Presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo ensures the construction of the Nusantara State Capital (IKN) in Sepaku, North Penajam Paser Regency, East Kalimantan continues if it wins the 2024 Presidential Election contestation (Pilpres).

"All laws that have been knocked, especially since it has become a law, it is mandatory for all officials to implement it," said Ganjar after the National Coordination Meeting of the Gakkumdu Center in Jakarta, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, November 27.

According to him, the Draft Law on the State Capital (RUU IKN) has been ratified and promulgated into Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning the State Capital (UU IKN) on February 15, 2022.

Therefore, all state administrators, continued Ganjar, must obey and implement these rules, of course, the regulation has also gone through a study for the public interest.

The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has openly made the refusal to move the nation's capital to IKN Nusantara, East Kalimantan as a campaign for the 2024 General Election.

In the Kick off National Campaign, PKS launched the Idea Campaign Program entitled Jakarta is still the National Capital.

PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu said PKS from the start rejected the relocation of the State Capital. The refusal attitude, said Syaikhu, was based on hearing the aspirations of academics and the majority of public votes.

"One of the PKS' track records in Parliament is the most crucial for the nation's future, and will be one of the main ideas that PKS will fight for in the 2024 election is the issue of the transfer of the State Capital (IKN). The government proposed the IKN Bill, moving the State Capital from DKI Jakarta to East Kalimantan," said Syaikhu, Sunday, November 26.

"What is the attitude of PKS? After listening to the aspirations of community leaders, experts, academics, environmental activists, and the majority of public votes, PKS took a stand to reject the ratification of the IKN Bill. PKS views that Jakarta remains worthy as the nation's capital," he continued.
