Create Polemics In The Community, Bali JPPR Raises Votes Highlighting Bawaslu Bali Recruitment

DENPASAR- Responding to the polemic of recruiting the Bali Province Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) for the period 2023-2028 in the midst of the last few days that had been widely circulated in various media, the Bali Province Voter Education Network (JPPR) finally opened its voice.

JPP Provinsj Bali Coordinator Ardi Pratama Mega Putra through a release received by the editors, Monday, June 19, said that he agreed with the public's view regarding the chaotic recruitment of Bawaslu Provinsj Bali this year. Ardi, his nickname, has smelled an emis in the process from the start because there are two versions of the Indonesian Bawaslu announcement regarding the Bali Bawaslu Selection Team (Timsel), namely in the first and second announcements with the same number, namely number 220/KP.01.00/K1/03/2023.

According to Ardi, the oddities evident from the two announcements, namely the first announcement on March 20, 2023, there was a difference in names with March 23, 2023.

"We had predicted from the beginning that there would be something from the work of the Bali Bawaslu Team because the initial indicator for the sudden change of South Timor even though it was widely circulated in the community the names of South Timor suddenly a new announcement emerged from the Indonesian Bawaslu and one of the names of South Timor was missing," explained Ardi, in his statement, quoted Monday, June 19.

Ardi continued, based on this suspicion, his party continued to monitor the performance of South Timor in every recruitment stage from the beginning to the stage of the interview and health test until South Timor announced the results of the interview and health tests to the public and according to its predictions, the results of South Timor's performance caused polemics and controversy in the public with two major errors in South Timor, namely including two participants who had real Bawaslu Bali candidates who had violated the code of ethics and were not reflected in the representation of the nation's elements as our joint commitment in caring for diversity, upholding diversity and the fixed price of upholding the Unitary State of Ripublik Indonesia (NKRI).

"Bali is a miniature and part of Indonesia is appropriate in recruiting South Timor election organizers to accommodate various elements of the nation without reducing the quality of participants from all elements of society as did South Timor in various other regions in Indonesia," said Ardi.

Ardi added that the Bali JPPR fully supports the public's steps in voicing the alleged inauthenticism and unprofessionalism of South Timor in carrying out the Bawaslu Bali recruitment process for the next five years because this is a shared responsibility in order to create a clean and quality election and election in Bali and Indonesia.

"I invite the whole community to maintain and oversee this whole process so that it is transparent and qualified so that our democracy is not injured," said Ardi.

Furthermore, Ardi said, in addition to educating the public and responding through the media, his party has also made an official public response to the Indonesian Bawaslu regarding the recruitment process for Bawaslu Bali candidates addressed to the Chairman of the Indonesian Bawaslu and copied to the chairman of the Election Organizing Honorary Council (DKPP) and the Chairman of Commission II of the DPR RI through the official email of these institutions by attaching evidence of the DKPP decision and links to several media that have raised the polemic.

"Today, the Bali JPPR as one of the election monitors has sent an official public response to the Chairman of the Indonesian Bawaslu accompanied by clear evidence and I invite all selection participants and the public to do the same so that the Indonesian Bawaslu can annull the South Timor decision and take steps again according to the laws and regulations, adhere to the principles of public openness, the principle of democracy, reflecting diversity and diversity as clear evidence of our national commitment," concluded Ardi.

As is known, the Bali Bawaslu Team in the recruitment of candidates for Bawaslu Bali members this time are AA Gede Oka Wisnumurti (Chairman), Radian Syam (Secretary) and Jeiry Sumampow members, Putu alTuni Cakabawa Landra and Putu Gede Arya Sumerta Yasa.
