VIVA – The visit of the governor of northern Maluku, Sherly Tjoanda, to the residence of the former regent of Purwakarta, as well as a public figure of Western Java, Dedi Mulyadi, fired the public’s attention. The arrival of Sherly to Lembur Pakuan Sukadaya, the village built by Dedi Mulyadi, originally aimed at learning as a regional leader.

As a new governor, Sherly Tjoanda said she wanted to obtain knowledge of the figures that were considered experienced as Dedi Mulyadi. However, Dedi Mulyadi was really modest, saying that it was not appropriate enough to be a reference, although it had served as regent of Purwakarta. I expected more than Sherly, he would enjoy the village that was a pioneer, without coming to a comparative study.

The warm interaction between the two caused the public to speculate on their proximity. Not a few who began to match these two figures, especially both of them did not have a life partner.

He was officially appointed as governor of North Mlectuku on February 20, 2025 for the period until 2030, replacing the previously pioneer position with his late husband.

The support of the Democratic Party and eight other parties brought Sherly to win the political answer, accompanied by his deputy, Sarbin Sehe. In addition to being active in the government, Sherly also served as president of the Bela Peduli Foundation and led the DPD of the Association of Harmony of Indonesian Farmers (HKTI) of the province of Northern Maluku.

Viral on social networks: Mulyadi and Sherly Tjoanda are expected

Sherly’s visit to Java Occidental went viral not only for the comparative study agenda, but also because of the presence of Dedi Mulyadi, which was widower. As is known, Dedi divorced Anne Matna Mustika after 20 years of marriage. From the marriage, Dedi was blessed with three children, just like Sherly.

The warmth and closeness of the two in the midst of public activities make people build a romance narrative. Many judge the age of 11 of the 11 years to seem harmonious. However, the differences in beliefs are in the center of attention that is inevitable.

Responding to a fixed marriage of citizens, Dedi Mulyadi only responded with the quotation of the song “mangu” of a four years that implies differences in religion between them. Even so, Dedi’s reaction was actually considered a form of recognition that feelings could have grown between the two.

Some citizens even believe that all possibilities are still open, including changes in belief if the relationship between the two is really developing in the future.
