Jokowi: People Must Give Free Choice Rights

JAKARTA - The 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) appealed to the public to remain calm ahead of the day of the regional head election (pilkada) on Wednesday (27/11).

"Yes, in calm times, everyone must be calm, have to be calm," he said in Solo, Central Java, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, November 25.

He asked the public to keep the atmosphere peaceful and safe.

"Everyone can give their right to vote freely," he said.

Jokowi said sovereignty is in the hands of the people.

Previously, the Coordinator of the Surakarta City Bawaslu Violation, Data and Information Division, Poppy Kusuma, said that Bawaslu had brought order to campaign props (APK) before entering a period of calm.

Referring to PKPU 13/2024, this control of the APK will be maximized before entering the quiet period of the campaign on 24-26 November 2024.

Therefore, Bawaslu and related partners will then clean up the remains of the APK in the village area and so on.
