He said that when going to the field, officers received many answers from samples of members they met that they did not have a membership card and did not know they were members of a political party. "Regarding this problem, the status will not meet the requirements. However, according to schedule there will be a period of improvement on November 10 to 13, 2022," he said.

To date, 1,200 people have been verified or around 70 percent, we are targeting that tomorrow Friday (28/10) can be achieved," he hoped. He mentioned that during factual verification in the field, the obstacles encountered were weather factors, locations that were far away and had difficulty meeting the intended members of the political parties. Weighing this, Adri said officers were maximally looking for, meeting and asking jorong, wali nagari or other community leaders, but still could not be found, the KPU would make an official report by involving witnesses. After that, the political party concerned will be asked to present the member who cannot be found at the political party secretariat office.
