CENTRAL PAPUA - The General Election Commission (KPU) has determined Hoya and Alama villages in Mimika Regency, Central Papua, to be vulnerable during the 2024 election.

"At the time in the area of Kampung Alama and Hayo there was an issue of shooting, we felt that special handling was needed from the TNI and Polri officers," said Mimika Regency KPU Chairperson Luther Baenal in Mimika, Tuesday, January 16, which was confiscated by Antara.

According to him, his party confirmed that on the D-7 or seven days before the election, the election logistics had been completely distributed from urban areas to the interior of Mimika.

"If we follow the rules, on D-7 of the election implementation, all logistics must have been distributed. The obstacle is that there are no third parties who will be introductory logistics," he said.

He explained that the third party would be directly elected by the Indonesian KPU, so that his party would continue to coordinate with the hope that logistics would not be too late.

"To find out who won the logistics transportation tender, we cannot convey it because we have not received technical instructions from the Indonesian KPU," he said.

He added that the two vulnerable areas would be distributed using helicopters, but this must continue to be coordinated with the TNI and Polri.

"What is clear is that before it is distributed, we must ensure that the TNI and Polri are ready for security there, for communication we can use cell phones," he said again.
