely PDIP, Nasdem, and PKS, which are now threatened with disbandment.

Although Krisdayanti announced her withdrawal via an Instagram social media post on (23/8), the Batu City Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) DPC stated that Krisdayanti would still run in the Pilkada. Punjul Santoso, Head of the Batu City PDIP DPC, explained that Krisdayanti was still communicating with the party and there had been no final decision regarding her withdrawal.


tatement, it was revealed that the beautiful singer also apologized to the PDIP party, especially Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri. This moment also went viral on social media, considering that some time ago, Krisdayanti herself stated that the regional elections were a momentum where a joint people's movement occurred. And Krisdayanti also hopes that this regional election can produce a leader who is truly rooted in the strength of the grassroots (society).

Although the reason for Krisdayanti's withdrawal has not been clearly revealed in the social media upload, this has caught the public's attention and made many people wonder. Whatever the reason behind her decision, Krisdayanti's withdrawal from the Batu City Pilkada has changed the direction of political dynamics in the region and has become the main focus in the political contestation in 2024.
