JAKARTA - Vice President Ma'ruf Amin said the 2024 General Election should be placed as a process for the birth of transformative leaders. This was conveyed by Vice President Ma'ruf Amin when he was a keynote speaker at the Indonesian National Dialogue event with diaspora from Indonesia, on the sidelines of a working visit, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Tuesday, June 13. "The 2024 General Election and Regional Head Election Process must be placed as a process for the birth of transformative leaders who will manage the process of making state policies, both at the national and regional levels," said the Vice President in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, quoted from Antara. The Vice President said that in 2045 Indonesia would be 100 years old, with the vision of a Golden Indonesia, sovereign, advanced, just, and prosperous. He emphasized that the vision of Indonesia Gold will only be realized, one of which is if Indonesia has a transformative leader, namely a leader who continues to make improvements in a sustainable manner. "Transformative leaders, not only good leaders, but also continue to make improvements. Not only pious leaders but also muslih, or those who make improvements, in order to achieve sustainable transformation," said the Vice President. In addition, according to him, transformative leaders must be able to maintain the national commitment mandated by the nation's founders, namely the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, and Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. The vice president said that there is still a lot of homework to be done and done. In addition to managing an inclusive and sustainable economic transformation, the leaders are expected to be able to bring Indonesia to the vision of Indonesia-centric. The Vice President said that various development re-distribution measures were sought to accelerate the equitable distribution of regional welfare outside Java. "We design areas to grow and develop according to their natural resource potential," he said. He emphasized that developed regions are the foundation for a more inclusive and equitable national economy. Not only in terms of economic justice, but Indonesia-centrically also strengthens a pluralistic Indonesia, both ethnicity, religion, race, social identity, and culture. "I always say, Indonesia is a country 'Darul Mitsaq' or an agreement country. This pluralistic Indonesian society has a collective awareness to establish an Indonesian state," he said.

In that context, he said, the principle of tolerance, anti-violence, national commitment, and accommodation of local culture and the times, is a practice that must always be cared for together.
