JAKARTA - The five-yearly democratic party will be held in 2024. Although there are still two years to go, security anticipations have been prepared from now on. National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit said he had met with the KPU and Bawaslu to discuss security preparations.

"Yesterday we met with colleagues from the KPU and then Bawaslu, we have carried out vigorously which of course is initial coordination and then preparations related to what we need to secure. This includes of course helping the KPU, which is currently carrying out the stages related to administration, " he told reporters at the Fun Bike Semarak Bhayangkara event, Sunday, June 19.

According to Sigit, much has been discussed, especially regarding security and the preparation of police officers to ensure that the 2024 election activities run smoothly and safely.

On this occasion, Sigit also gave a message to prevent polarization. Because, according to him, this can break the unity and integrity.

"Of course we always order that in every place we always socialize what we have to maintain is unity and integrity. Therefore, eliminate things that have an impact on polarization which will certainly divide unity," he said.

According to Sigit, the aim of the 2024 General Election is to find state leaders with good ways and programs. Therefore, things that are divisive in nature and unity must be avoided.

"Because our goal in politics is to find national leaders, of course, we have to do it in good ways, there are positive programs for things like that. We always remind ourselves, including yesterday, friends from youth organizations, which we always encourage to keep the spirit of unity and unity above all interests," he said.
