JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the PKS Syuro Council, Hidayat Nur Wahid, welcomed the position of the General Chair of the Gerindra Party, Prabowo Subianto, who rejected the proposal to postpone the 2024 General Election. Prabowo has added to the strength of the party that rejected the discourse in Senayan. At least, 5 general party leaders refused, namely from PKS, PDIP, Democrats, NasDem, and Gerindra.

"Five party leaders in the DPR (House of Representatives) have expressed their respect for the constitution or refused to postpone the election", said Hidayat, Wednesday, March 2.

Therefore, the Deputy Chairperson of the People's Consultative Assembly requested that the proposed postponement of the election be no longer discussed because it no longer made sense. Hidayat also invited all parties so that political focus is directed at ways to create quality elections.

"So it makes more sense to withdraw the proposal, and to focus on preparing for quality elections", he said.

Previously, the General Chair of the Gerindra Party, Prabowo Subianto, rejected the discourse of delaying the 2024 General Election which is currently in the spotlight.

Through his spokesman, Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak, Prabowo said this step was a form of respecting the constitution and maintaining a healthy democracy in the country.

"Regarding the discourse on postponing the 2024 General Election, Prabowo Subianto stated that he respects our constitution and wants to continue to maintain our constitution and maintain a healthy democracy", Dahnil said in a video statement to reporters, Tuesday, March 1.

Prabowo is currently continuing to communicate with various parties to discuss the discourse on postponing this election. Dahnil said this step was carried out with various figures.

"Pak Prabowo also continues to communicate and stay in touch with other political figures from both political parties and other figures", he said.
