BOGOR - The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) hopes that the momentum of simultaneous regional head elections (Pilkada) in 2024 can increase demand for domestic manufacturing products.
Spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry Febri Hendri Antoni Arif said, based on data from the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri), the budget for the implementation of regional elections in all regencies/cities and provinces of Indonesia reached Rp26 trillion.
With this large budget, Febri hopes that Pilkada organizers can use domestic manufacturing products, such as paper, election ink and several other stationery produced by domestic products.
"We hope that domestic products purchased by the APBD in the implementation of the Pilkada. Likewise for Pilkada participants, we hope to buy domestic products and not imported products," said Febri in the release of IKI August 2024 at the ASTON Sentul Lake Resort & Conference Center, Bogor, West Java, Thursday, August 29.
According to Febri, the 2024 simultaneous regional elections are a momentum for democratic parties for all Indonesian people. Thus, he said, this could be used to build the domestic manufacturing industry.
"We hope that the 2024 Pilkada will truly become a democratic party for the Indonesian people and bring blessings to the domestic manufacturing industry. Do not let the blessings run abroad," explained Febri.
Meanwhile, in terms of the candidate pair for regional head, continued Febri, his party hopes that the goods that will be given to voters are domestic industrial products.
"There are items like that, yes, what is given to voters and we hope that the goods given to voters are domestic industrial products, especially small industries," said Febri.
"Don't let the small industry not get economic blessings from this Pilkada," he added.
As for the General Election Commission (PKPU) Regulation Number 2 of 2024, registration of regional head candidates starts on 27-29 August 2024. Meanwhile, the voting will be held on Wednesday, 27 November 2024.
The simultaneous 2024 Pilkada system is the fifth time it has been held in Indonesia, as well as the first time involving all provinces and regencies/cities in the country.
