PKB Agrees With KPU, Simultaneous Elections To Be Held February 21, 2024

JAKARTA - The proposed date for voting for the 2024 Simultaneous Elections has yet to come to an agreement.

In fact, the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) and the Election Organizer in this case the General Elections Commission (KPU) have not been scheduled to hold work meetings and hearings to discuss and decide on the timing of the 2024 General Election.

As is known, the Indonesian KPU proposed that the voting be held on February 21, while the government requested that the 2024 General Election be held on May 15.

Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the DPR from the PKB faction, Luqman Hakim, admitted that he agreed with the proposal of the Indonesian General Elections Commission (KPU) so that the Simultaneous Election voting day be held on February 21, 2024.

"From the start, PKB had the same opinion as PDIP and several other factions, that the 2024 voting day would be more appropriate to be held on February 21, 2024, as proposed by the KPU," said Luqman Hakim when contacted, Wednesday, November 24.

The consideration, he said, is to ensure the right time lag between the General Election and Simultaneous Regional Head Election which will be held in the same year. Mainly, so that the 2024 elections can become a constitutional means for the people to exercise their sovereignty.

"So the PKB considers that the voting for the February 21, 2024 election is very appropriate, considering that in 2024 there will also be Simultaneous Regional Head Elections in November 2024," he concluded.
