JAKARTA - Head of the Organizational, Cadreization and Membership Development Agency (BPOKK) of the Democratic Party DPP, Herman Khaeron, talked about the national political dynamics ahead of the 2024 general election (Pemilu). Among them were related to the polemic of an open or closed proportional system and the issue of election postponement. Herman emphasized that the Democratic Party remains guided by the constitution that elections are held once every 5 years. Even if there is a disproportionate process, according to him, it is because the decision in the district court (PN) is wrong because it is not the 'room'. Because the case has been sued in the PTUN and lost, while in the Constitutional Court (MK) it has been established. "Proportionally open or closed, looking at the history, first one of the PDIP cadres who sued for it to be held proportional to open. (Currently) Out of 9 factions, 8 factions set it open, the Ministry of Home Affairs has also conveyed in their opinion to be carried out also in an open manner, (if) it is ultimately deviated, yes disproportionate," said Herman Khaeron in a Trijaya Polemic Discussion entitled 'The dynamics of the Politics of Jelang 2024' online, Saturday, March 11. "But all of them we leave it to the government in the end, because it is the state that is able to control the election on time or there is dynamics," he continued. According to Herman, all the stages of the election that proceeds not as well as can be decided by three PN judges such as the Prima Party's lawsuit. "As the head of the BPOKK Democrats also legitimize the level up to the branches. If it is later broken so that (the election) must resign, I think this is not fair and the mindset of anyone should be tuned, mindset of power, where the people are directly involved in this democratic process, let's take care of it," he said.

Herman said he was happy if the battle in the election was a battle over ideas and ideas. He considered, let the young people today appear as candidates for leaders not to be considered as a substitute for power alone. "I think this is the nation's best son, don't think that this young man will replace power, I'm sure it will be better. This young man has performed now. Anies has appeared as a presidential candidate, Mr. AHY is also predicted to be the vice presidential candidate, hopefully Allah will give a way to both of them," said Herman. "(PKB) also carries Cak Imin, Gerindra carries Mr. Prabowo. We control the democratic process, debate ideas so that people are presented with truly constitutional menus, menus that do not make political noise. Because the situation that continues to be noisy, young people are increasingly aptical, increasingly dislikes politics," he stressed. "If this continues to be disturbed by an disproportionate constitutional political process, it will certainly be a reluctance for 60 percent of young voters. In time, if it is not replaced by an electoral system (power, ed) replaced by the Almighty," said Herman.
