Dream - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has ratified Law No. 2/2024 concerning the Special Capital Region of Jakarta (DKJ). One of the provisions of the law regulates the transfer of the capital status from Jakarta to the Nusantara Capital (IKN).

Article 1, paragraph 1 states that the Special Capital Region of Jakarta is a province that has a specialty in conducting governance.

Article 1 paragraph 2 states that the special authority referred to is the authority held by the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Province regarding the implementation of functions as the National Economic Center and Global City. However, the transition of the capital city status from Jakarta to the National Capital Integrated Coastal Development (IKN) mentions that Jakarta will still remain the capital city until the president's decision regarding the relocation of the national capital city is determined. This is stated in Article 63 Number 2 of 2024 concerning DKJ.

Article 63 states, "At the time this Law is officially enacted, the Special Capital Region of Jakarta shall remain as the Capital City of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia until the President's Decision regarding the relocation of the Capital City of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia from the Special Capital Region of Jakarta to the Archipelago Capital City (IKN) in accordance with the provisions of the legislation."

Meanwhile, in Article 2 of Law Number 2 of 2024, it is explained that with the existence of such regulations, the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Province will change its name to the Special Region of Jakarta Province. Furthermore, in the future, the Capital City of the Special Region of Jakarta Province will be determined by government regulation (PP). It is also explained that the Special Region of Jakarta Province is an autonomous region at the provincial level.

Furthermore, it is explained that the government of DKJ Province is led by one governor who is assisted by a vice governor who is directly elected through Pilkada.
