Bali Governor and Vice Governor Elect
Bali Election Outcome 2013
Tight security will be in place for the Bali governor’s inauguration, with thousands of police personnel to be deployed on Aug. 29, the Bali Police chief said.
“We are ready to secure the inauguration. We will deploy the maximum forces we have to ensure that the inauguration runs smoothly,” Bali Police chief Insp. Gen. Arif Wachyunadi said at a meeting with the Bali Legislative Council in Denpasar on Tuesday.
The inauguration of the reelected governor, Made Mangku Pastika, and his running mate I Ketut Sudikerta is scheduled to take place at the Bali Legislative Council office in Renon, Denpasar, at 9 a.m. on Aug. 29. As many as 600 invitees and 100 reporters will attend the inauguration.
A rehearsal for the security forces will be conducted on Aug. 28 to ensure complete readiness. The military will back up the police security team.
“We are hoping all Bali’s residents will play an active role in securing their areas,” Wachyunadi said.
Head of the Bali Police’s operational department, Sr. Comr. I Gede Alit Widana, stressed that many training sessions and meetings to strengthen the security system designed for the inauguration had taken place. “We will implement tight security to prevent any attempt to disrupt the inauguration,” Widana said.
He said that access to the council’s office and the neighboring governor’s office would be completely restricted. “Only those invited to the inauguration and civil servants working in those offices would be allowed entry.”
Police personnel will also be deployed to secure the Renon area to anticipate any potential rallies. “We really hope that there will be no mass mobilization during the inauguration,” he stated.
Rumors have sparked that security disturbances could occur during the inauguration given the fact that emotions between Pastika’s supporters and his contender’s ran high during the campaign and post-election period in May.
The Bali General Election Commission (KPUD Bali) declared Pastika and his running mate, Sudikerta, currently Badung deputy regent, as winners of the gubernatorial election with a tiny majority of 996 votes over their opponents, Anak Agung Ngurah Puspayoga and his running mate Dewa Nyoman Sukrawan.
The PDI-P, who endorsed the opponents, filed a lawsuit against the KPUD’s decision with the Constitutional Court, accusing Pastika’s team of structural violations during the election. The lawsuit was rejected by the Constitutional Court.
Ni Made Sumiati, a PDI-P politician who is also a member of Bali Legislative Council, gave her assurances that the PDI-P would not mobilize masses during the inauguration. “We have already accepted the Constitutional Court decision. We respect the decision. So, I assure you that there will not be any protest,” she said.
The inauguration should have taken place on Aug. 28 to coincide with the tenure of the recent governor and deputy governor. However, it has been delayed until Aug. 29, to allow the home minister to preside over the event.
Therefore, the secretary of the provincial administration has been appointed as Bali’s acting governor for the intervening period of around nine hours.
The chairman of Bali Legislative Council’s Commission I, who is also a PDI-P politician, Made Arjaya, stated that the delay was not an attempt to thwart the inauguration. “The delay was forced due to a technical problem. The rumors are not true about the attempt to thwart the inauguration. The PDI-P has accepted the result,” he said.

The Quick Count Result of the Gubernatorial Election
Poll on May 15 2013
carried out by Two Independent Survey Agencies
Deni Irvani researcher of ,Saiful Mujani Research & Consulting ( SMRC) cited the result as follows ,
Based on the accumulated number of votes : 100% from the 400 polling stations data sampling out of .6,371 polling stations
Estimated margin deviation (margin error ) : 1 percent
Methodology used : Combination of proportional stratified-cluster random sampling.
Estimated prevalence of golput (non-voters) is 26.33 percent
1. Anak Agung Gede Ngurah Puspayoga-Dewa Nyoman Sukrawan (PAS) : 50.31 percent
2. Made Mangku Pastika - Ketut Sudikerta Pasti-Kerta) : 49.69 percent
Note : The official result is still subject to updating and actual ballot counting and verification by Bali Provincial General elections Commission
"PAS has got more favors and votes from five regencies, Denpasar, Bangli, Gianyar, Tabanan, and Jembrana. In the meantime Pasti-Kerta excelled in the poll results within 4 regencies, Badung, Klungkung, Karangasem, and Buleleng," the researcher of SMRC, Deni Irvani, quoted as saying as he was elaborating the Quick count result during the press conference at Hotel Inna Grand Bali Beach, Wednesday afternoon (05/15/2013).
However, he further went on saying, the slight difference of votes achieved could not be possibly used to determine who has won the election, for the number of votes collected so far by both contestants did not vary so significantly owing to the difference in less than two percent or still within the tolerance of quick count margin error.

As for Puspayoga’s camp, they were apparently confident that their candidate would have the winning edge.
Hasto Kristianto, a deputy secretary general of PDI-P, which nominated and backed Puspayoga, said that the party’s own quick count projected the same results as the SMRC’s polling. “We welcome this news with great delight even though the result is not yet official,” he said.
However, Pastika said that nothing should be assumed until after the Bali office of the General Elections Commission (KPU) had counted and verified all the ballots and made an official announcement.
“We’d better wait for the official results being published by the KPU,” he said.
“What we have to do now is to monitor the ongoing process as the ballots have been taken from polling stations to village and ward offices for the manual count.”
Meanwhile Ketut Sukawati Lanang Putra Perbawa, the chairman of the Bali KPU, said that with such a close result, officials and the public would have to watch the manual counting process very carefully to prevent cheating or other problems.
He also added that a KPU meeting to tally up the ballots from each village and ward would take place sometime between May 25 and 27, when the official results will eventually be announced.
Whoever turns out to be winning this election, the Elected Governor and Vice Governor still have got lots of national and international issues and events to attend to, to mention a few, more equitable distribution of developments between the North and South of Bali, Balinese culture preservation, sustainable tourism based on culture & community and agriculture, security for tourists and residents alike, social security and safety net for the underprivileged people, poverty eradication, affordable education, jobs creation and employees 'enhanced welfare

Professor Dr. Ida Bagoes Oka – Bali’s seventh governor from 1988-1993. Oka also served as Minister of Population and Head of the National Family Planning Board during the presidency of Jusuf Habibie.

Hasto Kristianto, a deputy secretary general of PDI-P, which nominated and backed Puspayoga, said that the party’s own quick count projected the same results as the SMRC’s polling. “We welcome this news with great delight even though the result is not yet official,” he said.
However, Pastika said that nothing should be assumed until after the Bali office of the General Elections Commission (KPU) had counted and verified all the ballots and made an official announcement.
“We’d better wait for the official results being published by the KPU,” he said.
“What we have to do now is to monitor the ongoing process as the ballots have been taken from polling stations to village and ward offices for the manual count.”
Meanwhile Ketut Sukawati Lanang Putra Perbawa, the chairman of the Bali KPU, said that with such a close result, officials and the public would have to watch the manual counting process very carefully to prevent cheating or other problems.
He also added that a KPU meeting to tally up the ballots from each village and ward would take place sometime between May 25 and 27, when the official results will eventually be announced.

A Chronology of Bali’s Governors from 1950 to the Present
With Bali’s next governor’s race set to take place island-wide on May 15, 2013, the next man to sit as the island’s chief executive, depending on the results of that poll, will be either the 10th or 9th person to hold that office, depending on whether or not incumbent Made Mangku Pastika is re-elected.
With the information provided by Beritabali.com and other sources, here’s the chronology of Bali’s governors dating from the island’s official recognition as a province of Bali in 1950.
Anak Agung Bagus Sutedja – He served as the first period as Bali governor from 1950-1958, subsequently returning for a second term 1958-1965.
Sutedja, who was a son of the last King of Jembrana (Anak Agung Bagus Negara). was appointed governor by Indonesia’s first President Ir Sukarno. Sutedja’s term of office came to an end a few months after the failed Gestapu Coup of September 1965.
As an interesting footnote, Sutedja disappeared mysteriously on July 29, 1966 while he was in Jakarta, believed to have been the victim of a political kidnapping.
I Gusti Bagus Oka – Served a short one-year interim term as Bali's second governor from 1958-1959.
I Gusti Putu Martha – Served from 1965-1967 as Bali’s fourth governor
Soekarmen – Bali’s fifth governor from 1967-1978. Soekarmen was a retired Brigadier General and the first non-Balinese and non-Hindu to serve as governor, with two successive terms of office.
Prior to becoming Bali’s governor, Soekarman served as the military commander at the Denpasar Military Command.
Professor Dr. Ida Bagus Mantra – A much loved very popular governor, Mantra labored tirelessly on behalf of the Balinese people and their culture, Mantra is credited with rules requiring Balinese architectural style in building projects and with the creation of the Bali Arts Festival.
Mantra served as Bali’s sixth governor for two terms from 1978 – 1988, and as Indonesia’s Ambassador to India before his death in 1995.
Professor Dr. Ida Bagoes Oka – Bali’s seventh governor from 1988-1993. Oka also served as Minister of Population and Head of the National Family Planning Board during the presidency of Jusuf Habibie.
In 2001 Oka was found guilty of corruption while in office, fined Rp. 2.4 billion and sentenced to one year in prison.
Drs. Dewa Made Beratha – the eighth governor of Bali served two consecutive terms from 1998 - 2008.
I Made Mangku Pastika was Bali’s first chief executive elected by popular vote in 2008. He is currently seeking a second term in the election to be held May 15, 2013.
Pastika is retired as a Brigadier General in the Indonesian Police Force and was instrumental in capturing the Bali Bombers who killed 202 people in Bali nightspots in 2003, He was honored by TIME Magazine (Asia) as a “Man of the Year” in 2002. Pastika speaks six languages and graduated at the top of his class at the National Police Academy in 1974.
Pastika is the ninth person to serve as Governor of Bali
Security is one of the key issues underlying Bali’s highly lucrative
tourist industry, which has become the economic backbone for the great
majority of Bali’s 4.2 million residents. Therefore, Bali will ensure
security on the island is maintained, especially in the face of the
upcoming gubernatorial election slated to take place on May 15.
The tight security arrangements required to safeguard all phases of the gubernatorial election will be funded with an allocation of Rp 12 billion (US$1.23 million) from the provincial administration’s 2013 annual budget.
“We have allocated a special budget for the security operations for the gubernatorial election. This special budget was handed over to the Bali Police to support their operations,” Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika told reporters on Wednesday, after the handover of 11 cars to Kodam IX Udayana Military Command and Wirasatya Military Command in Denpasar. The vehicles have been provided on a grant to support security operations on the island.
Pastika said Bali’s security could not be taken for granted. “Security should be built. Security should be maintained. Don’t think that once we feel secure, it happened without any effort. We need extra costs to build and maintain security,” he said.
The success and peacefulness of the gubernatorial election, he added, would determine the future of Bali as many national and international events would be held after the election, such as the APEC Summit, the ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization and the Miss World pageant. “We have to ensure that the election runs smoothly without any conflict,” he added.
Wirasatya Military Command chief Col. Anton Nugroho conveyed his gratitude to the governor for the vehicles he provided, saying that the vehicles would support their operations in this hectic year, including securing the gubernatorial election.
Anton added that his institution, in cooperation with the Bali Police, had already started security operations in anticipation of possible conflict during the election. “We really hope that everyone in Bali would maintains security during the election. Don’t even think about anarchy as it would damage our island,” he stressed.
Previously, Bali Police operational chief Sr. Comr. Alit Widana said that the Bali Police had prepared everything needed to secure the democratic event. “We will safeguard the election process, in all its phases, to ensure that things that could disturb the democratic process do not take place,” he said.
He disclosed that as many as 7,500 police personnel would be deployed across the island. “For special conditions, we could deploy 12,000 police personnel, the maximum number that the Bali Police has. If we think that we need more resources, the National Police will deploy their team. So, don’t worry,” Widana declared.
Elsewhere, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the Bali General Election Commission (KPUD) inaugurated 145 students as election ambassadors for Bali at Wiswa Sabha building in the governor’s office complex on Wednesday afternoon. The students, from 12 public and private universities across Bali, will be charged with supervising the election process.
“The ambassadors will supervise this democratic process and embody the fairness and integrity of the election. We have chosen students to be ambassadors because they are the younger generation that have dreams, they are agents of change and idealists,” the KPUD chairman, Ketut Sukawati Lanang Perbawa, said.
