PDIP Disappointed By Cak Imin Even Proposed 2024 Election Postponed: Breaking The Agreement Approved By The PKB Faction

JAKARTA - Member of Commission II of the DPR from the PDIP faction, Rifqinizamy Karsayuda, regretted the statement by the Deputy Speaker of the DPR from the PKB faction, Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin, who proposed the postponement of the 2024 election.

According to Rifqi, the PKB general chairman's statement violated the agreement between the DPR and the government and KPU-Bawaslu regarding Simultaneous Elections covering the Pilleg and Presidential Elections to be held on February 14, 2024.

"Regarding the statement by Muhaimin Iskandar who proposed the postponement of the 2024 General Election, I think that statement certainly violates the agreement that has been decided by the government, election organizers and the DPR regarding voting day on February 14, 2024," Rifqi told reporters, Wednesday, February 23.

Meanwhile the Simultaneous Pilkada agreed to be held in November 2024. "Where the PKB faction is part of the agreement which is a joint decision," he continued.

Therefore, the PDIP Legislator for the South Kalimantan Dapil considered that Cak Imin's proposal did not need to be followed up. So that there will be no noise in the community regarding the election, especially now the focus is on preparing for the 2024 General Election.

"Cak Imin's discourse does not need to be continued so that there is no polemic in the public," said Rifqi.

"Because now it is better for us to focus on compiling the stages, including filling various normative voids. Both in PKPU and Perbawaslu so that the 2024 elections will be better in order to produce a new national leadership," he added.
