Failed To Return To The DPR, Arteria Dahlan: This Is A Game, There Is A Win There Is A Loss
JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives Arteria Dahlan certainly failed to sit back in the parliamentary seat. PDI-P legislative candidate (caleg) from the East Java electoral district VI had to lose seats in the DPR because it only gained 62,242 votes. Arteria admitted that his seat was snatched by another legislative candidate from the PDIP. According to him, the losing party must be aware of itself and evaluate its performance, especially incumbents. "In principle, we respect, this is a competition, and this is indeed the time for the people to evaluate. Whatever the result, we accept it with great chest and soul," Arteria told reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, March 13. According to him, if there are indications of fraud or violation, then there is already a legal channel that takes care of it. He hopes that the successor and legislative members can only channel out the aspirations and interests of the people. "I only say, this is a game, there are winners, there are losers, there are winners. Please continue and fight for the people as great as possible, with all the respect. We are the losers, of course, we must be aware of ourselves, evaluate and accept defeat," said Arteria. "But what can't be? What can't be vote manipulation. If there is vote manipulation, I will fight for it, until whenever," he continued.
