For technical implementation, his party had coordinated with related stakeholders in the ranks of North Jakarta administration, last Friday (6/16). Hopefully, coordination could finalize the technical implementation later.

He went on to say that his party had freed up the time and place for the competition in each sub-district. Technically, the rules only state that participants in the SKJ 2022 competition will come from representatives from each RW with a total of seven team members.

Later on, the first winner of the competition at the sub-district level will immediately take part in the competition at the provincial level which falls on September 10.

As for the implementation of aerobics competitions in each sub-district is open to individuals from the local area. According to him, until now, there has been no final decision whether aerobics will also be contested at the provincial level or only at the urban village level.

"We hope for the support of all parties to make FOR successful in 2023," he stated.
