JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the DPR RI, Luqman Hakim, stated that the stages of the 2024 Simultaneous General Election (Pemilu) must be prepared and discussed further. This is in line with President Joko Widodo's order which forbids ministers in his cabinet to no longer talk about the postponement of the 2024 election and the extension of the president's term of office.
"One of the important jobs that must be prepared immediately is to complete the discussion of the stages and schedule of the 2024 election between the KPU, Ministry of Home Affairs, DPR, Bawaslu and DKPP," Luqman told reporters, Thursday, April 7. With Jokowi's confirmation, the PKB politician said, the DPR and the government must immediately determine the stages of the 2024 General Election. In particular, the budget issue has not yet been decided.
"As soon as possible, ensure that there is an adequate APBN budget allocation for the implementation of the 2024 election stage, which should start in June 2022," said Luqman. Previously, Luqman Hakim also commented on President Jokowi's request to prohibit ministers from voicing the discourse of postponing the election and extending the presidential term. He hoped that the order could completely bury the two issues which later became polemic.
"Hopefully President Jokowi's order will be the tombstone of the discourse on postponing the election, extending the presidential term in 2027 and the president for three terms," Luqman told reporters, Wednesday, April 6.
