Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Sugiono, emphasized that in due course Prabowo Subianto, who is also the chairman of the Advisory Council, would give an official opinion regarding the discourse on postponing the election.
"Considering that this issue is still an issue circulating outside the formal channels, both in the executive and legislative branches," said Sugiono, to reporters, Wednesday, March 2.
Sugiono ensured that the Gerindra Party would always comply with constitutional provisions and principles. He emphasized that the 1945 Constitution mandates that elections be held in a LUBER and JURDIL manner every five years.
"And that is a clear order from our constitution," said Sugiono.
According to him, Indonesia, which incidentally is a democratic country, should have heeded the constitution. One of the manifestations of democracy, he said, is holding regular and periodic general elections.
"In general, the people's response also shows a desire for the election to be held according to the time set in 2024," he said.
Moreover, said Sugiono, the government together with the DPR and KPU have also agreed that the date for the election will be set for February 14, 2024.
