It's vulnerable. The nomination was part of a democratic election. There are some violations that could harm the democratic process in the election: the election in favor of the ruling made by the candidate, the practice of money politics. And almost in some areas problems arise, some political parties nominate a person, but suddenly when the Commission announced that no political party withdrew, because they feel something is not right and there is a political process that occurs in the recall.

This is not out of the constitutional design of the Regional Autonomy Law Article 18; therefore, the authorities in the proposed political party candidates in the election are the same level as the management of elections in the area. In a sense, if the Election districts / cities, administratively, the proposed regional head candidates, are administrators at district / city level, "he said.
