“KPI and KPID can provide education on the implementation and progress of the elections through good, positive, and neutral broadcasts. This is important to protect the public from fake news (hoaxes),” said Ma’ruf, as quoted by Antara, Tuesday, June 25, 2024 .

Usep explained that independent candidates actually emerge as a critique of the party system mandated to recruit candidates in regional elections. However, some believe the party system remains undemocratic, leading to challenges in the Constitutional Court (MK), which were successful. “In practice, many independent candidates fail in terms of electability. Furthermore, independent candidates lack party support in parliament, which is crucial for implementing various programs,” Usep stated. Usep added that independent candidates must be financially robust and well-networked, besides competing against party candidates with party machinery. “Party-nominated candidates are usually one step ahead because of the party machinery supporting them. Unless an independent candidate is highly popular and well-connected, it is difficult,” he remarked.

According to Doli, from the beginning, Sirekap has been a concern for Commission II DPR RI. It was even initially not recommended for use in the 2024 Election. “In the early stages of discussing the Election, friends recommended not using Sirekap, but suddenly Sirekap appeared from the KPU. So let’s discuss it later and not say it will be used now,” Doli explained.

According to him, transparency is one of the principles of election or regional election implementation. Therefore, the KPU must design to actualize this principle. “Previously, Sirekap was designed to publish the photo of the C Result form. So, we have an obligation to publish the vote results starting from the polling station level,” he explained.

According to Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Chairman of the Daily Board of the Gerindra Party, this idea is viewed by his faction as only an aspiration. “Yes, the current situation is merely a discussion in the media, and we consider it only an aspiration and it has not reached the level of party discussions within the Advanced Indonesia Coalition,” said Dasco at Rumah Kertanegara, South Jakarta, on Friday, (June 7, 2024). Meanwhile, Kaesang stated that the decision regarding his candidacy for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada will be decided in August. “As I stated before, wait for the surprise in August,” remarked Kaesang at the PSI Office in Jakarta, on Friday (June 7, 2024). He indicated that there will be a surprise about whether he will run in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The youngest son of President Jokowi requested everyone to wait patiently as the registration for the pairs for governor and deputy governor through political parties will start from August 27 to August 29, 2024. “The registration is still a long way off, it’s still in August, at the end of August. Be patient,” he said, as quoted by Antara. Previously, on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Chairman of the Daily Board of the Gerindra Party, posted a photo of Budisatrio Djiwandono alongside Kaesang Pangarep on his personal Instagram account @sufmi_dasco, with the caption “For Jakarta 2024.” In addition to pairing Budisatrio with Kaesang, Dasco also posted a photo of Budisatrio with public figure Raffi Ahmad in the style of a duo election poster on his personal Instagram. On Thursday, April 18, 2024, Ahmad Muzani, the Secretary-General of the Gerindra Party, stated that the figure being prepared for the Jakarta Pilkada is still under consideration. The Gerindra Party has several young candidates, including Budisatrio Djiwandono and Moreno Soeprapto. “We have a strong contender, preferably a fresh and young figure,” he mentioned at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta. Alleged Prohibition by Jokowi, Kaesang Pangarep: That’s Zulhas’s Version of the Story The Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Kaesang Pangarep, also addressed the claim that he was forbidden by President Jokowi from running in the Jakarta Pilkada. As per Kaesang, that story belongs to the Head of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, alias Zulhas. “That’s Zulhas’s version of the story,” he said. He then threw the question back to the media. “So, have you listened to my side of the story yet?” questioned Kaesang. Upon receiving this, several journalists requested him to explain, but Kaesang chose to keep it to himself. “It’s a confidential,” said Kaesang before leaving. Previously, Head of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, stated that President Jokowi forbade his youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep, from running for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. “Earlier, I inquired the President after the meeting. ‘Sir, what about Kaesang running for Jakarta deputy governor?’ ‘Oh no,’ he said, ‘Don’t do it, Mr. Zul,'” Zulkifli Hasan said at the PAN DPP, South Jakarta, on Monday, (June 3, 2024). Zulkifli Hasan previously proposed that Kaesang pair up with Zita Anjani in the Jakarta Pilkada because he desired Jakarta to be led by young people. “Kaesang is young, I even suggested it before, ‘Sir, I suggested it a year ago, what if Jakarta is led by young people, Kaesang.’ That was about a year ago, if I’m not mistaken,” he said. Although the Supreme Court (MA) has altered the age limit for regional head candidates, providing Kaesang the chance to run for the Jakarta gubernatorial election, Jokowi still prohibited it. “‘Now it’s permissible, Sir.’ I said earlier, yes, then who was the one who filed the lawsuit, right. Now it’s allowed, it was legally contested. ‘Don’t do it, Mr. Zul,’ that’s about it,” he concluded. PSI Secretary-General Says No Internal Discussion Yet About Kaesang Running for 2024 Pilkada The Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Kaesang Pangarep, is a potential to run as a gubernatorial candidate after the Supreme Court (MA) issued a regulation regarding the age of regional head candidates. However, there has been no confirmation from Kaesang on whether he will run for regional head. Kaesang has been rumored to participate in the Jakarta gubernatorial election after his poster was posted alongside Gerindra politician and Prabowo’s nephew, Budi Djiwandono. The Secretary-General of PSI, Raja Juli Antoni, stated that there hasn’t been any internal discussion regarding the youngest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) running in the 2024 Pilkada. “No (internal discussion yet),” said Antoni at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, on Monday (June 3, 2024). Antoni stated that whether Kaesang will run this year depends on Kaesang himself. Furthermore, the coalition parties of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) need to deliberate whether it is advantageous for Kaesang to run in the Pilkada or not. “Ask Mas Kaesang,” he mentioned. “It depends on Mas Kaesang and KIM what’s best,” added Antoni. **2024 Pilkada Schedule** Here is the schedule for the 2024 Pilkada stages: 1.
