The General Elections Supervisory Body of the Republic of Indonesia received a visit from the Research Board of the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia at the Office of the General Elections Supervisory Agency of the Republic of Indonesia, Jalan MH. Thamrin, Jakarta, Thursday (22/09/2022).
This meeting discussed preparations for the 2024 Simultaneous Elections, "Points of State Policy" and the vision and mission of presidential candidates, vice presidential candidates and candidates for regional heads in the 2024 Simultaneous General Elections and Elections.
Rieke Diah Pitaloka, a member of the Review Board of the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia, who led the group, said that this visit was intended to absorb the aspirations of state institutions regarding the "Points of State Policy" and the vision and mission of future leaders.
She emphasized that the vision and mission of the candidate for leadership must be based on the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
"We hope that there will be meaningful input. Some say that the vision and mission must be different, not the same. But actually if we live up to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, the vision and mission is that if we are in the form of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, the vision is the same, the mission is the same but the implementation of the vision and mission is or different technocratic," said Rieke.
Chairman of the General Elections Supervisory Agency of the Republic of Indonesia, Rahmat Bagja, emphasized that the vision and mission of the prospective leaders must be in accordance with or remain with the state's direction.
Regarding the substance of "Points of State Policy", the General Election Oversight Body of the Republic of Indonesia proposes to strengthen the target of democratic consolidation based on Pancasila and the Indonesian Constitution - the 1945 Constitution. Then improve the quality of the electoral system to realize democratic consolidation.
"Of course, strengthening the role of election management institutions to ensure the quality of election administration, including strengthening the electoral justice system and strengthening the role of the General Elections Supervisory Agency in preventing and taking action against money politics as an election organizer and an element of national defense," said Bagja.
Furthermore, related to the vision and mission, according to him, the vision and mission must remain with the direction of the state.
Meanwhile, the interpretation of the vision and mission takes the form of a work program that is laughed at during the campaign.
"If you want to draw it in the national vision and mission, it should be a work program or interpretation of the vision and mission in the campaign. So the General Election Commission of the Republic of Indonesia can regulate the vision and mission set out in the opening and state policy programs. Interpretation of the vision, mission or program towards the vision is what is offered during the campaign period. So the program is not the vision and mission, "explained the alumnus of the University of Indonesia.
For information, the discussion which lasted for two hours was attended by the leadership of the General Elections Supervisory Agency, fully present; Lolly Suhenty, Puadi, Herwyn JH Malonda, Puadi, and the Secretary General of Bawaslu Gunawan Suswantoro.
