MALUKU - The General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) suggested that all candidates for the Maluku Province Regional Representative Council (DPD) have winding or companion staff.

Moreover, for the six prospective members of the Maluku representative DPD who have not met the requirements for factual verification of support phase one, so according to him, having a partner can make it easier for officers to stop visiting one by one the supports of each prospective DPD candidate.

According to him, there is no prohibition in regulations for a candidate for DPD candidates to have naradamping, but in fact with the relationship between the Liaison officer (LO) and the election organizers, the stages will run optimally.

"We also love that the DPD candidates do not meet the requirements just because they do not have a partner. That's why we always urge them," he said.

He also hopes that the KPU will continue to ensure that all stages of the 2024 General Election can run according to the applicable time and legislation.

"So that there are no more obstacles in the future. That's why we always ask the KPU in stages to make sure of that," he said.
