Jakarta 2024 Pilkada Runs Successfully, Head Of Bawaslu: Don't Be Careless In 2029, Needs Briefing Continues To Voters

JAKARTA - Jakarta residents are considered to have maturity in politics. This can be seen in the implementation of the Pilkada on November 27, 2024, starting from the stages of campaigns, elections, vote counting to determining the winner.

Head of Bawaslu DKI Jakarta Province Munandar Nugraha said there was no major turmoil during the implementation and election results. This also breaks the stigma that arises regarding potential threats to polarization.

Munandar Nugraha expressed his gratitude for the hard work of all stakeholders so that the Jakarta Pilkada can run safely and peacefully.

"Jakarta is a barometer, until 2020 the index of election vulnerability in Jakarta is highest because we reflect on the 2017 Pilkada and 2019 elections, there is a problem," said Munandar during an Institutional Coordination Meeting with Stakeholders' at Manhattan Hotel, Setiabudi, South Jakarta, Wednesday, February 5.

However, the challenges in the 2029 Pilkada will still exist. Munandar asked that the maturity in politics of Jakarta residents be maintained.

"If you let your guard down a little, you can rot because before 2017, the elections and regional elections in Jakarta were safe, but when 2017 there was a slight problem. This means that the 2029 General Election and Regional Head Elections will also have the potential to return to the same problems as there has been," explained Munandar.

In 2029, students will choose at junior high school at this time. For that, continued Munandar, various debriefings need to be provided.

"If so far there has always been an election for an OSIS Chair who may be only ceremonial in nature, we have an opportunity to ensure there are substantial things that we can then socialize below,"

"We have the generation of Jakarta who are aware, literate and understand that different choices are normal, you don't have to make a fuss because they can both understand differences," he continued.

Munandar also expressed his appreciation and gratitude to all parties who took part in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada succession until it went smoothly. Starting from the DKI Provincial Government, the police, the TNI, the prosecutor's office, political parties, community leaders and so on.
