The General Election Commission (KPU) urges the Indonesian public to participate in selecting leaders for the next five years through the 2024 simultaneous Regional Head Elections (Pilkada).

Previously, KPU RI member Idham Holik said that the use of Sirekap in the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections aims for public transparency. “We will use Sirekap, and the legal considerations from the Constitutional Court’s recent ruling will guide our evaluation and improvement of Sirekap for the regional elections on November 27, 2024,” said Idham when met by the media at the KPU RI Office in Jakarta on Tuesday, April 23, 2024.

“It could be (Bambang Pacul), maybe (Ahmad Luthfi),” she stated to reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday. However, Puan was reluctant to mention the name that PDIP will endorse. She noted that the current names, including Bambang Pacul and Ahmad Luthfi, are very interesting. “All the names that are emerging are being considered, all are interesting,” she said.

**PKS Officially Nominates Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada** Previously, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) officially nominated Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Imam as the prospective governor (cagub) and deputy governor (cawagub) candidates to run in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. This was announced by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School titled ‘Continuing to Defend the People’ at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday.

KPU RI Chairman Hasyim Asy’ari said that the Information Recapitulation System (Sirekap), claimed to be a vote counting aid during the 2024 Election, will be used again for the 2024 Regional Elections. Since the election and regional election models differ, a new design is being developed. “Sirekap is planned to be used for the 2024 Regional Elections because it was first used in the 2020 Regional Elections. The design and other aspects are being prepared,” said Hasyim at the DPR RI, quoted on Thursday (16/5/2024).

As a party that secured 10 seats in the 2019 vote and an additional seat in the 2024 vote, PKS has a solid base and can nominate a single pair of candidates for the mayoral office. Additionally, the PKS Bogor DPD Chairman, Atang Trisnanto, has been proposed as a candidate for mayor in the 2024 regional election. “Of course, PKS has the means and powerful stance to choose the candidate for the mayoral office. Just wait, we are expecting guidance from the DPP. (Regarding my name being mentioned), yes, it has appeared, thank you for the support. We are certainly waiting for direction from the DPP. Whatever the entrusted task, we are ready, I must be ready,” said Atang on Sunday.

Previously, Bambang Pacul mentioned that his party is still finalizing the nominations for the 2024 Central Java Pilgub. Pacul emphasized that PDIP is open to any prominent figures, including Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi. “It is still in discussion and under survey, and we will report the decision to the central committee,” Bambang Pacul stated in response to whether the Central Java PDIP has shortlisted Ahmad Luthfi’s name at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 20, 2024. Pacul mentioned that the names of prominent figures emerging from various survey results will be proposed to the PDIP Central Executive Board (DPP). He left the decision on the Central Java Pilkada nominations to PDIP Chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri. “The decision is at the central level, but we will submit the data and survey results,” Pacul stated in response to questions about Ahmad Luthfi being considered by PDIP in Central Java. “The final decision in Central Java is in the hands of the Chairwoman. If PDIP doesn’t nominate, it’s impossible. We will definitely nominate someone. Which one, we don’t know yet,” he added.

Based on General Election Commission Regulation Number 8 of 2022 on the Formation and Working Procedures of Adhoc Election Organizers for the Election of Governors and Deputy Governors, Regents and Deputy Regents, and Mayors and Deputy Mayors, PPS is a committee formed by the Regency/City KPU to conduct elections at the village/sub-district level or other names.

Despite this, Doli still allowed the KPU to design Sirekap for the 2024 Regional Elections. However, whether it will be used or not, Commission II will give its view. This is in light of the commotion caused by Sirekap during the 2024 Election. “Feel free to prepare it, we will see. Don’t let it cause confusion and commotion like last time. Due to it, there were celebrations that didn’t happen. So, whether it will be used or not, it must be evaluated,” Doli said.

**Response from Central Java Police Chief Ahmad Luthfi** Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi’s name is gaining traction to run in the 2024 Central Java Pilkada. He responded to this matter. “I am still on duty. If it is the people’s aspiration and the people assess it, but for now, I am still on duty carrying out official activities,” Luthfi said at The Tribrata, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, on June 24, 2024. So far, he has not communicated with any political party about the Central Java Pilkada. “Not yet, not yet (no communication),” he stated. However, he is ready to relinquish his position if nominated as a gubernatorial candidate by a political party. “Yes, of course (I will resign if nominated),” he stated. He has not yet decided to resign from the police force in the near future. Luthfi mentioned that he is still monitoring the situation going forward. “We will see the situation,” he stated.
