JAKARTA — The 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections have successfully recorded history as one of the biggest democratic celebrations that was carried out safely and conducively.
This success is a real result of the hard work of security forces who have collaborated with various parties, from organizers to the community.
The Head of the Jakarta Special Region KPU, Wahyu Dinata, appreciated the performance of the National Police, especially the ranks of the Polda Metro Jaya, who succeeded in maintaining security stability during the stages of the democratic party taking place in Jakarta.
“We, all ranks of the Jakarta KPU, express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to the National Police for maintaining security stability in a political year, so that this people’s party can be held safely and conducively,” said Wahyu.
He added that, although there were concerns regarding the potential for vulnerability in the Jakarta area, mitigation efforts by the ranks of the Polda Metro Jaya were able to create a safe and controlled atmosphere.
Wahyu also said that this achievement was proof of the professionalism of the Police in carrying out their duties as protectors of the community.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Technical Division of the Jakarta KPU, Dody Wijaya, highlighted the importance of close cooperation between the KPU and the Police.
This is in order to ensure the smooth running of the regional elections in Jakarta, which is included in the five vulnerable areas based on the Election and Regional Election Vulnerability Index (IPKP).
“Thanks to the coordination and collaboration of the Jakarta KPU with the National Police, the Pilkada was successfully implemented with Zero Revotes (Zero PSU) and No Disputes Over Election Results,” said Dody.
The Chairman of Bawaslu RI, Rahmat Bagja, also appreciated the contribution of security forces in overseeing the implementation of the 2024 Simultaneous Election and Regional Elections.
Bagja explained that this regional election had a different and complex implementation scheme, but was still successfully implemented.
“Initially we thought it would be very difficult to happen, difficult to implement, but thank God it can be implemented,” he said.
Bagja also highlighted the role of the Gakkumdu center formed together with the National Police in ensuring that the law enforcement process runs effectively during the implementation of the Pilkada.
He emphasized that close collaboration between ministries, institutions, and security forces is the key to the success of the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections, despite facing challenges as the largest democratic archipelagic country in the world.
This success not only reflects the professionalism of the security forces, but also serves as real evidence of a shared commitment to maintaining democratic stability in the country.
