anten Governor Wahid Halim inaugurated Arief R. Wismansyah and Sachrudin as mayor and deputy mayor of Tangerang, respectively, on Wednesday following an electoral victory against the blank box during a mayoral election earlier this year. 

“I believe that [Arief and Sachrudin] can run their duties well as mandated,” Wahidin said in a speech at the provincial administration office, which was live streamed on YouTube, as reported by kompas.com.

The pair, who have held the position since the previous election in 2013, faced no competition during the election in June because all parties controlling seats in the city decided to throw their support behind Arief and Sachrudin to lead the municipal administration for another five-year term.

The couple earned 609,428 votes, or 84.7 percent of the total legitimate votes.

Arief, who is the owner of Sari Asih Hospital Group, was Tangerang deputy mayor from 2008 to 2013, while Sachrudin had served as Piang district chief prior to being elected as deputy mayor. (fac)
