Direktur Lingkar Madani (Lima) Ray Rangkuti, mengkritisi lonjakan perolehan suara Partai Solidaritas Indonesia (PSI) pada Pemilu 2024 yang dianggapnya tidak wajar. Menurut pengamat politik ini, Sistem Informasi Rekapitulasi (Sirekap) yang dikembangkan oleh KPU RI sebaiknya dihentikan total karena bisa menimbulkan kekisruhan di tengah masyarakat.
Ray Rangkuti menyatakan bahwa although he cannot confirm whether the increase in PSI votes is due to inflation, there has been a significant increase in votes in an unusual situation. He suggests that the KPU RI should display the vote count manually to make it easier for candidates to monitor their vote count through C Hasil.
He further suggests that the significant increase in PSI votes could be due to intentional manipulation or technical errors, and if the increase is intentional, it could pose a significant danger. Ray also mentions that the recurring issues with Sirekap calculations could be brought up for investigation into alleged election fraud in the 2024 legislative elections in the DPR.
In conclusion, Ray Rangkuti raises concerns about the possibility of abuse of power in the 2024 elections, including the legislative elections, and urges for transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
