TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Ministry of Home Affairs is reviewing preparations for the 2024 Papua Pegunungan regional head election. The review is mainly focused on funding and mitigating the risk of conflict.

Togap Simangunsong, the Home Ministry's acting director-general for policy and general administration, said that Papua Pegunungan was one of the new autonomous regions (DOB) in Papua that needed more attention.

" Particularly in terms of implementing financial support or grants, the readiness of election organisers in the provinces, as well as other issues related to the vulnerability of simultaneous regional elections. Bearing in mind that the regional election will be held in about four months," Togap said in a written statement Tempo received Monday, 29 July.

Papua Pegunungan is a province resulting from the expansion of Papua province in 2022. There are two other provinces that have become new autonomous regions, namely Central Papua and South Papua.

In addition to the preparations with the Home Ministry, the Papua Pegunungan provincial government also held a ceremony for the signing of the declaration for peaceful regional elections in 2024.

The Acting Governor of Papua Pegunungan, Velix V. Wanggai, said that the purpose of signing the 2024 Peaceful Elections Declaration was to ensure that the 2024 regional elections in Papua Pegunungan Province would be held smoothly, safely, peacefully and without conflict.

The declaration was signed by Velix V. Wanggai, Togap Simangunsong and representatives from the KPU and Bawaslu of the Papua Pegunungan Province.

"Based on the experience of last February's elections, we need to immediately identify the possibility of conflict both before the regional elections, during the voting period, the counting period and the post-voting period," he said.

According to him, inter-agency cooperation is necessary to ensure that the regional elections run smoothly.
