Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Mr. Tjahjanto asks the TNI-Polri to be cautious in the conduct of the concurrent Pilkada in 2024.

Hasyim added that in the 2024 Regional Elections, the KPU RI will also adopt special polling stations to ensure the fulfillment of citizens’ voting rights. “To ensure that our citizens within the designated electoral areas can still vote, such as workers in plantations and mines who cannot return to their TPS at the address on their ID cards, special location TPS will be prepared,” Hasyim emphasized.

“Therefore, once they are determined by the provincial, regency, or city KPU as candidates or pairs of candidates participating in the 2024 Regional Elections, they must immediately submit a resignation letter as elected candidates,” said Hasyim at the Parliament Building in Senayan, Jakarta (15/5/2024).

Typically, the Pilkada is conducted in two phases, specifically the local implementation and the legal dispute process at the Constitutional Court (MK). “Usually, if the Pilkada is held twice, it means what? That means initially conducted locally, and then at the MK,” stated Hadi while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Wednesday. “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 secure the regions,” he added. Hadi expects the 2024 Pilkada stages will run without problems and securely without any hindrances in their conduct. Besides, post-Pilkada security should also be ensured. Hadi continued that political and legal stability is crucial. According to him, the situation and condition of Polhukam stability will greatly influence the Pilkada stages. “We concur 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 provided a special message to the TNI, Polri, and BIN for the security of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada. Hadi urged that regions with possible conflicts must be anticipated before security issues arise. He said this while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on June 26th, 2024. “Specifically TNI, Polri, and BIN. BIN was also attending, in the mapping of regions, must determine regions with potential conflicts to anticipate security disturbances before they occur,” said Hadi. “TNI, Polri, and BIN have to be vigilant, aware in advance, so that they can anticipate any possible issues,” he continued. Furthermore, Hadi requested synergy from local governments in supporting the 2024 Pilkada organization. If local governments do not facilitate, the simultaneous Pilkada will certainly be hindered. “Therefore, total synergy can ensure the successful conduct of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada,” he said. Hadi urged local governments to take strategic steps, including avoiding overlaps between the central and local governments.

“I urge that the upcoming broadcasting bill aligns with the ideals of a democratic state that respects the nation’s character and the noble values of Pancasila. KPI’s future role must be strengthened to effectively fulfill its duties, represent public interests, uphold national morality, and support the unity of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI),” said Ma’ruf.

The Buffalo was chosen by the Dompu KPUD as the mascot for the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada. The selection of the Buffalo as the 2024 Pilkada mascot came after the KPUD held a mascot and jingle competition last April. After several processes and judging, assisted by the Department of Culture and Tourism and cultural practitioners, the judging team selected the Buffalo, designed by M. Indermawan, as the first winner. The winning mascot was adorned with Muna Pa’a (traditional Dompu weaving) and Sambolo (the Dompu tribe headband). Its design met the competition requirements by embodying the meanings of Ma Nggini, Ma Taroa, and Ma Nggari.

The General Election Commission of Indonesia (KPU RI) conducted an evaluation of the 2024 Election with Commission II of the DPR RI. This aims to ensure that the upcoming Regional Elections in November run more smoothly. One of the plans to be evaluated is the number of voters at each Polling Station (TPS). It is known that in the 2024 Election, the maximum number of voters per TPS was 300. Therefore, to be more efficient, the KPU plans to double this number.

Ma’ruf highlighted several issues that should be addressed by KPI and all broadcasting stakeholders attending the event. He asked KPI to keep overseeing and monitoring broadcasts based on the Broadcasting Code of Conduct (P3) and the Broadcasting Program Standards (SPS).

The leadership of Arief Wismansyah in Tangerang has been noted for advancement in city management and development of inclusive infrastructure, creating a solid base to advance the province of Banten.

Arief expressed his willingness to face the challenges of the Banten Pilkada with a vision focused on positive change and advancement for all community members. He shared that his decision to run was initially unexpected, but the encouragement from the community and his family made him think again. He stated that a meeting with Ma’ruf Amin, the Vice President significantly impacted his decision to run. “I was asked by VP Ma’ruf Amin, and we had a meeting. He questioned, are you really running, Mr. Arief? If you want to run, you have to win; if you’re not sure you can win, don’t run, he said. I thought he was right. Eventually, on Monday afternoon, I decided to run,” Arief said when interviewed in the Karawaci neighborhood of Tangerang City, Sunday (23/06/2024). Arief also conveyed his views on the dominant political dynasty in Banten, noting the polarization in the community related to this dominance. Nevertheless, he is confident about competing with renowned contenders in the region. “I hope to partner with the Banten citizens to build together, including with the existing dynasties,” he added. Arief stressed his readiness to cooperate with various parties for the advancement of Banten, without neglecting the interests of the people. “Whatever the outcome, I hope the next leadership can offer the best for Banten,” he concluded. With this step, Arief Rachadiono Wismansyah calls upon the people of Banten to endorse a shared vision in developing the region through the upcoming election.
