As not a single candidate, husband versus wife is allowed on the Pilkades page all

KOMPAS.com – Husband and wife couple Haerudin (50) and Yuliani (41) are running for the head elections of Padamulya (Pilkades) village, Cihaurbeuti district, Ciamis Regency, West Java.

The reason the husband and wife ran for office was because, according to regional regulations, not a single candidate was allowed.

Haerudin said the level of community involvement in running for Pilkades was known to be very low.

Even before the close of the candidate register, no one had registered.

“H-5 closure no one logged,” he said, on Saturday (12/19/2020).

In response to this, he, who had lost the previous Pilkades fight, had encouraged the titular village chief and other residents to register. However, it is also known that nobody cares.

“I have no ambition to be the head of the village. I even offered and encouraged other residents to move on, but no one was on the list. Instead they turned around, residents encouraged me to move on,” he said.

Due to this condition, finally at the closing of registration D-2 decided to apply and complete the required documents of the candidate.

But at that point another problem arose. According to him, the regional regulations do not allow a single candidate.

To avoid this, finally, in the last minute of the candidate’s closure, his wife Yuliani was included to register as a candidate for village head.

This was done so that the citizen democratic process could continue and the Pilkades could take place.

“To save the Citizens’ Democratic Party, my wife registered. Only five minutes before closing,” Haerudin said.

Wife’s confession

Yuliani said that her husband had prepared the vision and mission to meet the nomination requirements.

“You did more visions and missions. The rest they gave to me,” he said.

Not only that, when they campaign for residents, they often do so together.

“But I campaigned too, not with you,” Yuliani said.

As is known, the Pilkades simultaneously in Ciamis Regency, West Java, took place on Saturday (12/19/2020).

In the implementation of Pilkades the health protocol was implemented.

In addition to having a place to wash their hands, plastic gloves and masks, each voter has also determined a time to visit the TPS.

“So there is no crowd,” explained Padamulya Kades Temporary Office, Haris.
