According to the North Sumatra Police Chief, Inspector General Agung Setya Imam Effendi, the 2024 Election went well overall. The Dean of FISIP USU, Dr. Hatta Ridho, S.Sos., MSP, also added that if there are parties who feel objections, they can resolve them constitutionally.
This post-election political dialogue is expected to reduce tensions and provide a common understanding between different parties because elections are often perceived as raising controversial and sensitive issues. The dialogue also allows various parties, including academics, political parties, election activists, observers, and civil society, to exchange ideas, views, and experiences.
