The 2018 Bandung mayoral election took place on 27 June 2018 as part of the simultaneous local elections. It was held to elect the mayor of Bandung along with their deputy.
Sitting mayor Ridwan Kamil, while eligible for a second term, did not run due to his bid for the province's governorship. Vice mayor Oded Muhammad Danial came out on top, defeating city secretary Yossi Irianto in addition to former lawmaker and Golkar politician Nurul Arifin.
The KPU has stated that there will be approximately 1.7 million voters in the city.[2] Registration for party-backed candidates were opened between 8 and 10 January 2018, while independent candidates were required to register between 22 and 26 November 2017.[3] The campaigning period would commence between 15 February and 24 June, with a three-day election silence before voting on 27 June.[4] The vote itself follows a first past the post system.[5]
The candidates were assigned their order number on 13 February 2018. A public debate covered by media outlets was held on 15 April 2018.[6]
