ILLUSTRA TION BY VOI

JAKARTA - The National Awakening Party (PKB) has no problem with the General Election Commission's (KPU) assertion that it remains committed to holding the 2024 General Election. As the party proposing the postponement of the election, PKB believes that the KPU's decision does not contradict the discourse initiated by its General Chair, Muhaimin Iskandar.

Chairman of the PKB, Daniel Johan, said that so far the PKB had only made suggestions regarding the postponement of the election. Therefore, he said, as long as there is no decision regarding the postponement, the general election will still be held on February 14, 2024.

"The postponement is just a proposal, not a decision yet", Daniel told reporters, Tuesday, March 22.

According to him, the KPU's stance that remains committed to holding elections in 2024 is correct. Therefore, it is the KPU's obligation as the election organizer.

"So there must be a distinction between proposals and obligations", said Daniel.

PKB continued, Daniel continued to carry out constitutional decisions as long as there was no newer decision.

"Whatever the decision, it must be by the constitution", he concluded.

Previously, the KPU for the 2017-2022 period emphasized that it remained committed to holding the 2024 General Election by the existing constitution and regulations.

"The KPU will work to make the 2024 election a success", said KPU chairman Ilham Saputra to reporters at the KPU office, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, March 22.
