Nusa Penida (Antara Bali) - The pair of presidential candidates, Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla (Jokowi-JK), emerged victorious in Nusa Penida, the only Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra) stronghold in Klungkung district, Bali province.
Data received from the local electoral committee indicated that the Jokowi-JK pair, supported by the PDIP, Nasdem, PKB, Hanura, and PKPI parties, won 15,579 votes, but the Prabowo-Hatta duo who are supported by Gerindra, PAN, Golkar, PKS, PPP, PBB, and the Demokrat parties only gained 12,085 votes.
Nusa Penida is the stronghold of Gerindra, which was established by Prabowo Subianto.
During the legislative election in April 2014, Gerindra had secured a landslide victory in Nusa Penida and contributed the highest number of seats in the Klungkung district legislative assembly (DPRD) for the 2014-2019 period.
But ironically, the Jokowi-JK pair won the presidential election in ten of the 16 villages in the district, while the Prabowo-Hatta duo only managed to win in six villages.
In the West Papua province, the Jokowi-JK pair also gained a landslide victory over the Prabowo-Hatta duo in the presidential election on Wednesday.
Spokesman of the Optimistic Papua Movement`s team of volunteers Jimmy Demianus Ijie stated in Sorong on Thursday that a total of 713,902 voters cast their ballots at 2,616 polling stations in 11 districts across the province on Wednesday.
According to Ijie, the Jokowi-JK pair garnered 72 percent of the total votes and the Prabowo-Hatta duo only got 28 percent votes.
Ijie noted that Jokowi and Kalla were nominated as the presidential and vice presidential candidates by the Indonesian Democratic Party Struggle (PDIP), but their landslide victory came as a surprise as it happened in those districts, which were known to be the stronghold of the Golkar Party.
By and large, the 2014 presidential election in West Papua went smoothly, orderly, and peacefully, although there are several irregularities, he remarked.
Ijie reported that before the election, some security personnel had tried to persuade the people in Sorong district to vote in favor of a certain pair of presidential and vice presidential candidates, but the Jokowi-JK pair emerged as the winner. (*/M038)
