Chief Justice Anwar Usman delivered an address in the general lecture and focus group discussion on “Realizing Simultaneous Legislative and Presidential Elections of Integrity” at the Hasanuddin University (Unhas) Rectorate, Makassar on Friday (26/10/2018). He said that the elections are the logical consequence of democracy. On the other hand, there has been anomaly where democracy that was directed for the people only serves the elites that have capitals or are in close connection to those with capitals.
At the end of his address, he said that in order to realize elections that have integrity, cooperation and synergy among all state organs related to elections—the General Elections Commission (KPU), the Elections Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu), the Election Organizer Ethics Council (DKPP), the Police, the Prosecution Office, the Supreme Court, and the academic community—must educate the public on the importance of elections of integrity.
