BOGOR President Prabowo Subianto appealed to the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) to continue to tighten supervision and evaluation in order to prevent potential fraud in the implementation of the 2024 simultaneous Regional Head Election (Pilkada).

This statement was made after Prabowo gave his voting rights at TPS 08, Bojongkoneng Village, Hambalang, Babakan Madang District, Bogor, Wednesday, November 27.

According to Prabowo, this year's simultaneous regional elections show a mature and well organized system. However, he emphasized the importance of increasing supervision so that any shortage can be used as material for improvement.

"Yes, (Bawaslu) already has a good system. This system has been running many times, and I think it is quite mature. However, there must be something good and something missing. Our job is to continue to improve it," Prabowo told reporters.

Prabowo also hopes that the 2024 Pilkada will run smoothly and produce the best leaders for the community. He invited all people to exercise their right to vote with full responsibility. "The elections must run well so that our democracy can progress. Please the people choose according to their conscience," he ordered.

After voting, Prabowo said that he would monitor the quick count results while continuing another state agenda. "I monitored the quick count, but there are still several other events that I have to attend," he added.

As a resident of Bojongkoneng Village, President Prabowo will vote in two choices, namely the election of the Governor and Deputy Governor of West Java, Paslon number 01: Acep Adang Ruhiat-Gitalis Dwi Natarna, number 02: Jeje Wiradinata-Ronal Surapradja, number 03: Ahmad Syaikhu - Ilham Akbar Habibie, and number 04: Dedi Mulyadi - Erwan Setiawan.

In addition, Prabowo will vote for the election of the Regent and Deputy Regent of Bogor, namely Paslon Rudy Susmanto-Ade Ruhandi and Paslon Bayu Syahjohan - Musyafaur Rahman.

Until now, the implementation of the Pilkada at TPS 08 was orderly and safe, with high enthusiasm from the community. Prabowo appreciated this peaceful atmosphere as a reflection of the maturity of democracy in Indonesia.
