**Realize a Good Pilkada** Because of the many 'dawn attacks' in the last election, Warits reminded that this Pilkada must be protected together, synergized together to be honest, fair, and safe from all fraud. "Yes, we must guard it together. Because it is impossible for Bawaslu alone, the KPU only has six people with its secretariat in each sub-district. Three PPS, three PPS secretariat. They have six people plus seven PKD members, seven people in each village guarding sub-districts with thousands of residents, even tens of thousands. To guard against 'dawn attacks,' it's impossible to handle alone. Therefore, it must be guarded together," Warits advised. Warits said that citizens can only vote in the Pilkada if their mental condition is not insane or they are sane. This means that those who can vote are those who think and are normal. "Do not let the thoughts of the people who can vote be bought at a very cheap price, even cheaper than a chicken. That is an insult to the people. Because those who cannot think should not vote. For example, insane people are regulated by law and should not be included in the DPT. Thus, synergy among all of us is necessary to realize a better Pilkada. I think it's important," he stated.

Previously, the National Awakening Party (PKB) stated that they want to collaborate with PDIP to build Jakarta together. PKB Secretary General Hasanuddin Wahid said that PKB cadres and grassroots are encouraging Anies Baswedan to run in the Jakarta Regional Election. According to him, the decision will be more legitimate if PDIP supports Anies. "The essence is that we want to build Jakarta together with PDIP," said Hasanuddin Wahid to reporters on Tuesday (25/6/2024).

The Secretary General of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), Aboe Bakar Al-Habsyi, stated that the declaration of the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman (AMAN) candidate pair for the Jakarta Regional Election has gone through communication with Anies and the parties in the Coalition for Change, namely NasDem and PKB. "A statement like this would not happen without dialogue. There has been in-depth communication with NasDem and PKB," said Aboe at the Parliament Complex in Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday (26/6/2024).

"Because in our country's constitution, the preamble of the 1945 Constitution mandates that the sovereignty of the people is fundamental in the administration of our state. Achieving our national goals must place the sovereignty of the people as something fundamental," said Warits in Surabaya on June 25, 2024. Warits highlighted that through the 2024 Pilkada, the sovereignty of the people must be safeguarded together through participatory supervision in public spaces that need to be created. "Because elections are the voice of the people, they must be protected together. They must not be lost," he remarked.

PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto voiced his opinion on the rumor about a duet between Anies Baswedan and Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, also known as Ahok, as governor and deputy governor candidates in the Jakarta Pilkada. Hasto stated that his party embraces the nation's best talents.

According to Ujang, this win-win solution can already be seen. For instance, in West Java, Gerindra Party is open to nominating Dedi Mulyadi, who has already become their cadre. Therefore, they are pushing RK to compete in Jakarta. "In West Java, Gerindra might want to take it with Dedi Mulyadi as the gubernatorial candidate and Ridwan Kamil from Golkar in Jakarta. This is a win-win solution for KIM to win in both regions," he said.

Participatory supervision itself, Warits said, is the activity of ensuring the process of Pilkada stages by collecting data, information, and inventorying findings related to the implementation of the Pilkada by independent and non-partisan community groups or organizations. "Participatory supervision aims to ensure the conduct of honest, fair, clean, and transparent elections whose results can be accepted by all parties, both Pilkada participants and the wider community," explained Warits.
