JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Golongan Karya Party DPP, Nurul Arifin, stated that the attitude of eight parliamentary political parties that reject closed proportional systems is not a political party or just a "hore-hore". "We are not having political parties, the word "hore-hore" is not correct, yes, we are not euphoric in facing this one challenge," said Nurul, to reporters after a discussion entitled "Capres 2024 and Its Cita-Cita for Indonesia" in Jakarta, Saturday, January 14. According to him, the attitude of the eight political parties is a form of seriousness. He also expressed his concern because the public does not care about the issue. "Yes, it is (serious) because this is not only a matter of the party but also a matter of the participation of its people. I feel concerned because the public does not feel wary of this issue," he said. If the system is closed, he continued, the public will not know who the candidates for legislative members are so that the programs offered cannot be known as well." In fact, this involves their voices, if the system is closed, they don't know who the candidates are, but if they are open like this, at least all candidates can go down and the public can get political education directly," he said.

He gave an example of the public, it is possible to complain to the legislative candidate if you are not committed to the programs offered. "The program can be asked, then the commitment can be questioned, he can at least know who to choose from. In other words, if I choose you, then you are not committed, I can complain or even not choose again. If now the system changes, it can no longer be like that," he said. Previously, the chairman of the PDI-P DPP, Bambang Wuryanto, said that the statement of the attitude of eight parliamentary political parties that reject the proportional closed electoral system was merely a "hore-hore" or just to enliven the atmosphere. This is an ordinary discourse. Regarding the rejection, please. The decision-making is nine judges of the Constitutional Court. If this (a statement of the eight political parties) is only for 'home-hore', said the man who is familiarly called Bambang Pacul at the Senayan Parliament Complex Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 11.
