TheIndonesia.co - Governor of Jakarta Anies Baswedan said he had high respect for the Jakarta Regional People's Representative Council's (DPRD's) sessions held to deliberate the process to discharge him and deputy governor Ahmad Riza Patria. The terms of office of Baswedan and Patria will expire next October, and those to fill in the replacements will take office on an acting basis, pending the 2024 Regional Elections.
"We respect all processes as we respect other (legislative) processes," Baswedan stated at the Jakarta City Hall here on Monday, August 29, 2022.
The governor emphasized that the ongoing process should be respected, as the sessions are part of the duties of regional legislators. "Hence, this is part of DPRD's activities. We respect (the process), and we await the final decision," he affirmed.

The consultative body will convene on Tuesday (August 30) in Bogor, West Java, he remarked while adding that invitations for the assembly had been distributed to consultative body members and the governor on Monday (August 22).
