He called this step a form of commitment to build democracy. Moreover, there is no strong reason not to immediately include these points in the PKPU.
"People become the highest judges in determining their leaders independently, sovereignly, directly and without pressure and running through democratic elections with professional and neutral election organizers," he stressed.
