The General Election Commission (KPU) of Indonesia has announced the schedule for the stages of the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) to be held in 37 provinces in Indonesia. This election will not take place in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) because DIY has special regulations that do not involve elections for the appointment of the governor and deputy governor. It is known that Yogyakarta has special regulations that are only possessed by a few other regions in Indonesia. This is stipulated in Law Number 13 of 2012 concerning the Special Status of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) .

PKB: We Want to Build Jakarta Together with PDIP The National Awakening Party (PKB) has expressed its desire to build Jakarta together with PDIP. PKB Secretary General Hasanuddin Wahid stated that PKB’s cadres and grassroots supporters are pushing for Anies Baswedan to run in the Jakarta Pilkada. He believes that the decision would be even better if PDIP also supports Anies. “Basically, we want to build Jakarta together, with PDIP also joining us,” stated Hasanuddin Wahid to reporters on June 25, 2024.

“PPP has experienced a prolonged conflict before; splitting of the party took up a lot of time and yielded no positive results. Now, all members must unite as one large family, working together and struggling together. Therefore, discard any potential splits such as the matter of the congress, whether it’s an emergency congress or an early congress,” said Fernita on Monday. Fernita noted that the party already has rules or Should you cherished this article and also you would want to get guidance with regards to merdeka.com generously stop by the web-page. systems in place. Thus, a determination cannot be made by a single entity or, in other words, ignoring the established rules. “So, if there are pushes for an early congress to replace the chairman, it must follow PPP’s regulations or protocols. The execution of a national meeting must go through Mukernas, preceded by Rapimnas, and before that, a daily executive board meeting to decide Mukernas or the National Leadership Meeting,” she explained. “Recently, the IX National Leadership Meeting, with the participation of 38 provincial branches from across Indonesia, produced a decision that the general assembly will be held according to the AD/ART period, which is in 2025. This dismisses all issues or demands for an expedited congress,” she emphasized. Together Lastly, Fernita requested that following the 2024 elections, the entire large family and veteran members of PPP commence drafting strategies for addressing the 2029 polls. “God willing|If God wills|Inshallah, by coming together, PPP will be ready to tackle the 2029 polls even stronger,” she ended.

He stated that Sohibul also has an impressive track record in government. “Mr. Sohibul Iman is a technocrat, also a scholar who was once the rector of Paramadina University. He has experience in the legislature as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) for the 2013-2014 period and was once the president of PKS for the 2015-2020 period,” explained Syaikhu. Syaikhu mentioned that PKS is a cadre party that has a mandate to carry out political cadre regeneration and leadership regeneration. Therefore, he stated, in this simultaneous Pilkada 2024, the party will nominate its cadre to run as a regional head candidate. “Especially in the base areas where PKS is the winning party or has a majority of DPRD seats. PKS will strive to nominate its own cadre as a candidate,” stated Syaikhu.

The decision to consider nominating the former presidential candidate as the gubernatorial candidate (cagub) for Jakarta came after PDIP DPP Chairman Said Abdullah met with the Chairman of PKB, Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin, to discuss cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada. “The names that are already there, we will see later. All names are being considered,” stated PDIP DPP Chairwoman Puan Maharani at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

In the meeting, Said mentioned that PKB has a strong chance of nominating Anies for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. “If PKB, as far as I know, if I heard correctly, God willing, Anies Rasyid Baswedan,” he said. Said revealed that the results of the meeting with Cak Imin have been reported to PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto and PDIP DPP Chairwoman Puan Maharani. He also stated that he would report the view to PDIP Chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri. “It’s not certain with PDIP, we share views, not seeking agreements. My task is to report to Ms. Puan, to Mr. Secretary General,” said Said. “There might be meetings with the Chairwoman later, discussing the results of every lobby or friendly meeting among the elites,” he added.

Usually, the Pilkada is conducted in two phases, specifically the regional implementation and the legal dispute process at the Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi). “Typically, if the Pilkada is held twice, it means what? It means first conducted locally, secondly at the MK,” stated Hadi while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on June 26th. “That’s why the Indonesian National Armed Forces-Police have to be cautious about security 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 proceed without problems and securely without any hindrances in their implementation. Additionally, post-Pilkada security should also be guaranteed. Hadi continued that political and legal stability is crucial. According to him, the state and condition of Polhukam stability will greatly affect the Pilkada stages. “We agree that all components of the nation and state must to maintain political, legal, and security stability for the 2024 Pilkada,” he concluded. Preventing Conflict Before the 2024 Pilkada Hadi Tjahjanto gave a specific message to the TNI, Polri, and BIN for the security of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada. Hadi advised that regions with potential conflicts must be anticipated before security issues occur. He said this while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Wednesday. “Specifically TNI, Polri, and BIN. BIN was also attending, in the mapping of regions, must identify regions with potential conflicts to anticipate security disturbances before they occur,” stated Hadi. “TNI, Polri, and BIN have to be alert, aware beforehand, so that they can mitigate any possible issues,” he added. Furthermore, Hadi called for collaboration from local governments in facilitating the 2024 Pilkada organization. If local governments fail to support, the concurrent Pilkada will inevitably be disrupted. “Therefore, total synergy can guarantee the successful implementation of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada,” he said. Hadi urged local governments to take important measures, including avoiding overlaps between the central and local governments.
