Ratu Atut Chosiya still harbors ambitions to become governor of Banten—which will further enhance the influence of the powerful local clan led by Tubagus Chasan Sochib. Family members dominate the Banten bureaucracy and business sector, doing rather well in winning government-funded projects. Atut’s younger brother is suspected of being behind many of these power plays. But in an interview with Tempo, Atut says she sees nothing wrong with this ‘political clan,’ claiming her family members have been democratically elected.
