BOGOR The election for the Mayor (Pilwakot) of Bogor 2024 is only a matter of days. The candidate pair (Paslon) Atang Trisnanto and Annida Allivia invite young people to be active in the current political contestation and at the same time remind the state civil apparatus (ASN) to maintain neutrality during the election process.

On November 27, the Bogor Pilwalkot will be held simultaneously at 1,530 polling stations in 6 sub-districts. Deputy Mayor Annida Allivia's candidate calls on all the younger generation of Bogor to take advantage of their voting rights.

"As the next generation, we have a big responsibility to ensure that the elected leader brings positive changes to Bogor. Don't waste the opportunity to determine the direction of our city's development," said Annida, Thursday, November 21.

According to him, the role of young people is often considered small, even though their voices are very influential.

"We can bring important issues such as education, technology, and the environment to priority. However, it is only possible if we actively choose and get involved," he added.

Annida emphasized that novice voters are one of the largest segments in the 2024 Pilwakot. He also appealed to the younger generation not to be influenced by the circulating golput or hoaxes.

You are agents of change. Let's show that young people in Bogor have a voice and care. Don't forget to check your name on the permanent voter list, learn the vision and mission of the candidate, and choose with conscience," he said excitedly.

In addition, Anrida encourages youth communities and organizations to hold discussions, creative campaigns, and socialization in order to increase youth participation.

A big change started from a small step. Come to the TPS and use your voting rights. That's the first step to build a better Bogor! "he exclaimed.

He concluded with a passionate invitation: "What are you waiting for?" Come on, young Bogor, show your concern and become part of the history of the 2024 Bogor Pilwalkot

Meanwhile, the candidate for Mayor of Bogor, Atang Trisnanto, emphasized the importance of ASN neutrality in maintaining the success of the 2024 Bogor Pilwalkot. He revealed, based on Bawaslu data from West Java, violations of ASN neutrality dominated out of a total of 131 Pilkada violations in various regions.

"The neutrality of ASN is the key to ensuring the Pilwakot runs honestly, fairly and democratically," said Atang.

He emphasized that ASN must stand in the middle, not directly or indirectly sided with one of the candidates. This, according to him, is important to maintain public trust in the implementation of elections.

"ASN are public servants, not political tools. Their role must remain focused on public services without political intervention," he stressed.

Atang also reminded ASN to comply with legal rules such as Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning ASN and Government Regulation Number 53 of 2010 concerning Civil Servant Discipline. He encouraged the Bogor City Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) to be more stringent in monitoring potential violations.

In closing, Atang invites the public to participate in supervising the neutrality of ASN during the Pilwakot process.

"Community participation is very important. Report if you find a violation, but still include valid evidence. Together, we create an honest, fair, and dignified Pilwakot," he said.

With the neutrality of ASN being maintained, it is hoped that the 2024 Bogor Pilwalkot can take place safely, peacefully, and produce a leader who is truly the people's choice.
