RELATED to the statement of the Election Committee (Panlih) Secretary of the Vice Governor, Erwin Lamporo to the Governor as the chairman of the coalition of political parties, Legowo put Oscar Paudi into the would-be governor candidate received a response from Governor and Chairman of Gerindra Party of Central Sulawesi, Longki Djanggola.
In accordance with the electronic mail which was sent overnight to the editor of Kaili Post, mentioning that there are parties who have not understood the mechanism of the Vice Governor candidate selection process ranging from the political party bearer to the discussion and the election at the level of the Special Committee established by the Regional Representative Council of Central Sulawesi.
The delivery was related to the statement of the Secretary of the Vice Governor’s Special Election Committee, Erwin Lamporo, quoted in print and online edition of Kaili Post, Wednesday, May 5, 2017. Erwin said that the Governor, Longki Djanggola as the user should be careful to let in the Chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Oskar Paudi as one of the vice governor candidate.
In fact, “The determination of Mohammad Hidayat Lamakarate and Zainal Daud, Tuesday, February 14, 2017 and then, as the Vice Governor candidate of Central Sulawesi is in accordance mechanisms through deliberation and consensus without coercion of will to one political party bearers only. This is PAN, has not provided a letter of recommendation from the DPP, “said Head of Region who is also the Chairman of Gerindra Party of Central Sulawesi for Local Representative House.
According to Longki, “The decision was taken unanimously through deliberation and consensus up to the 5th meeting held by Gerindra, PAN, PBB and PKB, so that if any party mentioned that a party was not involved in the establishment or called marginalized. I think this statement is fully wrong, “said the former Regent of Parigi Moutong.
As is known, according to the invitation letter recorded by Chairman of DPW PAN, Oskar R. Paudi was invited to the 5th meeting which finally unanimously through consensus set Hidayat and Zainal. But they did not come. There was a one-time meeting also postponed due to the absence of Chairman of DPW PAN. So it was counted as he deliberately did not come. Though it’s an important meeting, only the Secretary of DPW PAN, Kaharuddin Shah attended at that time.
“So it would be a mistake if he mentioned the determination of candidate names for the deputy governor did not involve any of the political parties, to be mentioned PAN,” he stated.
Longki explained at the initial meetings, Oskar conveyed to the forum that the Secretary General of DPP PAN asked himself as one of the candidates for governor in accordance with his party’s policy. However, until the fifth meeting, he could not show the recommendation from DPP PAN. From DPW PAN, he only recommends his own name.
“He thinks it’s his party’s policy. And we respect that. But later in deliberation and consensus, his name does not appear as one of vice governor candidates. Three staging parties proposed by Mr. Hidayat and Mr. Zainal. Is it because the name does not come in, then the results of the deliberation cannot be recognized? What kind of democracy model is this?, “Longki said.
The Governor also stressed that the determination of Vice Governor candidate is not the authority of the Special Election Committee. They are the Special Committee established by the DPRD of Central Sulawesi to prepare the Vice-Regent Selection of Central Sulawesi. Longki evaluated that it is a funny thing when Erwin Lamporo would like to issue threats to take a firm stance and so on related vice governor candidate.
“It is not their authority to question who should be carried by the Stallen Party to the DPRD. I as a user obviously have a special assessment regarding candidacy because later on they will work with me to run the wheels of government and development in Central Sulawesi. Therefore, I tend to choose a figure I can work with, “explained Governor Longki.
According to Longki, “About the recommendation from the DPP PAN which has not come yet, I think this is not because PAN cadres are not included in the nomination bourse, yet it is related to the mechanism of his party. On the beginning, we have requested that the Chairman of DPW PAN, Oskar Paudi conveyed to us about the recommendation from the DPP, but he also did not deliver it, so where is actually the end of the problem? ”
Governor Longki requested that the Election Committee or anyone involved in it always keep their statements. Especially when submitted to the mass media. As a representative of the people, Longki hopes that Erwin or anyone can convey a productive opinion of the election process for Vice Governor candidates. Not even counterproductive, while they do not understand about it. **
