The Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) RI announced that it has begun the selection and evaluation process in preparation for the 2024 simultaneous regional elections (Pilkada).

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Mr. Sotarduga proposed that if their party collaborates with PKB to support Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, they would offer the gubernatorial seat in East Java to PDIP. “For instance, in Jakarta, if PKB is the gubernatorial candidate, can PDIP be the gubernatorial candidate in East Java? Of course, it’s not a barter, but that’s what cooperation means, we can’t win everything on our own, we must collaborate,” said Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday.

nIn addition, Andre stated that he has asked the Secretary, district heads, and village heads to coordinate with the PPK, PPS, and Panwascam to provide support and attention regarding facilities provision

Meanwhile, Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian stated that the government must assist the KPU and Bawaslu in the regions, including utilizing emergency funds. He mentioned that besides budgeting, regions also play a role in providing facilities and infrastructure (sarpras) for the simultaneous regional elections.

Meanwhile, Acting Governor of West Sulawesi Bahtiar Baharuddin affirmed his commitment to implementing the central government’s directives to ensure the success of the regional elections. He also mentioned the availability of the budget and facilitation as regulated by the law.

“Actually, our evaluation and selection are being formulated today and will be completed soon. We will inform the Panwas (Supervisory Committee) in the regions, and the Bawaslu at the regency/city level to conduct the evaluation process for the Panwas at the sub-district level,” said Bawaslu RI Chairman Rahmat Bagja at the Bawaslu RI Building in Jakarta on Tuesday (16/4/2024), as reported by Antara.

This was conveyed by Fahmi at the Readiness Roll Call of Voter Data Update Officers (Pantarlih) for the Jakarta gubernatorial election (Pilgub) at the Jakarta International Velodrome, Rawamangun, East Jakarta, on June 24, 2024. “Yes, there has been an increase compared to the 2024 General Election. In the 2024 General Election, our number of voters was 8,252,897,” said Fahmi.

Bagja explained that the selection process is also ongoing, specifically the selection of Ad Hoc Panwas prepared by Bawaslu’s Human Resources (HR) Division. Meanwhile, he mentioned that the evaluation is related to the performance of the Ad Hoc Panwas during the previous Presidential and Legislative Elections. “If the Ad Hoc Panwas did not perform well during the Presidential and Legislative Elections, we can evaluate and re-select for the Pilkada,” said Bagja.

He mentioned that the selection and evaluation are conducted because the term of office for the Ad Hoc Panwas continues until two months after the inauguration of the elected President and Vice President or until December 2024.

“The proposal from Eriko is interesting,” said Huda at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday. According to Huda, the possibility of PKB allying with PDIP in Jakarta is open if PDIP is ready to become the deputy governor for Anies and if PKS fails to find a coalition partner in the Jakarta Pilkada. “It is possible that PKB, with PDIP as the deputy, could happen if PKS fails to find a coalition partner,” clarified Huda.

The facilities in question, according to Andre, include assigning personnel to the PPK, PPS, and Panwascam secretariats, providing room facilities, logistical assistance, Trantibum, and most importantly, ensuring the neutrality of ASN

Regarding the recruitment and selection process by the General Election Commission (KPU) RI, Bagja asked all Bawaslu commissioners and staff to supervise this process. “We must supervise the recruitment and selection conducted by the KPU in recruiting the Sub-district Election Committees, Village Election Committees, and in the future, the Voting Organizing Groups (KPPS). This is our collective duty, and we hope we can accomplish it,” said Bagja.
