Chairman of the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) Rahmat Bagja invites if the DPR will issue an inquiry right related to violations of the 2024 General Election (Pemilu).

The proposal for the right of inquiry was submitted by presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo to reveal indications of fraud in the 2024 General Election.

"Yes, go ahead. In the political system mechanism, we cannot judge that. We are not in that framework. Political parties must have their own perspective," said Bagja as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, February 22.

As one of the election organizers, he said the function of Bawaslu was only to follow up on violations in accordance with Law (UU) Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections. In fact, based on the law, Bawaslu has no right to comment on the initiative to apply for the right to inquiry.

"Following up on the violation, yes, but if later this is brought into the mechanism of the House of Representatives, yes, that is the authority of the House of Representatives, not in Bawaslu," he explained.

According to Bagja, currently Bawaslu is focusing on preparing and supervising the vote count recapitulation process.
