“NHM management continues to collaborate closely and openly with stakeholders, namely the KPU of Halut Regency and North Maluku Province, as well as the local Bawaslu, so that the election at the NHM TPS in Gosowong can be carried out smoothly. NHM management supports neutrality in elections by upholding the principles of direct, general, free, secret, honest, and fair elections (Luber Jurdil),” said General Manager Planning & Productions, Kiki Kosmara.

The running of the 2024 election is fully supported by the involvement of various departments at NHM, including Social Performance, Human Resources, Government Relations & Permitting, Communications, Warehouse and Transport, Flight & Camp, and Security, under the coordination of the Head of the Stakeholder Engagement Division of the Social Performance Department, Dodi Panudu.

After carrying out calculations and evaluations, Bawaslu Halut recommended repeat voting (PSU) at one of the NHM TPS, such as TPS 903. As a result, the implementation of the PSU at TPS 903 NHM was held on Wednesday (21/02) at the Gosowong Multipurpose Building. The Indonesian Bawaslu supervision and monitoring team, Chairman of the North Maluku Provincial KPU, Pudja Sutamat, and Member of the North Maluku Bawaslu, Rusly Saraha, were present to directly witness the running of the PSU at NHM. Apart from that, members of the Halut KPU, Halut Bawaslu, and representatives of the Halut Regency Government (Pemkab), Anwar S. Kabalmay, as Head of the Kesbangpol Agency, were also seen.

According to Member of the Halut KPU Technical Division, Sefriando Bitakono, the implementation of the PSU at the NHM TPS was in accordance with the schedule and stages stated in the KPU’s decision, where the voters who voted at the PSU were those registered in the DPT and DPTb NHM TPS. The implementation of the NHM TPS PSU is only for the election of presidential candidates and vice presidential candidates.

The running of the PSU at NHM also received a good response and appreciation from Bawaslu Halut. NHM has maximized services and facilities for the 2024 election in order to uphold the principles of Luber Jurdil and fight for voting rights for all employees. The Head of the Halut Bawaslu, Ahmad Idris, also appreciated that, based on the results of monitoring at the PSU location at the NHM TPS, it had taken place safely and in accordance with established procedures.
