JAKARTA - A few days ago, seven Commissioners of the General Elections Commission (KPU) and five Commissioners of the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) were elected to meet Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin) at the Nusantara III Building, Parliament Complex Senayan, Jakarta.
The meeting gave rise to various speculations, including being related to the proposed postponement of the 2024 General Election by Cak Imin.
Political communication observer at Esa Unggul University, Jamiluddin Ritonga, assessed that Cak Imin's meeting with 7 KPU commissioners and 5 Bawaslu members from 2022 to 2027 was suspect.
The reason is, Cak Imin is one of the motors who want the election to be postponed. It is feared that the PKB general chairman has a mission to influence the KPU and Bawaslu to participate in postponing the election.
"As a party supporting the government, Cak Imin also has the ability to pressure the KPU and Bawaslu. One of them is to suppress the budget requested by the KPU and Bawaslu so that the 2024 election is not possible," said Jamiluddin in Jakarta, Monday, March 14. In addition, according to him, it is very unethical and unusual for the general chairman of the party to meet KPU commissioners and Bawaslu members. This is because problems related to the KPU and Bawaslu should be resolved in Commission II of the DPR RI.
