Dream - Former Deputy Governor of Central Java, Taj Yasin, leads the vote count for the Regional Representative Council of Central Java based on the real count of the General Election Commission (KPU). The son of KH Maimoen Zubair or Mbah Moen is able to surpass the incumbent, Casytha Arriwi Kathmandu, and Abdul Kholik.

Until Wednesday, February 21, 2024 at 14:10 WIB, Taj Yasin managed to obtain 2,721,585 votes or 20.63 percent. The number of votes received has reached 97,989 out of 117,299 polling stations or 83.54 percent. Taj Yasin is leading compared to the four incumbents in the Central Java Regional Representative Council (DPD Jateng). Casytha Arriwi Kathmandu is in second place with the most votes in the Central Java Regional Representative Council election.

In the third position of the most votes, there is Abdul Kholik with a total of 1,569,876 votes or 11.9 percent. Meanwhile, Denty Eka Widi Pratiwi sits in fourth place with the most votes. This incumbent was only able to receive 1,381,738 votes or 10.47 percent. However, the results of the Central Java Regional Representative Council (DPD Jateng) election are still awaiting 100 percent of the votes and manual data recapitulation. Nevertheless, these preliminary results provide an indication that Taj Yasin is still popular in Central Java.

The result is actually the opposite of Ganjar Pranowo, Taj Yasin's partner, when leading Central Java. As is known, Ganjar is running as a presidential candidate (capres) in the 2024 election. Although winning the 2018 regional election together with Taj Yasin, Ganjar actually suffered a defeat in Central Java.

In the areas claimed as PDIP's stronghold, Ganjar-Mahfud actually lost to the Prabowo-Gibran pair. Ganjar obtained 6,317,915 votes or 34.4 percent, far below Prabowo-Gibran's 9,714,749 votes or 52.9 percent.
