The 2024 Pati regency election was held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the regent of Pati Regency, Central Java for a five-year term. Gerindra's candidate and House of Representatives member Sudewo defeated PDI-P candidate Wahyu Indriyanto in the election, along with PAN candidate former vice regent Budiyono.
Electoral system
The election, like other local elections in 2024, follow the first-past-the-post system where the candidate with the most votes wins the election, even if they do not win a majority.[1] 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.[2]
Candidates
According to electoral regulations, candidates were required to secure the support of a political party or a coalition of parties which collectively won at least 6.5 percent of votes in the 2024 legislative election.[3] Candidates may alternatively register without party endorsement by submitting photocopies of identity cards. In the case of Pati, no independent candidates registered to run.[4] The previously elected regent, Haryanto, had served two full terms and was ineligible to run in the election.[5]
Sudewo, a member of the House of Representatives (DPR) from the Gerindra Party who has served since 2009, contested the election. He ran with Risma Ardhi Chandra, a National Awakening Party (PKB) member and IT entrepreneur. The candidates were endorsed by a coalition of eight parties, including Gerindra, PKB, Golkar, Nasdem, and four other parties with no seats in Pati's Regional House of Representatives (DPRD).[6]
The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) put forward Wahyu Indriyanto, a local construction businessman and party member, as their candidate in the election. His running mate Suharyono is a retired civil servant who had served as regional secretary under former regent Haryanto. The Indriyanto–Suharyono ticket was endorsed by PDI-P, Demokrat, and PKS.[6] also received the public endorsement of Haryanto.[5]
The third candidate, Budiyono, was Haryanto's vice-regent from 2012 to 2017, and the chairman of the local branch of the National Mandate Party (PAN). He had previously failed to win a DPR seat in the 2024 election. His running mate, Novi Eko Yulianto, is a village head at Jakenan in Pati. The pair was endorsed by PAN and the United Development Party.[6]
Campaign
PDI-P has historically been the largest party in Pati's DPRD and dominated the local legislative elections, but had last placed a member as Pati's regent in the 2006–2011 term before Haryanto became regent and was elected twice. A major issue in the campaign was spreading out industrial development within Pati – the regency has seen manufacturing increase from 12 percent to 28 percent of GRDP between 2003 and 2023, but only in some districts.[7]
Two rounds of public debates between the candidates were organized by the General Elections Commission (KPU), held on 30 October and 13 November 2024.[8]
