Gorontalo development and political landscape

Overview

In Gorontalo, provincial leadership continues to balance regional development with navigating political rumors. The provincial government is actively preparing for the 2026 Gorontalo Half Marathon (GoHM), an event intended to promote tourism with a target of attracting at least 7,500 runners across various categories. Governor Gusnar Ismail and Vice Governor Idah Syahidah Rusli Habibie recently led preparatory meetings to coordinate the event.

Amidst these preparations, the administration has addressed ongoing rumors of political friction between the Governor and Vice Governor, particularly following signals of evaluation from the Golkar Party faction in the Provincial DPRD. Spokesperson David Radjak has maintained that the leadership remains solid and continues to coordinate effectively. Governor Ismail further addressed these concerns during an informal meeting with citizens at a coffee shop in the Pasar Sentral area. Responding to resident inquiries regarding potential coalition fractures, Ismail suggested that recent media coverage has provided a complete picture and stated there is no need for further public debate.

On the development front, the Regional Food Safety Competent Authority (OKKPD) is working to enhance the competitiveness of local rice through the Prima 2 Certification process. This initiative includes providing technical guidance to local businesses on post-harvest management, such as drying processes, contamination prevention, and optimized milling and sorting to ensure higher product quality.
