PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - The West Java Provincial Government will prepare budget assistance for the implementation of the re-vote (PSU) for the Tasikmalaya Regency Pilkada.

West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi said, from the results of the coordination meeting on the follow-up to the Constitutional Court's decision regarding the Tasikmalaya Regency Pilkada dispute, the PSU will be implemented with a financing scheme originating from the West Java Provincial Government and the Tasikmalaya Regency Government.

"The PSU will be implemented, the costs will be divided between the province and the district," said Dedi Mulyadi after an online coordination meeting, Tuesday (25/2/2025).

According to him, from temporary calculations, the need for PSU implementation in Tasikmalaya Regency reaches IDR 60 billion.

He ensured that the West Java Provincial Government would assist with the PSU with a proportion that is currently still being calculated.

"Rp 60 billion is the total requirement, the possible value is still being calculated," he said.

Dedi also ensured that the funds for the PSU would not disrupt his party's plans to implement budget efficiency.

From the results of the meeting, the funds will be taken from the remaining funds for the 2024 Pilkada implementation at the West Java KPU and West Java Bawaslu.

"The remaining funds from yesterday at Bawaslu Jabar and KPU Jabar are still there, safe, so it does not disrupt efficiency," he said.

West Java Regional Secretary Herman Suryatman confirmed that Governor Dedi Mulyadi is paying serious attention to the implementation of the PSU in Tasikmalaya Regency following the dispute decision by the Constitutional Court.

"The Governor really cares, after all this is a common interest, especially for the people of Tasikmalaya Regency," said Herman.

According to him, in the online meeting led by the Governor, his party discussed and examined a number of technical consequences of the Constitutional Court's decision.

"What needs to be prepared, what activities need to be carried out, AZ, of course this is the KPU's domain," he said.

In the meeting attended by elements of the KPU, Bawaslu and Tasikmalaya Regional Secretary, aspects ranging from financing, implementation methods to PSU materials were discussed.

"So that the implementation runs well," said Herman.

Regarding financing, Herman ensured that the West Java Provincial Government followed the Governor's direction after seeing the existing data and facts as well as the regulations related to this matter.

"What is clear is that this is a common interest so it must be anticipated well," said Herman.

Previously, the 2024 regional elections in Tasikmalaya Regency would be repeated without including candidate for regent Ade Sugianto.

This is based on the Constitutional Court's decision on the lawsuit filed by the Cecep Nurul Yakin-Asep Sopari Al-Ayubi couple.

Ade Sugianto has served as Regent of Tasikmalaya for two terms and cannot run again.

The Constitutional Court granted the lawsuit by stating that the Tasikmalaya KPU must conduct a PSU without including Ade Sugianto.

The Constitutional Court also requested that this event be held no later than 60 days after the verdict was read.
