JAKARTA - Member of the General Elections Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) Lolly Suhenti asked the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo so that members of the National Police who are members of the Integrated Law Enforcement Center (Gakkumdu) are not burdened with other tasks.

"This is so that we can focus more on carrying out our duties, given that there is a time limit for handling violations," said Lolly during the Bawaslu hearing with the National Police Chief at the National Police Headquarters, as reported by ANTARA, Friday, July 15.

Lolly stated that his party wanted to ensure the security of the entire 2024 General Election, including when expressing aspirations through demonstrations due to dissatisfaction with the election results.

In the context of prevention, he said, this election management body sees the National Police as playing an important role in suppressing massive disinformation through rapid action on cyber crimes.

The Coordinator of the Prevention, Community Participation and Public Relations Division of Bawaslu said that both parties agreed to build cooperation for election law enforcement through strengthening the Gakkumdu Center.

"We are working together to tackle cyber crimes quickly. In addition, we also ensure supervision of the neutrality of the Police," said Lolly.

Lolly said that representatives of the two state agencies would soon sign a cooperation agreement to serve as a reference for cooperation with the police to the provincial and district/city levels.

"The National Police Chief responded well to Bawaslu's proposal by directly connecting with the relevant departments, then encouraging further technical discussions," Lolly explained.

The meeting was attended by the Chairperson of Bawaslu Rahmat Bagja and three other members: Puadi, Herwyn Jefler Hielsa Malonda, and Totok Hariyono. Meanwhile, from the National Police, it was attended by Kabaintelkam, Kabareskrim, Assistant Chief of Police, Head of Public Relations Division, and Head of Police ICT Division.
