The Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyato said that fraud in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) has attracted the attention of world institutions. The proof is that the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations (UN) criticized the current conditions.

UN Human Rights Committee member Bacre Waly Ndiaye questioned Jokowi's neutrality in his son's candidacy, Gibran Rakabuming Raka in the 2024 presidential election. This moment took place during a hearing to discuss the latest human rights issues in a number of countries in Geneva, Switzerland on March 12.

"What happens will be arrested, including by institutions in the world," Hasto told reporters in Jakarta, Monday, March 18.

Hasto said that Indonesia had ratified its respect for the sovereign rights of the people in the country. So, an attitude must be taken domestically.

"We have ratified the importance of respecting the sovereign rights of the people in the country, so the opinions of the experts are very good as a moral call that we are a country," he said.

Previously reported, Ndiaye questioned the guarantee of political rights for Indonesian citizens (WNI) in the 2024 election. He even mentioned the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) which passed Gibran Rakabuming Raka as a participant in the 2024 presidential election because the rules for the age requirements for the presidential election participants were changed by the Constitutional Court.

The campaign was held after a final-minute verdict that changed the nomination terms, allowing the president's son to participate in nominations, Ndiaye said in a hearing broadcast on the UN Web TV page.

He also questioned what steps should be taken so that state officials are not involved or joked at the once-in-a-five-year democratic party in Indonesia. "What steps are taken to ensure state officials, including the president, cannot have an excessive influence on elections," he said.
