Speaking Of Cawe-cawe In The 2024 Pilkada, PDIP Asks National Police Chief Listyo Sigit To Be Removed

Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP Deddy Sitorus asked President Prabowo Subianto to remove National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit from his position. This is because PDIP found intervention or chaos from the police in the 2024 Pilkada.

Deddy revealed that the government must conduct an in-depth evaluation of Listyo's involvement in abusing the authority of the apparatus in the regional head election. Because, this can tarnish the good name of the Prabowo government.

"It must be started by replacing Listyo Sigit as Head of the Indonesian National Police and conducting an in-depth evaluation of the domestic ministry. In that way, we can continue to participate positively in Prabowo's presidency," said Deddy at the PDIP DPP Office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Thursday, November 28.

In addition, Deddy said that PDIP was investigating the proposal for the Police to be repositioned under the control of the TNI Commander or returned under the Ministry of Home Affairs.

"It's the police's job, maybe if later the DPR can agree, keep our traffic safe and smooth. Patrol around the house to the house so that people sleep well. There is a section of the detective that is tasked with investigating, unraveling, doing, resolving crime cases to get to court. Beyond that, I don't think there is any need anymore," explained Deddy.

With this regard, Deddy revealed that currently there is a new cultural term that develops in the general election system in Indonesia. PDIP calls it Jokowism culture.

Deddy said that the term Jokowisme was an effort from the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, since he was still the President until he was no longer in office, to design general elections and regional head elections according to his interests.

In Jokoowism culture, Deddy said Jokowi mobilized the police apparatus's instruments to be able to run the dark side of democracy.

"What is the instrument used with Jokowism-style election politics? Of course something very big, strong network, has the ability to raise funds, raise certain groups that have become public knowledge. Now we know 'brown party'," explained Deddy.

Furthermore, Deddy emphasized, "brown party" as Jokowi's political instrument does not fully cover the police and only the elements. However, he emphasized that this movement was already a command line.

"I think the key holder is (Kapolri) Listyo Sigit. He is responsible for the institutions he controls, which he leads. Which turns out to be part of our democratic damage. This is a responsibility that I think must be burdened with throughout history," explained Deddy.
