JAKARTA - Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo) Johnny G. Plate said President Jokowi had made it clear that there would be no more discussion about delaying the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) or extending the term of office of the president.
"The president has clearly said that it is constitutional, following our constitution. There is no need to talk about extending the presidential term or postponing elections," he said, quoted by Antara, Sunday 10 April.
According to him, the President delivered this confirmation at the Plenary Cabinet Session which was attended by the ministers. However, after that, the same thing was conveyed through digital means to the public.
If it has been submitted to the public, according to him, it will automatically be addressed to political parties.
Currently, he continued, all parties must focus on the national agenda and other national issues. The public already knows about the schedule for the legislative and presidential elections on February 14, 2024.
Election organizers, namely the General Elections Commission (KPU), Bawaslu, the Election Organizing Honorary Council (DKPP), and related agencies are working to prepare quality elections, he said.
"In order to improve our democracy and the circulation of power that can be done well," he said.
In fact, he said, the elected KPU commissioners or members will be inaugurated by President Jokowi soon. Thus, the process of the 2024 General Election and Presidential Election on the national agenda will run well. Therefore, he asked that there is no need for excessive creativity.
"It can actually disperse or confuse the public," he said.
