01:01out of a total of 50 seats in the Probolinggo Regional Council of Representatives.

01:15and the head of the Probolinggo region by using the seats obtained from the last election.

01:37PDIP, 7 seats,
01:39P3, 6 seats,
01:41and PKS, 1 seat,
01:43while only one party meets the minimum threshold of seats
01:48so that they can nominate a candidate without having to coalition,
01:52namely the Golkar party with 10 seats.

02:01This can be seen so far by several parliamentary parties,
02:04namely P3, PKS, and Golkar have supported
02:09Muhammad Haris Damanhuri Romli or often known as Gus Haris from Gerindra.

02:20Buruh Party, Garuda Party, PKN, PBB, Demokrat Party, Perindo Party, Gelora Party, and Umat Party.
02:29In addition, there are recent rumors that PKB will join the major coalition
02:36by nominating Fahmi Abdul Haq or Akrab in Sapara Fahmi
02:42to accompany Gus Haris.
02:44This major coalition has received criticism from Hassan Aminuddin,
02:48a former Probolinggo regent,
02:50who is in the middle of a case of TPPU and gratification.
02:54He said that a major coalition by nominating only one candidate is proof of the decline of democracy.
03:01Meanwhile, only two parties have seats in the DPRD,
03:06such as PDIP and NASDEM,
03:08which opens the network of candidates for regional leaders.
03:11But until now, the direction of politics has not been determined.
