00:00The election process
00:05A number of institutions and election bodies have imposed sanctions on the head of the General Election Commission, Hashim Masary.
00:14They consider Hashim's sanctions as one of the examples of the disruption of the general election process, which began with the chaotic process of candidate selection.
00:24An expert from the University of Indonesia, Titi Anggraini, said there were various issues in the process of selecting candidates for KPU and Bawaslu in the period 2022-2027.
00:38Among those issues, there is a strong suspicion that there is a fraudulent practice related to the selection process.
00:43Titi suspects that there are lobbyists who were selected by the DPR government commission before the approval and approval test.
00:51Because, before this stage was launched, a number of names that were said to be fraudulent and others were recommended to the president.
00:58Even the names that were mentioned before the direct test are now in the chair of the KPU commissioner.
01:04The Director-Executive of Democracy and Electoral Empowerment Partnership, Neni Nur Hayati, said there were issues in the process of selecting candidates for KPU and Bawaslu in the period 2022-2027, both from the elements of the participants and the committee.
01:21Neni said in the third stage selection, that is, the interview session, without the presence of the committee to a number of candidates.
01:30This was seen when the Secretary of the Selection Committee, who is also the Director-General of Politics and Government of the National Government, Batiar, praised a number of participants in the interview session.
01:41The problem is, 6 of the participants who received the test were sent to be KPU Commissioners, including Hashim Asyari.
01:49Member of the 2nd Committee of the DPR, Mardhani Elisera, admitted to the suspicion of those who committed the fraud.
01:55He admitted that there was a trick, that is, pulling the attention of KPU and Bawaslu members with figures in the DPR, which was reported to be a mistake in the selection process, including in the Hashim selection process.
02:07The suspicion of pulling the attention, Mardhani continued, became more suspicious after the leaks of the names of the selected members were leaked on the second day of the qualification and approval test.
02:19Representative of the Director-General of Politics and Government of the National Government, Hurria, said that the hobby-hobby practices carried out by KPU members or political parties in the process of selecting KPU members are a coercive concept, the current commissioner election system.
02:32According to him, the qualification and approval test mechanism requires direct political communication between the candidates and the 2nd Committee of the DPR, which will elect the candidates as well as the electors.
02:45Hurria urged the government to change the system of electing KPU members and Bawaslu so that the electors are integrated, competent and accountable.
02:55For example, the results of the selection of commissioners were decided by the selection committee, not the DPR. Later, the DPR functioned to set the name of the selection results to be immediately handed over to the President.
03:06Meanwhile, a member of the KPU Bawaslu candidate selection committee, on February 2020-2027, Endang Sulastri, said that his team has worked in accordance with the basics and mechanisms set out in the legislation.
