YOGYAKARTA - Governor of the Special Region of Yogyakarta Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X asked the public to avoid blaspheming each other because of different choices in the 2024 General Election.
"Our hope is that the people will not be divided just because they have different candidates and aspirations, especially if they are blasphemous and hostile because they are on different sides and parties," said Sultan HB X after the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding for the Synergy of the 2024 Simultaneous General Elections and Pilkada in Bangsal. Kepatihan, Yogyakarta, reported by ANTARA, Friday, August 19.
According to the Sultan, differences in political perspectives often cause friction in the community, most of which are still oriented towards primordialism towards candidates, not fighting ideas.
A comfortable and safe atmosphere, according to the Sultan, should still be built in the 2024 General Election, like the atmosphere of a big family of the cultured and civilized people of Yogyakarta.
"People want progress and the dignity of the nation, not make the election just a mere power struggle," he said.
The Sultan hopes that the successful team and party masses in the 2024 General Election will avoid intrigue, intimidation, provocation, harassment, hate speech, fake news, identity politics, money politics, and defamation.
"If this pattern is followed, surely the social turmoil that characterizes the election process in DIY can be minimized," said Sultan.
The King of the Yogyakarta Palace advised the KPU and Bawaslu ranks in DIY not to hesitate to ask the local government for help when facing potential violations, disputes, and disputes over the 2024 election results.
"Before it gets out of hand, the KPU or regional Bawaslu should not hesitate to ask for help from the regional government that has a network to remote villages," said Ngarsa Dalem, who is called Sultan HB X.
Meanwhile, KPU Chairman Hasyim Asy'ari said that in order to realize the success of the 2024 Pilkada and Simultaneous General Elections, the KPU could not work alone, so cooperation and collaboration of various parties in the regions was needed.
Hasyim appreciates the commitment of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwana X and regional leaders in local districts and cities to realize the 2024 Simultaneous Elections and Elections that are direct, general, free, confidential, honest, fair, democratic, and with integrity.
