JAKARTA. Jakarta Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama has challenged possible rivals in next year's Jakarta gubernatorial election to focus on improving the capital rather than on undermining him. Candidate hopefuls should reveal their programs so that Jakartans have clear information on programs that would best suit them, Ahok said on Tuesday. "So it would not only be to band together to beat Ahok. I feel sorry for Jakartans if that’s what you aim to do. If you want to beat Ahok and succeed, what then? You need to have clear programs," he told journalists at City Hall.
