Mahfud MD: The 2024 General Election Belongs To All Indonesian People
Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD emphasized that the 2024 General Election does not only belong to election organizers or the government, but belongs to all Indonesian people.
"The 2024 election belongs to all Indonesian people," Mahfud said at the "Sendung Peaceful Election" event at the Fairmont Hotel, Jakarta, reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, July 18.
According to him, the five-year democratic party belongs to all Indonesian people. For this reason, all parties must work together to maintain the sustainability of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).
The 2024 election, continued Mahfud, will determine the future of Indonesian democracy which has more integrity, quality and dignity. Not only that, to realize peaceful elections, every individual must be sensitive and alert in overcoming indications of vulnerability in holding elections.
Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs said the narrative of peaceful elections is different from political wars, but rather political consolidation. If the narrative of this peaceful election is rarely raised in the midst of society, Mahfud is worried about instability in political conditions.
"Of course these narratives can be put forward by our respective positions," he added.
