PKS to Propose Sandiaga's Replacement

Jakarta: Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has claimed PKS will propose a candidate to replace his deputy Sandiaga Uno.

"We are in no hurry. The process is handled properly," said the former education minister at the Jakarta City Hall, Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan, Central Jakarta on Thursday, August 16, 2018.

Sandiaga stepped down from his position after he was announced as Gerindra Party Chairman Prabowo Subianto's running mate pick for the 2019 presidential election. He submitted his resignation letter before filing his candidacy for vice president.

According to the law, Sandiaga actually is not obligated to leave his position in the Jakarta administration. However, he wants to focus on his campaign ahead of the upcoming presidential election.

Indonesia will hold the first ever simultaneous general and presidential elections in April 2019. Voters will elect the president and lawmakers on the same day.
