Jakarta (B2B) - Presiden RI Joko Widodo mengharapkan potensi kerawanan dalam pelaksanaan pemilihan kepala daerah (Pilkada) serentak 2015 harus diantisipasi sejak dini.
"Ada hal-hal yang perlu diantisipasi, misalnya di daerah yang beberapa waktu ini ada potensi ketegangan sosial, itu harus diperhatikan secara serius," kata Menteri Sekretaris Negara Pratikno mengutip pernyataan Presiden di Jakarta pada Selasa (3/11).
Presiden bertemu dengan pejabat Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU), Badan Pengawas Pemilu (Bawaslu) dan Dewan Kehormatan Penyelenggara Pemilu (DKPP) di Istana Negara Jakarta pada Selasa.
Selain Menteri Pratikno, Presiden Jokowi didampingi Menteri Dalam Negeri Tjahjo Kumolo.
Dia mengatakan antisipasi antara lain perlu dilakukan di beberapa daerah yang calon kepala daerahnya sedang diperdebatkan.
"Itu juga perlu perhatian serius, juga beberapa daerah dengan calon tunggal," katanya.
Jakarta (B2B) - Indonesian President Joko Widodo has called for anticipatory steps to prevent social conflicts during the simultaneous regional head elections in December 2015.
"There are matters that need to be anticipated such as in certain regions where social tensions were recently reported. We should pay serious attention to this," Minister/State Secretary Pratikno quoted the president as saying on Tuesday.
President Jokowi held a meeting with representatives of the General Elections Commission (KPU), the General Elections Supervisory Board (Bawaslu), and the Honorary Council of the General Elections (DKPP) at the State Palace on Tuesday.
During the meeting, the president was accompanied by Pratikno and Home Affairs Minister Tjahjo Kumolo, among others.
Pratikno said the other potential areas of conflict included regions where the head candidates were still questioned by the public.
"We have to pay serious attention to this. Also, attention should be given to regions where there is only one candidate," he affirmed.
