2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election

A gubernatorial election will be held in Jakarta in 2024 alongside other local elections nationwide to elect the Governor of Jakarta to a five-year term.

Electoral system
In prior elections, the gubernatorial election for Jakarta, uniquely for Indonesia's local elections, required a runoff should no candidates achieve a simple majority, but this runoff requirement has been removed for the 2024 election. Instead, the election will be run on a first-past-the-post system, where a candidate with the most votes wins the election even if they fail to obtain a majority. It is possible for a candidate to run uncontested, in which case the candidate is still required to win a majority of votes "against" an "empty box" option. Should the candidate fail to do so, the election will be repeated on a later date.

Candidates
Under regulations, only political parties having 22 seats or more in the Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) can put forward a candidate. Following the 2024 general election, no parties won 22 or more seats in the DPRD, and so coalitions will be required to nominate a candidate. Candidates may alternatively run if they have gathered at least 618,968 copies of identity cards from local residents, which will be verified by the General Elections Commission (KPU).

Five independent candidates expressed interest in registering. Only one of the five, former police general Dharma Pongrekun, submitted the required documents. According to KPU, Pongrekun submitted over 840 thousand proofs of support by the provided deadline. Pongrekun is running with Kun Wardana Abyoto, an academic. Their candidacy is pending their submitted documents being verified until 29 May 2024. In June 2024, KPU announced the discovery of issues within Pongrekun's supporting documents, and suspended his candidacy pending fixes.

Declared
The following are individuals who have been declared by a political party as endorsed candidates:

On 25 June 2024, the Prosperous Justice Party, the largest party in the DPRD following the 2024 election, announced that the party will be endorsing Anies Baswedan (former Governor of Jakarta in 2017–2022 and 2024 presidential candidate) with PKS executive and former leader Sohibul Iman as running mate. The issue of Anies candidacy reportedly showed that PKS is open to be partnered with any political parties.
