Central Sulawesi Governor candidate number 3 Rusdy Mastura held a consolidation with Nunu residents, Tatanga. He emphasized his readiness to lead Central Sulawesi again.
“The achievements and successes of Central Sulawesi must be continued,” said Rusdy Mastura, Saturday, November 16, 2024.

The Constitutional Court decided to change the nomination threshold for regional heads and deputy regional heads. Through this decision, he said, the calculation of the requirements to propose a candidate pair is only based on the results of the valid votes of political parties or a combination of political parties in the elections in the relevant area, which ranges from 6.5 percent to 10 percent.

He revealed that Central Sulawesi also recorded the second highest economic growth in Indonesia in 2023, namely 11.91 percent. Then, investment realization reached Rp111.68 trillion.
“Making Central Sulawesi the only regional government outside Java that entered the top four in the highest investment realization in Indonesia, with Jakarta, West Java, and East Java occupying the top three,” he said.
