Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Pretty much meets the requirements, but I see one issue: the ALT1 hook states that when West Java governor Nana Nuriana ran for reelection in 1998, he faced sixteen competitors while I read in the article his candidacy was challenged with seventeen gubernatorial candidates running for the office – was it sixteen or seventeen? Also, I'll AGF on the sources, both of which I am unable to read. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:16, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Juxlos: Apparently, the statement from book cited for this statement is a bit misleading. The 16 candidates that were mentioned in the book was actually to-be candidates (bakal calon) instead of candidates (calon). I've searched for some Kompas sources that I've saved regarding the gubernatorial election and here's what they say about the gubernatorial election process:
DPRD Jawa Barat Kamis (5/2) sore mengakhiri masa penjaringan usulan bakal calon gubernur periode 1998-2003 dengan total usulan yang masuk 16 nama dari 79 aspirasi. Hari terakhir penjaringan diwarnai kejutan dengan masuknya usulan resmi untuk Mayjen TNI Agum Gumelar (Pangdam VII Wirabuana).
Dari 16 calon yang terdaftar, terdapat delapan tokoh dari keluarga besar ABRI (KBA). Empat di antaranya masih menyandang pangkat jenderal aktif, yakni Mayjen TNI Adang Ruchiatna, Mayjen TNI Tayo Tarmadi, Mayjen TNI Rustandi dan Mayjen TNI Agum Gumelar. Sedang empat lainnya sudah purnawirawan, yakni R Nuriana (gubernur Jabar sekarang), Rosadi Brataadmadja, Soedradjat Nataatmadja serta HMA Sampurna. Sementara delapan calon dari sipil masing-masing Prof Ir Wiranto Arismunandar, Prof Dr Yuyun Wirasasmita, Rachmat Witoelar, Ir Soenoto, Momon Gandasasmita, Tatang Suhendar, Dr Diharna, serta Udin Koswara.
