Option to Save People

A crowd of supporters bearing campaign flags surround the South Kalimantan governor and deputy governor candidates, Denny Indrayana and Difriadi Darjat (center, wearing garlands), as the group heads en masse for the pair to register at the South Kalimantan General Elections Commission (KPU) on Saturday (5/9/2020) in Banjarmasin. Using the moniker “H2D” for Haji Denny-Difriadi, the candidates have the backing of three political parties in the 2020 regional elections.

I would like to start this article with a fundamental question: Why do we organize regional head elections? The answer is very simple.

We want the people to elect their leader and that leader is the one who makes programs and policies so that people can live in safety, prosperity, justice can maintain their health, reduce the risk of death, get a good education and so on.
