THE ORGANIZATION OF THE 2024 Normal Election (Pemilu) was broadly criticized by election monitoring establishments. In its implementation, the 2024 election has many information and is taken into account the worst election in post-reform historical past.
Indonesian Civil Circle Coordinator Ray Rangkuti warned that if the political practices of social help (bansos), cash politics and the huge mobilization of state equipment have been repeated within the 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada), then this might grow to be an entry level for political dynasties and nepotism changing into more and more rampant.
“Why is it changing into extra widespread? As a result of legally, it’s acknowledged that it’s allowed. Or it can’t be confirmed from yesterday’s determination of the Constitutional Court docket (MK). Bawaslu additionally stated so. “What’s worse than simply permissible by regulation, our society says additionally it is permissible so long as the individual involved is elected,” stated Ray within the dialogue “The Presidential Election is Unhealthy, Will it Proceed within the Regional Election?” in Jakarta, Friday (21/6).
“The Constitutional Court docket additionally stated that there is no such thing as a such factor as nepotism if the individual is elected by the group straight. What does it imply? “We’re opening the door as vast as doable for the emergence of nepotism or political dynasties,” he added.
Based on Ray, that is not simply an assumption. If we have a look at the present situations, particularly from the regional head candidates who’re rumored to be working within the regional election contestation, it may be traced that all of them come from the households of the incumbents.
“Test in your space, district, municipality, in your province, if A is working, you can find out that it’s B’s little one, B’s spouse or B’s husband, B’s nephew, B’s son-in-law. Those that are there will likely be political plots. This has been plotted by the dynasty. Who’s in Jakarta? Who owns it in West Java, whose Central Java, whose East Java? Who in North Sumatra? “It has been plotted,” stated Ray.
If the overall election pattern continues just like the 2024 common election held yesterday, the regional elections will do nothing greater than trigger sure households to proceed to function officers in sure areas.
“It isn’t a brand new story. There’s one space, for 20 years just one household has held it. Initially his spouse had 2 phrases, changed by her husband for two phrases, 10 years. Now his son desires to return in once more. Will likely be 25 years. It is only one household. Then we are saying nepotism is authorized? It’s allowed? If regional elections and common elections are made to legalize nepotism, sure, I do not know whether or not we’d like this election? Is it crucial for us to have regional elections?” he concluded.
