"The Blora KPU only determines the elected legislative candidates and seats are obtained according to the majority of votes in that political party," explained Widi.
If there are any changes, explained Widi, based on the mechanism in accordance with Election Law number 7 of 2017, election participants who are political parties must send a notification letter to the KPU, then the KPU will provide clarification.
"After everything is finished, we will submit it to the Province, just waiting for the inauguration which will take place in August 2024," added Widi.
