SUNDAY, November 24, 2024, after the stages of the Regional Head Election [Pilkada] for Governor, Regent and Mayor have been carried out, enter the QUIET period stage, to prepare [voters] to enter the Polling Stations [TPS] on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
Three days in a QUIET atmosphere, is expected to be a momentum to loosen or get rid of fatigue, so that it is replaced with a more relaxed, comfortable and bright cheerful atmosphere.
The democratic party that takes up a lot of energy, thoughts and materials [as political costs], so the QUIET period is expected to be a medium for relaxing the minds and all physical components of the candidate pairs, as well as the WINNING team.
The QUIET period is also expected to be a component of mediation for friendship between all candidate pairs and winning teams, so that the sense of togetherness, tolerance, and shared responsibility in developing their respective regions can be well maintained and civilized.
The QUIET period is also expected to be a medium for self-introspection for voters before entering the VOTING BOARD to determine which pair is worthy and worthy of becoming governor, regent and mayor for the next 5 years.
The end of the Pilkada stage is when voters receive their ballots, then stand in front of the ballot box and compromise with their CONSCIENCE to stab the sharp tip of a nail into the picture [or number] of the candidate pair for governor, regent and mayor.
It is the CONSCIENCE that ultimately decides who is elected. By building a dialogue with the CONSCIENCE DAY early on, in the future there will be no regrets when the chosen one deviates from the vision and mission of regional development that he/she leads. Why? Because, the voters have limited access in “diving into the character of the candidate pair” they want to choose.
Then, what is no less important is how the candidate pairs and winning teams can accept DEFEAT or VICTORY wrapped in a wrapper of CIVILIZATION and SINCERITY.
Because a fight, always and always, only has one goal, which is to achieve VICTORY or DEFEAT.
Come on… enter the CALM period with CALM wrapped in CIVILIZATION and CONSCIENCE.
