Head of the Expert Council of the Central Board of the United Development Party (PPP), Fernita J. Amirsyah, called on all leaders and cadres to stay together ahead of the 2024 Regional Elections and not be agitated by issues that could cause division.

Typically, the Pilkada is conducted in two phases, namely the local elections and the dispute route at the Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi). “Usually, if the Pilkada is conducted twice, it means what? It means first conducted locally, secondly at the MK,” said Hadi while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Wednesday. “That’s why the TNI-Polri have to be vigilant about safeguarding during the actual Pilkada and during the MK sessions, ensuring the readiness of the TNI-Polri forces to safeguard the regions,” he continued. Hadi hopes the 2024 Pilkada stages will run without problems and safely without any obstacles in their implementation. Besides, post-Pilkada security should also be ensured. Hadi added that political and legal stability is essential. He believes, the situation and condition of Polhukam stability will greatly affect the Pilkada stages. “We agree that all components of the nation and state need to maintain political, legal, and security stability for the 2024 Pilkada,” he concluded. Anticipating Conflict Before the 2024 Pilkada Hadi Tjahjanto provided a special message to the TNI, Polri, and BIN for the safety of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada. Hadi advised that regions with potential conflicts must be anticipated before security issues occur. He stated this while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on June 26th, 2024. “Particularly TNI, Polri, and BIN. BIN was also present, in the identification of regions, have to determine regions with potential conflicts to mitigate security issues before they occur,” said Hadi. “TNI, Polri, and BIN have to be alert, aware in advance, so that they can mitigate any potential issues,” he continued. Furthermore, Hadi requested synergy from local governments in facilitating the 2024 Pilkada implementation. If local governments fail to support, the concurrent Pilkada will certainly be hindered. “Therefore, total collaboration can guarantee the successful conduct of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada,” he stated. Hadi reminded local governments to take strategic steps, including avoiding overlaps between the central and local governments.

“Learning from the previous presidential election, I ask the regional governments to assist the KPU and Bawaslu, which lack offices, warehouses, and facilities for remote areas, such as in Maluku, North Maluku, and the islands. If there are difficulties, help as much as possible using existing funds, regular or emergency budgets (BTT),” said Tito Karnavian.

The event was attended by KPU RI Chairman Hasyim Asy’ari, along with Secretary General Bernad Dermawan Sutrisno, and other members Idham Holik and Yulianto Sudrajat. Representatives from the KPU of 38 provinces throughout Indonesia, as well as officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Bawaslu, DKPP, and other related agencies, were also in attendance.

“All parties must synergize well between the regional government and vertical agencies in the region, especially the TNI-Polri, to achieve safe and smooth elections,” said Bahtiar. Bahtiar also emphasized the importance of maintaining neutrality for all civil servants and encouraged public participation in monitoring the elections.

Anies, who is currently abroad, shared his gratitude through a post on his personal Instagram page @aniesbaswedan on June 26, 2024. “I am currently traveling, so please allow me to share this recording to express my gratitude and appreciation for PKS’s decision today as announced by Mr. PKS President,” said Anies. Anies said that he will communicate with PKS leaders to discuss further steps and follow-up actions for the Jakarta gubernatorial election (Pilgub) once he returns to the homeland. “The same goes for the other party leaders. We have struggled together in Jakarta as well as at the national level with PKS, God willing, we will continue to struggle together in the future,” stated Anies. Anies believes that besides PKB and PKS, other political parties (parties) will also support his run in the Jakarta Pilkada. He is resolved to return Jakarta to a developed city. “Alhamdulillah, after PKB and PKS, Insyaallah, other parties will also struggle together to restore Jakarta to a developed city with content citizens. Greetings to the entire PKS family,” said Anies. It is known that Anies is currently on vacation in Spain when PKS formally announced his nomination for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The moment in Spain was seen from Anies’s social media post showing him visiting the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, the capital of Spain. Anies is scheduled to be abroad for two weeks.

“PPP has endured a long conflict before; party division was very time-consuming and was unproductive. Now, all cadres must come together as one big family, holding hands and fighting together. Therefore, put aside all divisive issues such as the issue of the congress, whether it’s an extraordinary congress or an accelerated congress,” said Fernita on Monday (17/6/2024). Fernita mentioned that the organization already has policies or systems in place. Thus, a determination cannot be made by a single entity or, in other words, without following the existing mechanisms. “So, if there are pushes for an early congress to change the chairman, it must comply with PPP’s procedures or protocols. The execution of a congress must go through the party’s working meeting, following Rapimnas, and before that, a DPP daily board meeting to decide the National Working Meeting or Rapimnas,” she explained. “Recently, the IX Rapimnas, joined by 38 Regional Leadership Councils from across Indonesia, resulted in a conclusion that the congress will be held according to the AD/ART period, which is in 2025. This dismisses all issues or pushes for an accelerated congress,” she stressed.

Together Lastly, Fernita asked that post the 2024 election, the entire large family and elder statesmen of PPP start formulating plans for facing the 2029 polls. “God willing|If God wills|Inshallah, by coming together, PPP will be ready to tackle the 2029 polls even more effectively,” she ended.
