Tangerang Mayor Wahidin Halim has officially resigned from his position, in order to seek re-election in the upcoming mayoral election.
Jakarta administration assistant Affandi Permana has also resigned, in order to run as a candidate in the regency election in Ciamis, West Java.
Both politicians resigned to comply with a 2004 law on regional administrations that obliges officials seeking election to leave office.
"Wahidin Halim's resignation letter was approved by Home Affairs Minister Madriyanto on August 2. Wahidin Halim relinquished his role as head of the administration on that date," administration spokesman Saiful Rochman said Tuesday.
Control of the administration has been given to deputy mayor Deddy Safei, until a new mayor is sworn on September 6.
