Jakarta Governor Candidates: Fauzi Bowo (2)
Deputy governor of Jakarta Fauzi Bowo is considered the strongest candidate for 2007 governor election with support from Partai Golkar, military, PPP (Islamic party), and Partai Demokrat.
As the deputy to governor Sutiyoso, he has the luxury to indirectly campaign earlier than his opponents. He controls Jakarta bureaucracy down to village head levels, important vote getter machinery. His running mate might be a military figure as compensation for the military's support. For decades, military figures hold the Jakarta governorship with minimum rank of lieut general.
Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) which won 2004 parliament election in Jakarta initially endorsed Fauzi, but dropped the support last week for undisclosed reason. It is interesting to watch who will be the candidate from PKS. Even Singapore's senior minister Lee Kuan Yew raised the question in his meeting with senior PKS leaders (Wahid Nur Hidayat and Zulkieflimansyah) early this year in Jakarta.
Anyway, who is Fauzi Bowo?
Born in Jakarta, April 10, 1948, Fauzi earned the PhD in architecture from Fachbereich Architektur/Raum Und Umweltplanung-Baungenieurwesen Universitat Kaiserlautern, Germany.
Married to Sri Hartati, Fauzi has three children. Born from a strong Nahdatul Ulama (the largest Moslem organization) family, Fauzi was tipped by some political parties to challenge Sutiyoso for the governorship in 2002. But he chose to be Sutiyoso's running mate (endorsed by Golkar and PDI-P) instead.
Major business groups, especially those who controls most properties in the city, are reportedly underwriting Fauzi's candidacy. The same question with Faisal Basri, do you think Fauzi will be the best choice and has the capability to lead Jakarta into a more comfortable and safe city?

It would be dangerous for a man who does not respect the law to become governor of Jakarta. Fauzi Bowo supported the crimes of his cousin Sherisada Manaf in acquiring the Jakarta International Montessori School and Balikpapan Independent Personal School. They jailed the founder on false charges supported by a forensic report from a corrupt doctor. This case is before Commission VI of the DPR. See inter-didactic.com
