Budiman, a political observer from Mulawarman University (Unmul), stated that candidates running in the East Kalimantan Regional Election must be transparent. «Prospective regents in the East Kalimantan Regional Election must be transparent and free from money politics,» he said.

Typically, the Pilkada is conducted in two phases, namely the local elections and the dispute route at the Constitutional Court (MK). «Usually, if the Pilkada is held twice, it means what? It means initially held locally, secondly at the MK,» stated Hadi while giving guidance in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on June 26th. «That’s why the TNI-Polri must be cautious about safeguarding during the actual Pilkada and during the MK sessions, ensuring the readiness of the TNI-Polri forces to secure the regions,» he continued. Hadi hopes the 2024 Pilkada stages will run without problems and safely without any obstacles in their implementation. Additionally, post-Pilkada safety should also be ensured. Hadi added that political and legal stability is crucial. He believes, the state and condition of Polhukam stability will significantly affect the Pilkada stages. «We agree that all components of the nation and state need to maintain political, legal, and security stability for the 2024 Pilkada,» he ended. Preventing Conflict Before the 2024 Pilkada Hadi Tjahjanto provided a specific message to the TNI, Polri, and BIN for the security of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada. Hadi advised that regions with potential conflicts should be addressed before security disturbances arise. He said this while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on June 26th, 2024. «Specifically TNI, Polri, and BIN. BIN was also attending, in the mapping of regions, must identify regions with potential conflicts to mitigate security disturbances before they occur,» stated Hadi. «TNI, Polri, and BIN must be vigilant, aware in advance, so that they can mitigate any possible issues,» he added. Furthermore, Hadi called for synergy from local governments in supporting the 2024 Pilkada organization. If local governments do not facilitate, the simultaneous Pilkada will certainly be disrupted. «Therefore, total collaboration can ensure the successful implementation of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada,» he said. Hadi reminded local governments to take important measures, including avoiding overlaps between the central and local governments.

**PKS Does Not Want to Be Just a Ronin** Political analyst Adi Prayitno believes that PKS’s decision to nominate its cadre is understandable, given that in the 2017 Jakarta Pilkada, PKS could only nominate candidates from other parties. «Even the deputy gubernatorial position left by Sandiaga Uno, which should have been PKS’s share, was also willingly given to Gerindra,» stated Adi. Therefore, Adi believes that in this Jakarta Pilkada, PKS does not want to continue being a supporter of other parties’ cadres. PKS wants to be a deciding party. Especially with the label as the winner of the legislative elections in Jakarta. «As the winning party in the legislative elections, PKS certainly does not want to continue being a ronin. PKS does not want to be merely political firewood for nominating candidates, but to have a PKS cadre as governor or deputy governor,» said Adi. «This time, PKS wants to appear as a leader candidate. As the main actor in winning, and as a figure who can secure Jakarta 1 or Jakarta 2. That’s the point,» stated Adi.

Kaka Suminta stressed that to avoid any suspicions of lobbying by prospective regent and deputy regent pairs related to administrative verification, the central KPU needs to intervene. «There must be oversight from the central KPU,» said Kaka. He added that to avert any clandestine attempts at committing fraud during administrative verification, the central KPU should enforce strict oversight. «If pairs do not pass administrative verification, they should not be given any leeway that could damage democracy,» he said.
