According to Saan, the same agreement between the KPU and the government is very important. Because, it will also have an impact on the agreement in the DPR because it is certain that there are different views on the implementation schedule in each faction.

"We don't want a big agenda, a political agenda, a democratic agenda, it starts with the previous prefix, it's not unanimous. Later the nuances are already political," said the NasDem politician. Commission II. We don't want it like that," continued Saan.

Saan said that the House of Representatives Commission II never targeted when the agreement was reached. However, according to him, the sooner the better. Because by doing so, he added, the public will also get certainty about the implementation of the 2024 General Election, which will surely take place.

"That's the answer to speculation that the election was postponed, 2024 is already firm. Second, the public also needs to know about the certainty of the date and month in which the election will be held. This is also of course necessary for early preparations for organizers, parties, all," concluded Saan.
