JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Gerindra Party's Board of Trustees Desmond Junaidi Mahesa responded to the proposal of PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri so that the number of political parties in the 2024 General Election would continue to use the same number as the 2019 General Election. Desmond joked with the proposal maybe based on consultation with smart people. "Mrs. Mega is of the opinion, maybe the result of consultation with a shaman. Because number two is good, yes. He conveyed it according to the shaman's message, right," said Desmond at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, September 20.
Desmond also admitted that he would also ask his'medkun' the same thing. Whether, Gerindra needs to change numbers or continue to use the old number.
"I also want to ask the shaman. Is the previous Gerindra number good or not. Hahaha. Mrs. mega is in accordance with the shaman, Gerindra also consults with her shaman," said Desmond. So, who is the'master' of the Gerindra Party? Desmond called God Almighty.
"Allah SWT," he said.
According to Desmond, there is something wrong with the cassation regarding budget savings if the party number which is usually found in the election props is not changed.
The reason is that the changes to the party number along with the budget have been regulated in the General Election Commission Regulation (PKPU) Number 3 of 2022 concerning the Stages and Schedule of the Implementation of General Elections in 2024. The decision has been agreed upon by the government, the DPR and election organizers.
"The question is saving the budget from what political party? The budget is already there. It's just a matter of processing it in Commission II," said Desmond. Regarding the draw number serial, Desmond said it would be better to wait for the government's decision to make clear what the rules are.
"We'll see. It's not clear what the government's decision will be. Just interview the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, what do we want the government to discuss later. Is it in accordance with serial numbers or draw again," he concluded.
